Against Me! as the Eternal Cowboy (sometimes referred to as just The Eternal Cowboy) is the second studio album by the punk rock band Against Me!, released on November 3, 2003 by Fat Wreck Chords. It was the group’s first release for the label and their first album with bassist Andrew Seward, who had replaced original bassist Dustin Fridkin the previous year. The album was produced by Rob McGregor, who had also produced their first album Against Me! Is Reinventing Axl Rose (2002). Two singles were released in support of the album, “Cavalier Eternal” and “Sink, Florida, Sink”, though each features different versions of the songs than those found on the album. As the Eternal Cowboy was Against Me!’s first album to reach the Billboard charts, reaching No. 36 on Top Independent Albums. In 2009 Fat Wreck Chords released The Original Cowboy, a demo recording that the band had done in preparation for recording the album.
