Blair Cowan is a Scottish musician, formerly a member of Lloyd Cole and the Commotions.[1] Following the breakup of that band, he continued to collaborate with Lloyd Cole early in the singer's solo career, playing and co-writing on 1990s Lloyd Cole and 1991's Don't Get Weird on Me Babe.
He has since performed on other artists' recordings, including Del Amitri, Texas, the Hot Rod Cadets,[2] the Kevin McDermott Orchestra, and Alisdair Robertson. His collaboration with Alisdair resulted in the album Confessions of a Justified Singer. He plays piano, keyboards, accordion, and melodica. In the 1990s, Cowan was a member and co-producer of Paul Quinn and the Independent Group on the revived Postcard Records.
In 2007 Blair played in Kevin McDermott's new album Wise to the Fade.[3]
In 2010 Blair collaborated on Lloyd Cole's Broken Record, co-writing Oh Genevieve.[4]
