Cowboy Poetry

Step beyond country music to discover "true western music." Music about western life, hardships, and adventure; cowboy ballads that tell the tales of the old west, the rugged individualists, ranchers, cowboys, vaqueros, Indians, outlaws, gunfighters, and pioneers. These are western songs about the people and events that make the tales of the west worth telling and interesting to hear, even if some are more tale than truth. The "western" has long been removed from country-western music.

Modern day country music now dominates what used to be the country-western genre, but western music is still around and in many ways, better than ever. Here you'll find traditional and contemporary true western music. Cowboy crooners and western music artists sing great cowboy songs and play western music, new and old. You’ll also find cowboy poetry, ballads, western swing, and old-time saloon piano music.
