With all this talk about films in that genre we call The Western, I have a hankering to hear some cowboy tunes.

Here’s Dan Reeder’s Cowboy Song. This one’s not for the kiddies.

Here’s Tom Russell, one of my faves, performing Tonight we Ride. (I love the line “You don’t need no teeth for kissin girls or smokin big cigars”)

Here’s a great little interview with Ian Tyson from 1991, followed by a sweet version of Summer Wages. My father used to sing this tune around the house. He only knew two lines, but how many lines do you need anyway? Even after all these years, this song sounds so fresh.
