Cowboy Music

[lightshow]

So my friend is going on a long road trip out to the great American west and he wanted me to look for him some cowboy music.

I'm not too sure exactly what cowboy music is, and I don't think he really knows either.

My closest idea of what to look for was a couple of songs off the American Kill Bill movie OST (original soundtrack). I've since lost the album but they were some really cool sounding songs that you would imagine an American Indian Tribe playing around a campfire.

Since I know everyone here is a music guru, what would you recommend looking for that is cowboy music?

Do you mean, country music?

Nope, I mean cowboy music.

Maybe you could be more specific, then.

Boards of Canada has a song called Dayvan Cowboy that has a twangy, western yet electronic feel to it. Reminds me of Roland in The Dark Tower series every time I listen to it.

Jerry Reed's East Bound and Down is must have along with anything pertaining to Smokey and the Bandit.

Happy hunting for more songs, dude!!!

I thought of one more... Frankie Laine sings a song called Blazing Saddles for the 1974 movie called Blazing Saddles. Good song if you're going for some old school country.

I think you may be looking for the type of songs that Roy Rogers, Gene Autry and other cowboys sang in the 1930's to the 1950's. Those particular two were also movie cowboys. They sang songs like;

Home On The Range
Back In The Saddle Again
South Of The Border
Four Legged Friend,etc.

I hope that is of some help to you.

He may be looking for the good old classics as mentioned above. I also do not think that he knows what country music is. Just check out some of the names above and you will be able to search related artists on any music web site to help get some names together. Oink would be the place to go for it all.

I prefer the old country tunes over the modern crap. Just look up Country genre on any music tracker and I am sure you find something to your liking.

I like the old Nashville. Truse that most of the modern stuff sucks.

My favorite is Texas country though.
