remember when country music
kentko44 — Sat, 2010-07-10 09:58remember when country music was more than just singing about white trash beer drinking folks? and folks that refuse to take down the confederate flag?
when it was more about cowboys and western culture.
Sons of the Pioneers
Nolen W. Berry — Fri, 2010-07-02 13:53Who can match the body of work of the Sons of the Pioneers? Country Music Hall of Fame, National Cowboy Hall of Fame, Texas Swing Hall of Fame, Hollywood Walk of Fame... their songs Tumbling Tumbleweed and Cool Water in the Grammy Hall of Fame. AND they are still performing today after 75 years of continuous music. There have been many greats come after them but they were the first. Catch their current videos, bios and music at the official website sonsofthepioneers.org. Happy Trails!

My Gram rocked me to sleep singing
PrairieWylde — Sun, 2010-05-30 20:35Streets of Laredo when I was a little girl. I remember her singing all the time and we were always surrounded by music.
Rex Allen, Jr. did a concert for the radio station many years ago and in memory of my grandmother he sang it to me. What a special moment.
Long live cowboy music!
I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart
I want to learn to rope and ride
I want to ride o'er the plains and the deserts
Out west of the great divide
I want to hear the coyotes howlin'
As the sun sets in the West
I want to be a cowboy's sweetheart
The life I love the best

Singing Cowboys
eddie431 — Sun, 2010-01-24 00:28Tex Ritter, Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, The Sons of the Pioneers, even John Wayne as Singing Sandy and Smiley Burnett. I agree about Don Edwards He is good. If the young people today could hear What western music really sounds like. And don't forget Rex Allen. And don't forget Patsy Montana. That music will live forever.
I've always loved Tex Ritter

"Do not forsake me O my darlin'
You made that promise when we wed.
Do not forsake me O my darlin'
Although you're grievin', I can't be leavin'
Until I shoot Frank Miller dead!"
Cowboys & Cowgirls, A Rope & A Buck, Give Him A Kiss & Wish Him Luck!

cowboypeat (not verified) — Thu, 2010-05-13 08:23Young man, there's no need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy.
Young man, there's a place you can go.
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough.
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
They have everything for you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
You can get yourself cleaned, you can have a good meal,
You can do whatever you feel ...
Young man, are you listening to me?
I said, young man, what do you want to be?
I said, young man, you can make real your dreams.
But you got to know this one thing!
No man does it all by himself.
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf,
And just go there, to the y.m.c.a.
I'm sure they can help you today.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
They have everything for you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...

You can get yourself cleaned, you can have a good meal,
You can do whatever you feel ...
Young man, I was once in your shoes.
I said, I was down and out with the blues.
I felt no man cared if I were alive.
I felt the whole world was so tight ...
That's when someone came up to me,
And said, young man, take a walk up the street.
There's a place there called the y.m.c.a.
They can start you back on your way.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.
They have everything for you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...

Young man, young man, there's no need to feel down.
Young man, young man, get yourself off the ground.
Y-m-c-a ... you'll find it at the y-m-c-a.
Young man, young man, there's no need to feel down.
Young man, young man, get yourself off the ground.
Y-m-c-a ... just go to the y-m-c-a.
Young man, young man, are you listening to me?
Young man, young man, what do you wanna be?
Singing Cowboys
Tom_Horn — Wed, 2010-01-06 15:56I guess when I think of "Cowboy music" the first group that comes to mind is The Sons of the Pioneers. My favorite line up was when Curtis Gates sang with them. Most folks knew him as Ken Curtis or Festus. He was a Colorado Cowboy from Bent county. Roy Rogers sang with them for a while also.
I suppose my favorite is Don Edwards. I like his arrangements of old tradtional songs and the way he yodels (the way the oldtimers did) but most of all I like him as a man. I've met him a few times and he has got to be one of the most down to earth REAL people in or out of the entertainment business. He has graciously stood for photos (a couple Waddie Mitchell took) and taken time to just visit.
I like Ian Tyson even after his voice problems. His "Live at Longview" is my favorite. Michael Martin Murphy is always good. Red Steagall and Barry Ward remind us of the masters call. Marty Robbins, so smooth and timeless.
I think cowboy music is the best. As a matter of fact I think I will go put on The Prairie Rose Wranglers and see how much is left in that Wild Turkey bottle.
Feliz Senderos.
