Being 28 years old I sometimes wish I had been old enough to see a trully patriotic america, and get the chance to watch the rifleman on black and white tubes. I have to say that I love cowboy songs and western swing. So, to be sure the ladies arent left out...

I guess they didnt teach Martys Backup singer any firearms safety.
He broke the 180 rule!! He broke the 180 rule!! ;D
For great cowboy music, try some of the modern folks. No links, y'all can find them on Youtube.
Ian Tyson - the granddaddy of modern Western music; who needs Country when Ol' Ian's around?
Brenn Hill - anything that's not a cover of something Tyson has done; try Last of the Red Rock Riders or Horseback Getaway
RW Hampton - his song The Journey is almost my life story
Joni Harms - cowgirl from Oregon, check out Old Fashioned Girl or Blue Montana Moon
Ken Overcast - only 1-eyed cowboy poet I've ever met; start with A Cowboy and His Bride
Nanci Griffith - if you ain't bawling like a calf by the end of Montana Backroad, you ain't alive
Rex Allen Jr. - OK, had to through in a oldie just to shake you up
Cindy Church - does a lot of duets with Tyson; try Love on the Range
Katy Moffatt - her Hallie Lonigan is one of the best songs about life on the Prairie ever; also try Me and My Uncle; Black Diamond is another elegy to a horse that has no equal
