All of Ian Tyson's stuff since the early 70s is definitely "western" music but if you're talking about old classics and traditional cowboy songs, his "Old Corrals and Sagebrush & Other Cowboy Culture Classics" on Vanguard Records, #151/52 - 2, released 1994.

If you go to www.pandora.com and "make" your own radio station using any of the names above, you ought to be able to get a fair representation/mix, for instance I put in "Don Edwards" and the first song up was My Blue Heaven. Following that will be songs in a similar vein.

I'd highly recommend two CDs by Brenn Hill; "Trail Through Yesterday" and "Deeper Than Mud" both of which can be purchased here.

If you're interested in a more folk/bluegrass approach to cowboy music, you can check out some sample files of my CD by clicking here.

I'd also second the recommendations of Don Edwards, Skip Gorman and Sourdough Slim...

Ah, right you are Sean. I started to list them but since they are more than cowboy singers, I did not, but SHOULD have. You are just as likely to get Carter Family or other old time songs.

And don't forget Gail's fiddle playing ~ most enjoyable, both of them.

The Texas Trailhands, though I've not seen them in several years are still winning recognitions from fans of western music. They have a website.

Red Stegall - I did not see mention of him but he deserves a listen.

Gillette Brothers - Ditto what Dale said, and you really should see them live if you get the chance. Same goes for the Texas Trailhands. The Gillettes don't blow you away with theatrics but their music is carefully chosen and well done and put into historical perspective.

Bob Campbell - has written some great western songs including one about Arbuckle Coffee and other artists are doing many of his songs.

Shanachie Records has a two-CD set called "When I Was a Cowboy", which I highly recommend. All the cuts are taken from 78RPM records, most are traditional Western songs and some of the artists were real cowboys. Also, try Glenn Ohrlin's CD on Rounder.

Mudcat's own Rex Rudeout's new "Jack Thorpe's Songs of the Cowboy" which is available with the book of the same name at THIS SITE and I see the first recommendation is by Don Edwards:

Mark Gardner and Rex Rideout have done a masterful job in their major contribution to the history of cowboy music and cowboy culture.

There is also a thread about it which you may read by clicking here.

I might have a couple of these left. If you are interested let me know by PM. Be sure to read down in the thread where Mudcatters helped to identify some of the original artists. It was a wonderful experience.

I second Chris LeDeux, esp. his early stuff. It's the pure-D authentic stuff of Wyoming. He used to bring his albums to the radio station where we worked when he was first starting out and needed airplay.

Also, Rex Allen and Rex Allen Jr. Maybe more country but still very cowboy, at least in my family's opinion.:-) Beautiful voices, both of them.

Have fun!

Regarding Around the Campfire, it is heard live on Saturday morning at 7am central time...I guess that's important if I piqued your interest. Saddle Songs is a 24 hour stream.

Subject: RE: Cowboy Music CD recommendations
From: John on the Sunset Coast
Date: 17 Sep 06 - 07:56 PM

I strongly endorse Fred McCormack's choice of "Back in the Saddle Again." This is a terrific introductory compilation of Cowboy Songs.
Another one is "Vintage Country & Western" on Gallerie GALE450, distributed out of the UK by Demon Music. I checked the website for Demon, and it seems this may be out of print. It has a lot of cowboy, and some western swing and bluegrass. Highly recommended if you can find it.
My all time favorite cowboy music is (early) Sons of the Pioneers, 1930s and early 1940s, and Tex Ritter who was a collector of this music as well as singer and western movie star.
I also like the Sons of the San Jouquin, Brenn Hill, as well as the earlier noted Don Edwards (my current favorite) and Michael Marrtin Murphy. And definitely Ian Tyson.
For those who have internet access--and, duh, I guess that's all of us--I recommend two sites: Saddle Songs at live365.com; and Around the Campfire at classicheartland.com heard live at 7am cental time USA, and repeated several times during the week. Both will give a great introductory variety of Cowboy Songs, old and new.
Welcome to my world...this IS my favorite type of music.

One more suggestion for folkies who want to get into cowbwoy music: Ramblin' Jack Elliot's recent (1999) "The Long Ride". About half Western themed, it has a few songs like "Dust In The Wind" which I have never heard before. Also Jack's "Diamond Joe" with the line "and the fleas to...". That song has been hard to find for years.

His research into the music is invaluable & it shows through in his singing, he's also I believe a champion fiddler in this style & yoddler/singer. Some of his backup includes Jeff Davis, David Surette, Connie Dover, Ken Sweeney, etc. Anyway I can't recommeend Skip high enough.

Another CD to check out is from A. Lomax's collection of "Deep River of Song" on Rounder, this volumn is called "Black Texans-Balladeers & Songsters of the Frontier" Like with shanties Blacks made up anywhere from 10%-20% of the laborers in this trade/field & recieve hardly any recognition or credit for their huge influence in these areas of music.

Marty Robbins released an album w/El Paso, Strawberry Roan, etc. I think it was called 'Gunfighter Ballads'. It's a little 'slick' as it was released in the 'Nashville Sound' era, but the songs are great.

Ditto to all of pdq's suggestions -- I should have thought of some of those. I have all of Ian Tyson's stuff except the last couple of albums. Add humorist/poet Baxter Black and rodeo/rancher/performer Chris Ledoux, who left us way too soon. Some of his music is quite authentic, some of it has a bit of a harder rock tinged edge to it.

LA's Tom Russell.

Tom Russell is 55 years old and hasn't lived in L.A. since he was a kid.    He now lives in West Texas.

Some of my favorite cowboy albums are:

Tom Russell- Cowboy Real
Tom Russell- Indians Cowboys Horses Dogs
Tom Russell- Song of the West: The Cowboy Collection
Ian Tyson- And Stood There Amazed
Ian Tyson- Cowboyography
Ian Tyson- Eighteen Inches Of Rain
Ian Tyson- I Outgrew The Wagon

Don Edwards- West Of Yesterday

Ian Tyson is the 'godfather' of the current Western music revival. The CD "Eighteen Inches Of Rain" is very even.

Other vetrans of the craft are Don Edwards, "Red" Steagall (as much a story-teller), The Sons of the San Joaquin, and "Skip" Gorman.

Other professional singers like Michael Martin Murphey and Peter Rowan try their hand at 'cowboy music', as do singer-songwriters like LA's Tom Russell.

Folkies should try "High Lonesome Cowbay" CD. It's Peter Rowan, but he shares duties with Tony Rice, Norman and Nancy Blake, and Don Edwards.

http://www.campstreetcafe.com/ You just can't go wrong with the Gillette Brothers, Guy and Pipp, ranchers and performers from Texas by way of Yonkers, NY, but they are the real deal. They are scholars of the music as well.

http://www.thepricklypair.com/   Prickly Pair, Les and Locke Hamilton, a husband and wife team from Wyoming, also ranchers and performers of the highest degree.

Both groups have sound files available.

Perhaps the most real deal out there is Glenn Ohrlin, rancher and former rodeo rider, but Glenn doesn't do internet so he doesn't have a site, but he is sufficiently well known that information is easy to find. Look around for his book, The Hell-Bound Train. Used copies are fairly easy to find. If you manage to find a copy, you'll be pleased with it, guaranteed.

I won't give you links because they are also easy to look up, but do consider Joni Harms and Stephanie Davis. I won't call them less authentic, but their music is a little more middle-of-the road at times. Good though!

Which of course reminds me of Bruce "Utah" Phillips, who does quite a bit of stuff that would be considered cowboy music.

A couple more easily located performers of interest would be Michael Martin Murphey and Don Edwards,.
