Answer 2

When I think of western music I think of artists like Red Steagal, Waddie Mitchell, Don Edwards Michael Martin Murphy & the Sons of the San Juaquin Valley. All are great musicians and I enjoy all their music. I prefer a song about how things were simpler in the old west than what they are singing about today. Even if the songs are about herding cattle across the great plains of Texas and having to deal with the heat and exhaustion. The songs back then were at least about real hard working cowboys.  

Answer 3

True classic country and western sounds.They don't make like that anymore.Gosh I miss that style music.

Answer 4

Great stuff! I like Johnny Horton's version of "When it's Springtime in Alaska, it's Forty Below" a bit better, though. And if you like old C&W, it's hard to beat Hank Sr.!

Answer 5

My kind of music!  Hank Snow is one of my favorites.   I have a version of Oklahoma Hills on my Youtube favorites list but this one has much better sound quality.  I'm going to delete the old one and add this one.  Thanks so much for posting!

The first #1 country song in history.  And it still sounds good today.

I'd rather listen to a bad REAL country song than the best of today's pop/rock "country"!!

Answer 16

i recently went to a saloon restaurant in arizona

they had a resident band playing c and w music

it reminded me of the frankie laine stuff my dad used to sing and play when i was very young

as you entered the compound (replica cowboy town) 'rawhide' was playing ......

it sounded fine in this setting
