From the Oregon Trail to Toy Story, Western and cowboy music has helped shape the collective consciousness of our nation.

Veteran actor (and surprisingly good singer!) Wilford Brimley joins cowboy troubadours Riders in the Sky on this foot-stompin'', grin-makin'' album.

Sadly, country music and cowboy music are no longer synonymous. With Hollywood-polished country singers dominating the airwaves, traditional Western music can be difficult to find. These three singers, pulled from the Media Review page of American Cowboy are keeping the tradition alive.

Corb Lund and the Hurtin'' Albertans push the boundaries of country music—and the result is superb.

Ian Tyson''s 14th solo release blends silky-smooth vocals with cowboy wit and wisdom.

Dave Stamey sings tribute to the trials and joys of ranch life.

Western history comes to life in Jon Chandler''s new album.

After 70-plus years in the arena, Montie Montana, Jr. still does what he loves.
