Silver Sam, SASS #34718L Posted February 19, 2016 Author Posted February 19, 2016 "Big Ball's In Cowtown" by Bob Wills and His Texas Playboys. George Straight with Asleep At The Wheel also did a great rendition of it. "Big Iron" Marty Robbins Big Ball's in Cowtown is a Classic!!!!
German Jim Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Lots of GREAT Cow Boy songs! Many of them are favorites. Can't pick out just one. May have missed it, but Dave Stamey is great artist. Here's one that I really like.
Rex M Rugers #6621 Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 I couldn't pick just one favorite from the hundreds of great Cowboy songs , but I really like The Sons of the Pioneers 1947 version of Blue Shadows on the Trail. And Gene Autry's Riding Down the Canyon. And Jimmy Wakely's Along the Santa Fe Trail. Not to mention Rex Allen , R.W. Hampton , Don Edwards , Eddy Dean ,,,,,,, Too many , Rex
Red Hooker Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 Ghost Riders in the Sky....... Unbelievably Awesome !!!!!! Ever heard the original version by Burl Ives ????? Not Vaughn Monroe?!? Update: Apparently neither, in fact. Google sez one Stan Jones had the original release. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%28Ghost%29_Riders_in_the_Sky:_A_Cowboy_Legend
H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted February 19, 2016 Posted February 19, 2016 I just noticed that nobody has mentioned either My Hero's Have Always Been Cowboy, or Momma's Don't Let your Babies Grow up to be Cowboys.
Caddo Kid Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Damn Sam, now I have spent the night listening to Cowboy Songs! The
Sgt. John Campbell, SASS #58165 Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 You simply can't get more cowboy than Chris LeDoux, here's "God Must Be A Cowboy" And "Sometimes You Just Gotta Ride"
Silver Sam, SASS #34718L Posted February 20, 2016 Author Posted February 20, 2016 Not Vaughn Monroe?!? Update: Apparently neither, in fact. Google sez one Stan Jones had the original release. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%28Ghost%29_Riders_in_the_Sky:_A_Cowboy_Legend Yes, Stan Jones wrote Ghost Riders in the Sky and did make a very early recording of it. But I THINK Burl Ives version was the first released recording of the song. The most successful recording was the one by Vaughn Monroe. They're All Great !!!!!

rusty barrels Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Lot of good ones here, I am surprised that Billy Dean's, (I miss Billy the kid) is not mentioned here.
Deadeye Drake Wilson Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 This may not be up everyone's alley but it's one of my favorites of all of them. Roy Rogers Can Yodel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u00Y11x16V0
J-BAR #18287 Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Growing up in Pueblo, I would listen to the radio late at night. My station would sign off with this:

Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 All great stuff. Ran needles through all of Marty Robbins records and while Bob Wills isn't technically cowboy to me I wore his out and many others too. Andy Wilkinson, relative of Charlie Goodnight is another I really like! Got my byline from this song: This one always swells the chest and puts a lump in the throat:
