Silver Sam, SASS #34718L 558 Posted February 19, 2016 Author Share 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!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
German Jim 46 Posted February 19, 2016 Share 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. Link to post Share on other sites

Red Hooker 42 Posted February 19, 2016 Share 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 Link to post Share on other sites

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 !!!!! Link to post Share on other sites

Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 625 Posted February 21, 2016 Share 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: Link to post Share on other sites
