Cowboy Tracks

This is an encore presentation of the previously aired “Cowboy Songs for Kids of all Ages” episode.

This is an encore presentation of the previously aired “Western Writers Top Song Picks” episode.

"Western Writers Top Song Picks part 2 REFRESHED." Last week, we aired part 1 of the Western Writers Top Song Picks and this week is part 2. this episode is a refreshed version of one aired in 2018 - some of the recordings are newly released versions of the classics. The Western Writers of America are authors of western fiction and nonfiction. A few years back they voted on what they consider the Top 100 best Western Songs of All Time. Today we'll play selections from the top 40 on the list and counting down to #1.

“Western Tunes and Author Dani Jorgensen”. Dani Jorgensen recently wrote “a classic western novel for modern readers”.  We’ll chat with Dani on today’s show.  We’ve also got a playlist packed with  contemporary western music. Do drop in!

“Western Swing Society, Hall of Fame.”  There's a big shindig coming up - it's the induction of western swing artists into the Western Swing Society's Hall of Fame. Leading up to the ceremony are three days of music and dancing. On this episode, hear a sampler of music from western swing bands performing at the event and/or being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

“Off the Top!” In this freewheeling episode, Nancy lets the inspiration of the moment help her select a western song or poem from a stack of some of the best CDs.

"DJ's Choice." This episode is a mix of songs and poetry that are either hot-off-the-press or slightly older and less well-known but deserving of more airplay.

“Western Ways” episode.

"Living the Western Dream."

"The Great Wide Open."
