What music do cowboys listen to?

Cowboy music is a genre of American folk music associated with the culture of the North American cowboy. It typically consists of ballads and dance tunes, mostly accompanied by guitar, fiddle, and accordion.

Traditional cowboy music originated in the 19th century among cowboys in the Western United States and Northern Mexico, and flourished especially in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Cowboys from different ethnicities contributed, including those of Mexican, African, and Native American heritage.

Cowboy music shares roots with folk traditions from Britain, Mexico, and elsewhere in the Americas, and influenced the development of country music. Today, cowboy music continues to be performed and enjoyed by people around the world.
