Western music refers to a subgenre of country music. Influenced by the folk music of Ireland, Wales, England and Scotland, western music is composed by the people who lived in the western parts of the United States and Canada. As a result, the lyrics of western songs often depict the cowboy lifestyle, praise the Rocky Mountains and tell about the challenges of living in a range. Western music derives its inspiration from corrido, hillbilly music, Tejano music and ranchera. It employs accordion, acoustic guitar, banjo and various other instruments.If you want to discover western music, see our comprehensive library below!
