Cowboy Western
Yee, and furthermore, haw — with cinematic reverb.
Cowboy Western is a style from the Dust and Highway family. 76 BPM, Weirdness 32, Style Influence 89.
A whistle, spurs, and an endless desert. The cowboy song rides the line between myth and dust.

Sample excerpt
Sky went red about an hour after supper, cattle settled, dog gave up and lay down. Out here a man talks mostly to the horse, and the horse has never once disagreed.
Ride easy, sun's already gone, ain't nobody expecting us tonight. Some men need a town to feel like something, I just need the light to hold this long.
Workshop note — First person, present, spare and wide. Cowboy western is landscape first, feeling second: name the sky, the herd, the horse. At 76 BPM let phrases hang and end on long vowels for the open harmony.
