Call You Cowboy is an American Western album released by Brenn Hill in 2001. The album was nominated as Traditional Western Album of the Year by the Western Music Association.[1]
"Call You Cowboy"[edit]
The title track was chosen by the Members of the Western Writers of America as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.[2] In the song, the singer talks to another person whose "father calls you a drifter, but I call you cowboy", then describes what are, to him, the attributes of a "cowboy" — intricacy, complexity, innovation, survivability, and unwillingness to conform.[3][4]
