Great streaming western music and much more!
From their website:
“If anyone believed the “civilian” press, the American West, and all of its iconic symbols, has died more often than a cheap light bulb. They are wrong! The American West and the intrinsic importance of the horse are still sacred to a large part of America’s population even today in the 21st century. Why?
“For many, the horse and cow culture of the American West continues to hold hard their hearts, minds and livelihoods. It is an indescribable passion that infiltrates their daily lives, in a way of life that enables them to be part of one of this country’s only root based cultures – a culture of personal self-reliance, of commitment to the land, and competency in doing work controlled by nature’s time clock of seasons. A career in agriculture and ranching is way of life never perfected but always a process of selection and an apprenticeship of acquired skills.
“Today, there remain many who believe in the way of the West. What it is, what it was, and what it still can be – if approached with stewardship based on appropriate and selfless values. It is for those people everywhere, we created Ranch & Reata Radio and – coming soon – Ranch & Reata Digital Magazine.
“Ranch & Reata is not just another horse or lifestyle website. It treats the West as a place of passion and possibility. The western music we play offers classics and new music, favorites and unusual mixes – all with the idea of creating a personal soundtrack for our listeners. Ranch & Reata is a music experience that is just that – great music all the time with little interruption. We want you to listen whenever a computer or wireless method avails it self. It’s easy. Just click on the little R&R Radio and follow the prompt to download the player and start listening. We guarantee, if you love the West, you’ve never heard radio like Ranch & Reata. Where else can you here everyone from Ian Tyson to Norah Jones, from Kevin Costner to Patsy Cline and Russell Crow to Tom Russell? Really, only one place…www.ranchandreata.com.
“And there is much more! The West has always been driven by great magazines – Western Horseman, Beef, American Cowboy, Cowboy, and Cowboys & Indians – among others. While they maycontinue to entertain and enlighten readers both in print and on the web, we believe there is still a little hole that needs to be filled. Our approach is providing a place where folks can read about great horses and great people, can read about the rise of the bridle horse culture and hear from other folks who feel a love for the West.”
