country-western

Twangy American genre

Country-western describes a style of American popular music blending country traditions with western swing and cowboy themes.

The term peaked in mid-20th century usage; today country alone usually suffices.

A country-western bar features this music, line dancing, and often cowboy attire: We went to a country-western club in Nashville.
