Is it because they both celebrate archetypes of rugged individualists? Or is it just that a robot in a cowboy hat is friggin awesome? ...

  Another Old Movie Blog — Authority: 113
  “The Singing Cowboy” (1936) didn’t exactly invent the genre, if we can call it that, of the singing cowboy kind of B-westerns, but it certainly cemented it.

• Death at Dark Water by John D. Nesbitt (Western)

  
  Somebody Dies — Authority: 122
  Traditional Westerns are great, but every once in a while a nontraditional one is a nice respite from the sameness of many novels in the genre.
