Out country crooner Cameron Hawthorn serves up “Nothing Like A Cowboy,” a loping musical ride extolling the allure and attraction of a gentleman cowboy.

With a steel guitar keening in the background, Hawthorn delivers tender yet muscular vocals that echo the intimate, aching authenticity of the lyrics:

There’s nothing like a cowboy
A rough and tumble, hold his ground boy

Treat you right like the way he was raised
A little yes ma’am, a little John Wayne

Like something from the movies
Faded leather and some blue jeans

But the real and genuine kind
The one you keep around ‘cause he’s hard to find

There’s nothing like a cowboy

Hawthorn has shown impressive musical range in his releases. He came out in 2019 with the romantic, through-back ballad “Dancing in the Living Room,” and then followed that up throwing down some line dancing in his red-hot “Oh Hot Damn!

Since then, he’s continued to deliver his classic style of country music from a straight-up, unabashedly gay perspective. I definitely like.

Back in October 2020, Hawthorn appeared as a guest on my podcast to talk about his music, coming out and more. You can listen to our chat and more of his music here.
