‘Cowboy Music’ is the 14th track on George Harrison’s debut solo album Wonderwall Music.
The instrumental track was loosely based on the Christmas carol ‘Silent Night’, albeit arranged to sound like it belongs in a Western.
The US pressing of Wonderwall Music erroneously listed the title as ‘Cowboy Museum’.
Excerpts from ‘Cowboy Music’, ‘Ski-ing’, and ‘Wonderwall To Be Here’ appeared in the soundtrack of Apple, a promotional film production produced by Tony Bramwell in 1968.
