Arguing that the well-known cowboy ballad “The Streets of Laredo†is an early expression of “discontent with an encroaching modernity,†author José E. Limón draws upon ethnomusicology, folklore, history, contemporary literature, and other sources to provide a deeply contextualized analysis of the song.
