Vaquero is the eleventh studio album by American country music artist Aaron Watson. The album includes the singles "Outta Style", which reached the top 10 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart and "Run Wild Horses".
Critical reception Rating it 4 out of 5 stars, AllMusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine stated that "Vaquero navigates the territory between tradition and modernity, sounding strong and open, never making concessions to pop but never adhering to a calcified notion of country, either."
Commercial performance Vaquero debuted at No. 2 on Billboards Top Country Albums, selling 37,000 copies (39,000 in album-equivalent units) in the first week, which is Watson's biggest sales week to date. The album has sold 68,800 copies in the United States as of March 2018.
