I don't got no other cowboy art today, but I've got my man and my kid being cozy together.

Neil LeVang 🎶 Ghost Riders In The Sky

[harvestheart]

This version by Willie Nelson and Johnny Cash is a good listen.

So many fine versions have been performed of this song. Hard to choose the best, but the song was written in 1948 by Stan Jones who was born in Douglas, Arizona in 1914. That was two years after Arizona became the 48th State. Much folklore surrounds this song.

Whenever I hear it, I an transported to back to my day in the saddle on the Arizona mountain ranges.

Lyrics to Ghostriders in the Sky (Stan Jones, 1948)

An old cowboy went riding out one dark and windy day Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw A-plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky For he saw the Riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry

Yippie yi Ohhhhh Yippie yi yaaaaay

Ghost Riders in the sky

As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name If you want to save your soul from Hell a-riding on our range Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride Trying to catch the Devil's herd, across these endless skies

Yippie yi Ohhhhh Yippie yi Yaaaaay

Ok but the myths of the Flying Dutchman, Ghost riders, and the Wild Hunt are all the same thing! In this essay I will....

[haethealhell]

In Ghost Riders In The Sky, just after the riders show up, Geoff looks at them,

And immediately after, he starts moving his hands.

What am I getting at? Good question! Very good question! I think we should all take a moment to appreciate how good of a question that is!

MOJAVE, released on Eleven Thirty Records in 2004, was the last Concrete Blonde studio album, and while it's pretty uneven, it's worth it for its haunting, spectral cover of Stan Jones' 1948 country song "Ghost Riders in the Sky."
