Ballad of America

Ghost Riders in the Sky: About the Song

“Ghost Riders in the Sky” was written in 1948 by American songwriter Stan Jones. The song is a cautionary tale warning a cowboy that if he doesn’t change his ways, he will one day join the damned cowboys doomed to try to “catch the Devil’s herd across these endless skies.” Jones said that an old cowboy friend told him that story when he was 12 years old. The song was a hit for many artists, including The Outlaws, Vaughn Monroe, Bing Crosby, Frankie Lane, Johnny Cash, Burl Ives, and Marty Robbins.

chorus: Yippee-I-aye Yippee-I-o Ghost riders in the sky

verses: An old cowpoke went ridin’ 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 Plowin’ through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw

Their brands were still on fire and their hoofs 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 comin’ hard, and he heard their mournful cry

Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred their shirts all soaked with sweat They’re ridin’ hard to catch that herd, but they ain’t caught ’em yet ‘Cause they got to ride forever on that range up in the sky On horses snorting fire – as they ride on hear their cry

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

• Ken from Philadelphia, Pa On June 20, 1980, I saw the Outlaws with 100,000 others at old JFK Stadium in Philadelphia on a bill with .38 Special, Marshall Tucker Band, Molly Hatchett, and the Allmans. The early morning started with rain but, by the time .38 Special took the stage around noon, the sun was back and it was hot. JFK stadium was condemned and demolished less then 10 years later and it was definitely a dinosaur even then with just an endless expanse of concrete and bench seats exposed to the sun and not nearly enough cover or facilities for a fraction of the 100,000 who were there. As a result, 100,000 of us spent the afternoon positively baking under that sun and humidity that was (seemingly) at least 1,000%. The Outlaws were the last band up probably around 5 pm, and the crowd was wilted by then. We were doing our best, but the sun and the heat and humidity had gotten the best of us. Then, a miracle slowly began to unfold. The sky started to darken. The sun was quickly blotted out and a relatively cool breeze blew across the crowd. We were already used up by the heat, but this sure helped the crowd get a bit of their mojo back. The band was in top form which helped even more. They ran through a scorching set and as the band left the stage and through the interlude before the encore, the wind picked up, cooling things off even more, and giving us even more of our mojo back. We could now also hear thunder rumbling and see lightning flashes, which only made the newly energized crowd even more raucous. The band finally returned for the encore and the crowd exploded. Then, the coolest thing ever happened. Literally the second they strummed the first chords of “Ghost Riders...”, the heavens opened up and a wonderful cooling rain drenched us all. Five hours of the hot sun sucking the life out of disappeared in an instant. The band ripped through an white hot version of this song, while 100,000 fan, intoxicated by the cooling rain and amazing music coming out the PA, stood raptly... Nobody cheered. Nobody chanted. Nobody much cared that we were soaking wet and probably about to get struck by lightning. We just watched and listened and enjoyed. It was.. as a local DJ later described... downright religious. When the song was over, it was like we were completely renewed. I thought the cheering at the end of the song was so loud and so long I thought it was going the bring the stadium down like the walls of Jericho. Amazing day. Amazing song. Amazing band.
• Barry from Sauquoit, Ny On February 8th 1961, the Ramrods performed an instrumental covered version of "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky" on the ABC-TV program 'American Bandstand'... At the time the song was at #55 on Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart; and a week later it peaked at #30 {for 1 week} and spent 9 weeks on the Top 100... It was the group's only Top 100 record... Later in 1961 on September 25th Lawrence Welk's version of the song would enter the Top 100 at #91; and for the next two weeks it would be at #87 and then would fall completely of the chart.
• Patrick from Bremen, Ga Spike Jones (best known for "Der Fuehrer's Face" and "Cocktails For Two") recorded a version that made fun of Vaughn Monroe's version. Marty Robbins also recorded a version I like because it's slower than others, and a bit haunting.
• Jorge from Bronx, Ny The Outlaws and Johhny Cash i have,Haven't heard the other version yet,but the movie sucked,lol
• Beck from Vancouver, Bc There is an awful cover done by a heavy metal group called "Cradle of Filth". The Canadian group, Captain Tractor, has a version w/alternate lyrics.
• Marcus from Columbus, Oh This was done first with Vaughn Monroe & covered by various groups & people. The Ramrods did a good instrutmental featuring sound effects with calls noises & mooing cattle. This is something to see if you are high or not. The equalivent of that is a Funeral Caravan and it's 2 miles long and one person in a car warns the onlooker to change his way or ends up being part of the funeral caravan. This is a classic tune. Marcus Brainard
• Norma from Signal Mt, Tn I was born in'43 and my earliest memories of this song were hearing my Uncles,The Bald Eagles (Hartman Brothers) sing a version that they got from the Sons of the pioneers.I could not have been more than 5 or 6 years old at the time.
• Barry from Sauquoit, Ny On May 14th, 1949 "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky" by Vaughn Monroe reached No. 1 and stayed in the top spot for 11 consecutive weeks!!! {NOTE: The actual offical named is: "{Ghost) Riders in the Sky: A Cowboy Legend"}
• Barry from Sauquoit, Ny The British band "The Shadows" have a great version of this song on You Tube!!!
• Shawn from Prescott, Az Johnny cash has the best version of the song.
• Slyar from Coolidge, Az I like willy nelson and jhonny cash do this song together.
• Lester from New York City, Ny The guy that sings this song the best is Vaughn Monroe
• Oldpink from New Castle, In The Outlaws did it well, but no one could better the Man in Black's eerie basso profundo vocals on his version.
• Charles from Rialto, Ca Deborah Harry of Blondie fame did this song for the movie 3 Businessmen in which I have the soundtrack to
• Heather from London, United Kingdom i loved this song ever since i watched ghost ridder me and my dad love it cher! <3
• Dave from Des Moines, Ia The Ramrods, a surf-instrumental band did a nice version of this song in the early 60's. It broke the top 40 but was not a huge hit. The surf bit actually adds a lot to the song as well as the synch sound effects
• Gerardo from Monterrey, Mexico The Cash's version is simply the best. I think that the main character was seduced by the dark side.
• Jon from Oakridge, Or Love Cashes version.
• Chris from Milford, Ct hughie left skynyrd and is now back on tour with the outlaws

The Real Meaning Behind (Ghost) Riders In The Sky

Country music could be said to be one of the more down-to-earth musical genres out there. As the Norton School for the Arts notes, the genre as we know it emerged in Appalachia in the early part of the 20th century, combining elements of Celtic folk music and local rhythms. In the beginning, much of the lyrical content was about the poverty-stricken and hardscrabble lives lived by the performers, and that was largely the case for the next several decades; there's even an old joke that says that if you play a country song backwards, your wife comes back to you, your dog comes back to life, your truck starts working again, etc. Even today, most country music sticks largely to that formula, with the performers singing about, say, partying on the lake or enjoying life in a small town.

Over the decades, a few writers have attempted to take country music in a more mystical direction. For example, back in the 1970s, as Performing Songwriter reports, songwriter Jimmy Webb wrote a mystical country song about a human soul manifesting at various points in history. A few years later the song became a mega-hit when it was recorded by Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, and Kris Kristofferson.

A few decades earlier, another country songwriter took the genre in a mystical direction. And, Johnny Cash's recording of "(Ghost) Riders In The Sky" may be the most well-known version of that particular song.

Writing Ghost Riders In The Sky

As mentioned above, country music can trace some of its roots back to Europe; at least, musically if not lyrically. In the case of "Ghost Riders In The Sky," however, the songwriter was probably influenced by European legend.

As EsoterX notes, legends abound in parts of Europe — in particular what is now Germany, France, and parts of the British Isles — about the so-called "wild hunt." In this myth, a ghostly team of mounted riders on horseback thunder across the sky in pursuit of their quarry. In some versions, it's a portent of doom; in some, it's an actual danger in which the unwary can be swept up by the ghostly cavalcade; in others, it's both.

Fast forward a few centuries to the Old West in America, where there are wide open spaces, mounted horsemen pursuing their quarry in spades, constant danger (from stampedes, hostile enemies, disease, etc.), and long nights with little to do but tell tall tales over the campfire. It was a perfect stew of superstition that led to the legend being carried over here, with a quintessentially American twist.

And, a century or so later, a songwriter named Stan Jones remembered an old cowboy telling him the tale when he (Jones) was a young boy. So, he decided to pen a song.

A Morality Tale

Back in the 1920s or thereabouts, a young lad named Stan Jones happened to be in one of the most quintessential Old West parts of the country: the Cochise Ranch, in rural Southern Arizona. One day, according to the Arizona Republic , "a kid from town," as he was described by the newspaper, watched as a thunderstorm was getting ready to roll through. An "old cowboy," as EsoterX describes it, warned him to watch for the glowing red eyes of the Devil's cavalry, effectively teaching the young songwriter the American Old West version of the ancient European "Wild Hunt" legend. Fast forward to 1948, and Jones remembered the incident and penned the song, "Ghost Riders In The Sky."

Jones' song differs from the legend in that, in this context, it's less of a portent of doom and more of a morality tale. As noted by AZ Lyrics , a ghostly rider warns a cowboy to change his ways, lest he join the damned cowboys thundering across the sky. "If you wanna save your soul from Hell a-riding on our range, Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride," the warning reads. In 1949, Burl Ives  (above) recorded the song, and it became a smash hit.

The Johnny Cash Version

Burl Ives, now largely remembered for voicing Sam the Snowman in the Christmas classic "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer,"  recorded a hugely-successful version of Jones' "Ghost Riders In The Sky," but he was not the first to do so, nor would he be the last. Jones himself also recorded a version , along with a backup group, the Death Valley Singers. Crooner Vaughn Moore recorded a version that went to number one, according to Daily Music Break . According to Wide Open Country , multiple other artists (including Finnish metal band Children of Bodom) also recorded their own versions of the song, with varying degrees of success.

However, the most well-known version of the song may be Johnny Cash's rendition , which never made number one, according to Billboard, but did manage to spend 16 weeks at number two in 1979. But, regardless of the multiple versions from multiple artists across multiple genres, the song is, at the end of the day, a country staple. So much so, that Western Writers of America has deemed the song the number one Western song of all time.

Ghost Rider

Vlad Krivoshein

I don't know where my music come from. I just do. Booking Worldwide : [email protected] Booking Germany : [email protected] Brazil : [email protected] Ghost Rider’s music (Vlad Krivoshein) feels like being sucked into a huge particle accelerator where elements from the worlds of Progressive Trance and Psytrance collide. Emitting high amounts of energy, they merge into something new, an enigmatic reaction that opens wormholes all over the dance floor. It's this innovative fusion of deeply hypnotic atmospheres and light, uplifting grooves that make Ghost Rider an instant success as can be seen with his first EP, which was released on Iboga Rec in 2012. Only one year later Ghost Rider was invited to perform his highly demanded debut album Complextro live, at major festivals all around the world. His performances encompass the most acclaimed dance parties in the world's including A State Of Trance (ASOT) (Netherlands) , Universo Paralello (Brazil) , XXXPERIENCE (Brazil) , Airbeat One (Germany) and many more .. Vlad began producing music at the young age of 14, a factor that explains his outstanding technical precision. Whereas his up-lifting Psytrance project Magneto explains his great knowledge of the mechanics of mind-alerting dance music. As can be seen from his background, it is no surprise that Ghost Rider is also one half of Class A, a project spearheads along with Ranji, Ghost Rider has collaborated with many acclaimed artists such as Neelix, Morten Granau, Phaxe and more.
