Riders in the Sky help
Forgive my ignorance, but after witnessing Ranger Doug in Nashvegas at that Bill Monroe tribute I've been wishing I had some Riders in the Sky in my collection. Where to start? I looked through AMG to Country and half of the cd's listed at the CD NOW site aren't in it. I noticed also that the Best of the West, and Best of the West Rides Again are listed as having favorites from their first five Rounder releases. Am I missing them being different tracks or is this review incorrect? Also, AMG listed an album called Cowboys In Love that sounds right up my alley...is it out of print? Always Drink Upstream From The 1995 Best Of The West 1988 Best Of The West Rides Again Cowboy Jubilee Cowboy Songs Great Big Western Howdy From R 1998 Harmony Ranch 1991 Live New Trails Prairie Serenade 1982 Public Cowboy #1-Gene Autry 1996 Saddle Pals Three On The Trail 1980 Weeds Water Yodel The Cowboy Way Look forward to hearing the experts recommendations.

The Riders' stuff is pretty durn consistent, though as Jamie notes, they've acquired some additional polish over the years. I was on Riders Radio Theater a few years back, while they were recording the show at Cincinnati's Emery Theatre (a *great* sounding hall that may soon be renovated), with the Katie Laur Band; the other guest on our episode was the Cox Family, who kicked ass. The Riders are nice fellas all, and talented enough that one can even forgive the accordion they so wrongheadedly added a while ago.

Wasn't this Tumbleweed Theater on TNN? That's my recollection, too, but I'm not yet convinced it isn't a false memory implanted by the diabolical mistress of Twangin'. Jon Weisberger Kenton County, KY [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.fuse.net/jonweisberger/
Re: Riders in the Sky help
Oh yeah. I was in college in Cape Girardeau Missouri living in a dark damp riverside basement apartment. Spent my afternoons earing Chunky Beef out of cans, spitting tobacco and watching Ranger Doug, Woody Paul and Too Slim and old 30s westerns. God, Those were the days. Your Saddle Pal. chris -- Cheryl Cline wrote: Not to start another television thread, but... many years ago, when I was underemployed, I used to watch an afternoon Western movie show hosted by the Riders in the Sky, with skits before, during, and after the movie. It was fun. I particularly remember one time when they showed some old Western that took place in Hawaii (!) and Woody Paul dressed up in a grass skirt, wig, and silly glasses, and performed a hula-hula dance. It was the worst example of gender-bending I have ever seen. I also remember developing a heavy crush on Mr. Paul. Good thing I got a job. Oh, and later the program was hosted by Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, and by Gene Autry. None of them did skits, though. Anyone else remember this? --Cheryl
