By your first cd it sounds like your a bit of a Bluesman, and BB King and Friends fan. :D :D

What about the track with Heavy D, I thought Blues and Rap mixed well.

You forgot to mention, some members of Squeeze on track two, Van Morrison on track four, the Rolling Stones on track five, and it was Paul Carrick (Squeeze) was on track nine.

I have to admit though B B is the main man, not forgetting Lucille ;) ;)

Is this the old one that was on the original 78's (Ghost Riders in the Sky by the Outlaws) or a cover. My parents had it and it was the best record in their collection. My dad didn't let us listen to the good music on Caroline, Luxemburge e.t.c. Spent hours trying to tune them in.

Thanks for the correction. ;) You must be a BB fan also as you are quite knowledgeable on his songs.

It is the name of the song. I don't remember the name of the album although it is sitting in a box along with my other albums in the basement.

Lyrics:

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

A plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw.

Yipie i ay Yipie i oh

Ghost herd in the sky

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

He saw the riders coming hard... and he heard their mournful cry

Yipie i ay Yipie i oh

Ghost riders in the sky.

Their face is gaunt their eyes were blurred their shirts all soaked

with sweat

They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they 'aint caught 'em yet

'cause they've got to ride forever in the range up in the sky

On horses snorting fire as they ride hard hear them cry

Yipie i ay Yipie i oh

Ghost riders in the sky.

The riders leaned on by him he heard one call his name

If you want to save your soul from hell a riding on our range

Then cow-boy change your ways today or with us you will ride

Tryin' to catch this devil herd.... a-cross these endless

skies.

Yipie i ay Yipie i oh

Ghost riders in the sky.

Ghost riders in the sky.

Ghost riders in the sky.

The Outlaws - Ghost Riders in the Sky is a good version, though I much prefer The Outlaws - Green Grass and High Tides.

Other good versions of grits are by: The Ventures, Jet Harris & Tony Meehan, and not forgetting d*** Dale, and James Burton.

Quote DW "You must be a BB fan also as you are quite knowledgeable on his songs."

I have been addicted to "good music" since my mid teens, a few years ago now, when i used to see all the blues artists in the west end of London, including Howling Wolf, John Lee Hooker, BB King to mention a few. I used to drink with Eric Burdon "Animals" just over the road from one of the clubs when he was on. The Stones were good live too, but that was before they were famous. I also saw Rod Stewart when he was an unknown stand in singer to the Small Faces at a pub in Stepney. :lol:

I think the best talent was in the East End pubs though.

Nice selection of music there Deuces. Love "Ghost riders..." one of my favs...." :)

What did you think of the movie by the way? I watched War of the Worlds on DVD couple of nights back and very disappointed. :(

I agree. The special effects and sound were impressive.....the story line not so impressive.

My wife and daughter liked it though.
