The Outlaws..................................Ghost Riders in the Sky
Ghost Riders was written by Stan Jones in 1948. It was first recorded by Burl Ives in February of 1949. In March of 1949 Vaughn Monroe recorded it. A month later his version hit #1 on the Billboard Charts. The song has been recorded by more than fifty different artists. Some of the better known ones include Bing Crosby, Peggy Lee, Spike Jones, Elvis, The Brothers Four, Johnny Cash, and my favorite - The Outlaws.

Hughie Thomasson was one of my favorite guitarist of the time When I was doing my music posts last night, I was listening to Hurry Sundown and almost put it up. I was greatly saddened to hear of Hughies death back in 2007. (seems like yesterday).
