KFJC's Austin Space space is doing his annual "(Ghost) Riders in the
Sky" special this Saturday 6 pm to 12 midinght. One again, I have been
asked to sit in, and so it will be.
Much like "Louie Louie," Stan Jones' cowboy epic "(Ghost) Riders in the
Sky" has been recorded in amny styles and with varying success. Mr.
Space has been coolecting ghosties for a long time, and with close to a
thousand, there are plenty of off-beat and curious versions to be
heard, as well as tried and true clasics, plus the original and more.
It's always fun, never tedious, and full of surprises. Imagine Tom
Jones and hip hop coexisting.
