With 28-plus years and well over 5,000 performances and counting under their collective cowboy belt, Riders In The Sky, the two time Grammy-Award-Winning Western music group will present a program of some of your favorite cowboy songs. How about these? Tumblin' Tumbleweeds, Cool Water, Ghost Riders in the Sky, Back in the Saddle Again, Rawhide and Happy Trails to mention only a few.
Indeed, the Riders-Ranger Doug (Idol of American Youth), Woody Paul (King of the Cowboy Fiddlers), Too Slim (a Righteous Tater), and Joey (the CowPolka King)-have single-handedly revived and revitalized an entire music genre since they formed in 1977. Riders In The Sky have become the world's premier Western recording and touring band.
Foremost on their list of achievements are their Grammy Albums: "Woody's Roundup featuring Riders In The Sky" was a "companion album" for the soundtrack of the 1999 Walt Disney animated classic "Toy Story 2" which contained their delightful version of "Woody's Roundup." The album won the Grammy for Best Musical Album for Children in 2001, an honor the Riders received again two years later for the release of "Monster's Inc.-Scream Factory Favorites," another animated film classic musical tie-in.
