"Ghost Riders In The Sky" acoustic cocver by Soonka and Devin @countryguitaronline
This song was originally written by Stan Jones and was a hit for many artists, including The Outlaws, Vaughn Monroe, Bing Crosby, Frankie Lane, Johnny Cash, Burl Ives, and Marty Robbins.
I was inspired to cover this song after meeting an 84-year-old cowboy named Mr. Arizona in Tombstone, AZ who was playing cowboy songs (covers and originals, including this one which I posted a video of) on his vintage martin. We loved it so much, we stood there for hours listening to him. We became friends and he let me play his guitar and sing a few songs while he accompanied me on his fiddle. We had a blast and the experience was so moving, I wrote him a letter after getting back to Texas (since he doesn’t do technology) and turned that into a song called Dear Mr. Arizona, which will be posted soon. For me, Ghost Riders In The Sky is another tribute to Mr. Arizona, who changed my life and is now one of my great musical influences.
