What I'm talkin' 'bout.  Not the original, but a damn fine version.  The original is "Godlike", this one an 8 to 9.

The Burl Ives version was a soundtrack to my early childhood. It must have got a lot of airplay in the UK - I used to tear around on my tricycle, cowboy hat on, Colt 45 at my hip and Winchester slung over my shoulder,  with this going round in my head.

Interesting genesis http://www.westernmusic.com/performers/hof-jones-stan.html

I think I prefer the Peggy Lee cover to Cash.

Did Stan Jones REALLY write this?  Or did he have a "ghost writer in this guy"?

"Yippie-Ki-Yay MF". To quote one of best lines from Bruce Willis in the movie Diehard. And then there's the varation, Yippie-yi-yo-ki-yay, from "I'm an Old Cowhand", performed by one of my favorite groups, Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks, which same song was also recorded by Frank Sinatra.

Hahhaha, my son and I went to see the new "Ghost Rider - Spirit of Vengeance" movie last night. I have to admit I am a comic book geek and I just had to.

Can't recommend it but the "Ghost Rider" effects were pretty cool.

Ghost Riders (In the Sky) - Willie Nelson & Johnny Cash:

"They sing a great duet!!! i grew up on Johnny Cash's music,, my unlces played his songs all the time, as they sit and drink a beer lol. First songs I remember is "I walk the line", & The Ring of Fire"...Now Johnny is in Heaven with all the other great musicians, sitting there, playing their guitars singing their songs. Rest in Peace!"     yvonnejm51

Johnny's life would rarely be described as a life well lived.  Watch the movie, you'll understand.
