Re: [MBZ] OT Chicken Attack

BTO is good stuff.  I don't recall hearing that one before!   Sounds like they had been listening to Mason Proffit.   Mason Profit blended western, bluegrass, and rock with some blues thrown in for goog measure.   They never reached big label stardom, but were a #1 regional/underground band.

Re: [MBZ] OT Chicken Attack

That article says Stan Jones wrote it and recorded it in late 1948 or early 1949, and everybody else recorded it in 1949. But Wiki isn't always accurate. BTW, this is what happens when my childhood Rock and Roll hero, Randy Bachman, decides to record a western song:

Looks like Burl recorded it a month before Vaughn, but Burl only made it as high as #21. Nothing mentioned about a throat injury that I can find. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/(Ghost)_Riders_in_the_Sky:_A_Cowboy_Legend I like Marty Robbins' "The legend of El Roho"  best! archer75--- via

Re: [MBZ] OT Chicken Attack

Vaughn Monroe was number one on the charts for singing Riders in the Sky in 1948. Burl Ives singles list and chart rating doesn't show Riders in the Sky, but he probably sang it since he tried nearly every popular song that came along. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaughn_Monroe#Singles

Vaughn Monroe was first on the charts with it in 1948. He was the first to popularize it and the first to sing it on radio IIRC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaughn_Monroe#Singles Gerry On Sun, 22 Dec 2019 20:08:47 -0500 (EST) Mitch Haley via Mercedes wrote: > > The first time was when

ROFL! He parodied a lot of popular songs back then. "How much is that hound dog in the winder" (How much is that doggie in the window), etc. Gerry On Sun, 22 Dec 2019 18:49:55 -0600 "M. Mitchell Marmel via Mercedes" wrote: > I prefer the Spike Jones version: > >

The first time was when Hollywood commissioned Spiderbait to do a movie theme in 1947, or 2007, or something like that. ;-) In all seriousness, it's one of the few tunes that usually sets my pulse racing, 70 years later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OsgEdYjoqUI

Is it Burl Ives?   Red Sovine and Marty Robbins were my first thoughts.    I love Giddy up go and Phantom 309, and pretty much everything Marty ever did. Somebody in El paso said that now nobodyin ELPaso know who Marty Robbins is or "El Paso." When I couldn't sleep at night as a kid, I'd

Re: [MBZ] OT Chicken Attack

I'll bet no one here is old enough to remember the first singer who sang Ghost Riders in the Sky. Hint: He was a truck driver whose throat was injured in an accident. The injury have him a "new voice" which made him the most popular singer of the early post WW-2 era. Gerry On Sun, 22 Dec 2019

One of the most thrilling live songs I ever heard was the Sons of the Pioneers (on many 1950s westerns, especially the singing cowboy westerns) sing Ghost Riders. They were in the Rodeo arena. Mitch Haley via Mercedes December 22, 2019 at 10:15 AM There are
