Album: Riders in the Sky Salute Roy Rogers: King of the Cowboys
Label: Riders Radio Records
Release date: Feb. 26, 2016
Longtime country music veterans and frequent Grand Ole Opry performers Riders in the Sky release a new album later this month and it's a dedication to one of the great Country Music Hall of Famers of all time. They salute iconic western movie, music and TV star Roy Rogers, the undisputed King of the Cowboys. The project features family-friendly favorites from Roy's long career that include "Don't Fence Me In," "Pecos Bill," "Happy Trails" and more wrapped up in the Riders' two-time Grammy-winning high yodeling style.
Riders in the Sky is made up of lead singer/guitarist Ranger Doug (Douglas B. Green), singer/fiddler Woody Paul (Paul Chrisman), singer/bassist Too Slim (Fred LaBour) and Joey the Cowpolka King (Joey Miskulin) on accordion. They usually introduce themselves as "Ranger Doug, The Idol of American Youth", "Woody Paul, the King of the Cowboy Fiddlers", "Too Slim, the Man of a Thousand Hats" and "Joey, the Cowpolka King".
