Neil LeVang's Ghost Riders In The Sky
"Ghost Riders in the Sky" is a classic Western song first written by Stan Jones in 1948. It has been covered by many artists, including Johnny Cash, Marty Robbins, The Outlaws, and Neil LeVang.
Neil LeVang's version is best known for its distinctive instrumental guitar arrangement. A talented guitarist who often performed on the Lawrence Welk Show, LeVang put his own spin on the twangy country and surf rock guitar technique, making his version so catchy and memorable.
The song itself is about a cowboy who sees ghost riders in the sky, a reminder of the fate of those who live with sin and must atone for it forever.
