Title: Ghost Riders in the Sky (By TDS and the Cosmicwx Orchestra)
Post by: cosmicwxdude on June 29, 2014, 03:51:13 PM

I've always liked this song and it's various versions.  I recorded this one with a raw and raunchy guitar tone, dual octave vocals and some ghostly keyboard voices to give it that ethereal feel.  Vocals are a little down in the mix but just a bit.  Full band.    Thanks to all that have a listen.

One of my favorite Cash songs (I know he didn't write it). I love your cover. The vocals definitely need to be upped, though.

Thanks Metal-Junkie.  I appreciate it.   I plan on remixing this and elevating the vocals a bit more.     I actually wrote an original entitled 'The West'  which is kind of in the same vein/genre as this song,  but certainly not a copy or a ripoff and am in the process of re-recording that one with full band.   It's an instrumental but I have a melodic line that runs through it and will attempt to write some lyrics for that one and will post here when I do. Writing lyrics is not a simple task but I try and write them without too much cheese or cliche'.     'The West'  is rather cinematic and I look forward to getting that one completed. Thanks again!  :metal
