La recomendación de la semana....
En esta ocasión me gustaría compartirles una súper rolita de 1949, escrita por Stan Jones.... su nombre: "Ghost Riders In The Sky", una canción que hasta en los comerciales de Hermanos Vásquez aparecía (así que sí se deben de acordar de ella).... lo que me sorprendió fue encontrar la gran cantidad de versiones que hay, con voz e instrumentles, y realmente unas son simplemente buenísimas.... en las instrumentales desde The Ventures y Dick Dale hasta una de REM, pasando por Duane Eddy y The Shadows.... con letra tenemos la de Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers (la versión más antigua), o las de Peggy Lee y Vaughn Monroe (según los expertos el que la hizo popular).... pero bueno acá les dejo el link pa' que las bajen y la letra pa' que la canten:
Ghost Riders In The Sky
Stan Jones, 1949
An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed cows he saw
A'plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in the sky
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns wuz black and shiny and their hot breaths he could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
For he saw the riders comin' hard and he heard their mournful cry
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, and shirts all soaked with sweat
They're ridin' hard to catch that herd but they ain't caught them yet
They've got to ride forever in that range up in the sky
On horses snortin' fire, as they ride on, hear their cry
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in the sky
As the riders loped on by him, he heard one call his name
"If you want to save your soul from hell a' ridin' on our range"
"Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride"
"A-tryin' to catch the Devil's herd across these endless skies."
Yi-pi-yi-ay, Yi-pi-yi-o
Ghost riders in the sky
