With more than 30 years of great entertainment "the cowboy way" under their belts, Riders In The Sky roll on with their mix of Western song classics and zany cowpoke send-ups. This holiday season they're on tour with what we're sure will be a one-of-a-kind program of cowboy Christmas music. What sometimes gets overlooked amid the hilarity is that Ranger Doug (Idol of American Youth), Woody Paul (King of the Cowboy Fiddlers), Joey (the Cowpolka King), and Too Slim (Licensed Driver) are matchless musicians, with a huge and growing stock of old and new songs to draw on as they deepen a great American tradition. And can Toby Keith do rope tricks on stage? Ranger Doug was an Ann Arborite once upon a time, and the group's Ark shows have been uniformly terrific.
