Yeah, The Dead used to perform this song a lot back in the day. I heard their version a long time before I heard Haggard's original. Merle Haggard did it very well though. Here's The Grateful Dead doing it...................

Yeah, it's funny that they decided to pay tribute to a song, written by the guy who was the very antithesis of a hippie. Haggard made it very clear that he was the antithesis of a hippie in his song "Okie From Muskogee"......................

Anyone know who first recorded "Riders In The Sky"? Burl Ives on February 17, 1949. I like his version even better than Cash's version. Burl's is creepier and more ominous sounding. Check it out.....................

I love Merle's version.
Its incredible the amount of old-school country music that I have because of the Dead...

Here is the oldest version I have. Im not sure when it was made, but I like it better than Cash's as well. Check it out.
I like the song, though it is quite hickish. Thx for your upload, I look forward to hearing it in a few minutes.

I like the version you uploaded, its sounds kind of irish. Less hillbilly than the version I uploaded. Its wierd hearing it without background singers though.
Here is the wikipedia entry for the song, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riders_in_the_Sky:_A_Cowboy_Legend
Says that it was written in 48, so yours is probably one of the oldest. It also says its regarded as one of the greatest country songs ever.
Some more good old country.... Im sure most of you are old and in the way fans, here is the original version of muleskinner blues if you dont already have. Its by the founder of country music, Jimmie Rodgers.

Thanks. I liked that version, DC. The Burl Ives version is definitely the first though. It's on that wikipedia page that you posted................
Quote:
The original version, by Burl Ives, was recorded on February 17, 1949 and released by Columbia Records as catalog number 38445. The recording first appeared on the Billboard charts on April 22, 1949, lasting 6 weeks and peaking at position #21.
I'll check out the other song that you posted tonight after work. Thanks.
