My Swiss cheese memory occasionally surprises me by turning up a little useless nugget of info amidst all those empty holes. A good example would be what happened today when I ran across an old song, "I'm an Old Cowhand (From the Rio Grande)." It was written by Johnny Mercer for a 1936 Bing Crosby movie titled Rhythm on the Range , and the lyrics comically describe a cowboy who is anything but a traditional cowhand - in fact, he 'rides the range in a Ford V-82. You can see a scene [...]
Not sure what I was thinking when I planned to write and post this week's feature from the midst of a Disney World vacation. Though we're spending the week a wonderful house in a gated community just off site, instead of quiet nights by the pool, we've been dropping early, utterly exhausted after nine-hour days in the parks and dinner in one or another of Downtown Disney's famous upscale restaurants. To be fair, we've made the most of our time in the Mouse House. Having an event planner for a [...]
I was again digging through old pictures and I found one of myself as a toddler with a daredevil streak. I was posing for the photo while precariously balanced on the spout of a water pump located near my maternal grandparents' house. They lived on the outskirts of a country village, and the pump was in a spot between their house and a neighbor's. It had probably been dug as a joint project and for years was the main source of fresh water for drinking and cooking. (There was a rainwater barrel located at the rear of the house to [...]
For most listeners, yodeling is something that causes one of two reactions. Either they make fun of it, or they scratch their heads in puzzlement. Those who laugh will probably always find yodeling silly, but as for the latter - those who just don't understand it - maybe I can help. Thoughts of yodeling came bubbling to the surface of my mind recently - not unlike a LaBrea tar pit occurrence - when I was listening to a Riders In The Sky album. For those who might not be familiar with the group, it's [...]
If it hadn't happened to you before now, and if you went anywhere at all today, you experienced your first assault for this year of Christmas music. Now, some of the best music of any kind ever written was written for or about Christmas, but, for the most part, that's not what you heard. You heard grotesquely overproduced versions of familiar carols. You heard original songs that were corny/ maudlin beyond belief. And you heard arrangements of familiar holiday fare that were beyond ill-advised. And, if you were lucky, amidst the dross, you heard a tune or two you actually [...]
Though my father hasn't missed it in decades, I haven't been able to attend the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival since I started teaching over a decade ago -- something about the way a last gasp of hunker-down-and-teach takes over public education as we approach state testing, and the long downhill slide toward the end of the school year. But every year as we hit the last weekend in April my mind begins to muse upon the great acts I saw down there the few years I made it: Los Lobos, the Indigo Girls, Taj [...]
I figured it would be fitting to end our contest week with a theme that would help us transition back from the countrified edge of folk. Thus: folk singers covering cowboy songs. Enjoy! Continuing our discussion from earlier this week: back when the world was acoustic, a guitar and a voice could travel a long way, from back porch to prairie campfire, and be different only by context, and the tone it lends. Since then, of course, our sense of genre has [...]
We debated about whether or not to publish an end of year list, but we couldn't resist. As we've both said before, Lonesome is a bit like a published version of the kind of chat we'd have anyway, so here we are to share it with you. So picture us all down the pub, (two pints of Guinness, please), and take this list as our way of asking "have you heard this?".

First of all, I love Riders in the Sky in a completely non-ironic way. Secondly, you should too. The first time I heard of them was when they brought the house down at the Katrina benefit at the Grand Ole Opry, so then imagine my delight when they popped up a few days later at Dollywood. Yep, those were good times on a good holiday. Riders In The Sky are completely charmingly, massively entertaining and have pretty much single-handedly revitalized the Western (as opposed to country and western) genre since they formed in 1977. They [...]

Let's Polka - An Accordion BlogRising "hats and shoulders" above other C&W ("Comedy and Western") acts, Riders in the Sky have been playing original and classic cowboy songs for more than thirty years. In the late 1980s, the group added accordionist Joey Miskulin ("The Cowpolka King"), known to many as the accordion prodigy who joined Frankie Yankovic's band when he was only thirteen. On this track, "An Old Fashioned Christmas Polka," Joey gets to mix the Riders' Western style with his polka roots. Riders in the Sky: An Old Fashioned Christmas Polka [...]
