dbo:abstract
  • Riders in the Sky ist eine amerikanische Western-Music-Band, deren Musik in der Tradition der Singenden Cowboys der 30er und 40er Jahre, insbesondere der Band Sons of the Pioneers verwurzelt ist. Die Band singt sowohl klassisches Cowboy-Material als auch eigene Kompositionen, die sich oft durch eine große Portion Humor auszeichnen, ohne allerdings das Genre ins Lächerliche zu ziehen. Entsprechend ihrem musikalischen Erbe ist ihr Stil durch mehrstimmigen Harmoniegesang und ausgefeilte Jodler geprägt. (de)
