Riders In The Sky: Christmas The Cowboy Way at Stoughton Opera House
Lest anyone think that a Christmas on the range is all baked beans, lonely sleeping bags, and pathetically exchanging gifts with your hoofed friends, Riders In The Sky return with a holiday-tailored take on their Western harmonies. The quartet's been reviving the swinging two-steps, yodeling choruses, and harmony-filled ballads of the singing-cowboy era of the ’30s, ’40s, and ’50s for three decades now, keeping the sound both authentic and comical. Their Christmas albums—1992' Merry Christmas From The Harmony Ranch and 1999's Christmas The Cowboy Way—include such standards as "White Christmas" and "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer," but also plenty of trail-friendly twists like "Sidemeat's Christmas Stew," so expect a similar mix here.
