Taught By Riders in the Sky.
All Levels
60-minute DVD or VHS, Includes music and lyrics

Sing along with Riders in the Sky as they pass along a magnificent American vocal music tradition. In the lighthearted, humorous manner that has endeared them to millions of fans, Ranger Doug, Too Slim and Woody Paul, with the help of Joey (“the Cowpolka King”) Miskulin, show you how to sing your favorite cowboy, folk and country songs in beautiful three- and four-part harmony.

The Riders break down their well-honed vocal arrangements of some of the greatest songs of the genre: Red River Valley, Tumbling Tumbleweed, Cool Water and Home On The Range. They teach the melody, and then add the tenor/soprano and baritone/alto lines individually. Singing each song several times, they omit each part so you can add your harmony along with the group. This enjoyable interactive method will teach you all the elements of an arrangement and prepare you to carry your own harmony when you join in with your friends and singing partners.

As Ranger Doug will tell you, “It’s the cowboy way.”

“What makes this act work is the mix of note-perfect harmonies and off-center humor.” --USA Today
