Hank C. Burnette - "(Ghost) Riders In The Sky"

[2112ofRUSH]

Soundtrack of the wild west ... :-)

[MrEdgarjuan]

in my opinion,this is a great rendition to a great song.each artist has to feel their own soul in their work.this happens to be my favorite country and western song.again,you did honor to this song.thanks.

[1wulffen]

friggin great!

[peterwardsack]

Sooooo fine, very thanks for this version, oh the Steel- Guitars on the best!!

Greatest thanks from Berlin,

Peter

The supernatural theme of Ghost Riders in The Sky asks for reverb. The Burl Ives acoustic version is great in its simplicity but the twang of the electric guitar transforms me.  Your renditon tops them all and I come away feeling that you've filled in the missing parts.

[bobtequilla]

great stuff! 

[QbrianT]

Love the effects... and the playing. Damn that's one stormy night!!

Regards,

Brian

[BradBrassman]

Have you posted "Spinning Rock Boogie" yet? It was a favourite of mine from the 80's.

[mts192]

Så fantastiskt bra och lite Spotnicksriff är alltid välkommet.

mvh

Why can't there be peace in the valley...

[tuguybear]

You play really well dude.But Ramrods own that tune.

[djfisher3]

Good stuff Hank. I've been an alto sax player since 1959 and have never caught a break to save my life. Unfortunately today is the first day I'm hearing you. But when you do it for the art you don't really care about what society says, correct?

[onemikehart]

Duane Eddy, will Headline "the Deke Dickerson Guitar Geek Festival" January 16, 2010. The event will be held at the Plaza Hotel in Anaheim, Ca.

[charliedehaven]

Cheers for this one, Hank. Used to play this with Stirling Silver way back! I was always crap at lead tho so didn't sound as good as this. Weather here sounds like ours tonight!

[onemikehart]

I wonder if..".The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame' and "The Musicians Hall Of Fame" are aware that they have inducted the wrong man ? perhaps you could inform them of this error...if you have the time .

[burnette44]

FOR CHRIST SAKE....get a life, man! At 65 you should know better than to waste your time nagging about something that you obviously don't know a thing about! Look through the annals of R&RHOF and be amazed over the fact that they have inducted JONI MITCHELL into their ranks before they even discovered that someone named Gene Vincent had been dismissed!! Britney Spears anyone? 'Nuff said...Now, can I PLEASE be allowed to get back to what I do best...makin' music? Thank you!!!! Hank C

[onemikehart]

I guess that you wont be in line for the new Duane Eddy CD. It's called "Artifacts Of Twang" and Brian Setzer joined Duane on "That's The wat It Was When We Started To Rock And Roll".

[burnette44]

You're absolutely right!! I've got enough work lined up for myself cutting and producing my own stuff on a myriad of labels all over the planet (to complement my already 80+ discography, incl. the only record released on the Legendary SUN label by a European!!) to be able to get involved in any pastime revival stuff! All credits to Duane but he's simply not my cup of tea when it comes to breathtaking fretboard gymnastics, or down-to-earth RED HOT rock'n roll for that matter!! 'Nuff said...Hank C

[onemikehart]

I would love to hear Duane Eddy ,in concert... do all of the songs by all of the people who have imitated him since 1958. That incudes this one.

[burnette44]

OOOPS...IMITATED???? Either you've dropped your hearing aids and need to put 'em back in at full blast, or need to get an instant training course in guitar music!! I fronted my first band at 13 in '58 and have stubbornly stayed away from ANY copy cat stuff ever since, not to mention that I've never been a particular fan of D.E. (his Travis stuff is quite amazing though!). It's such a doggone shame that he's wasted time on stuff like "Rebel Rouser", "Peter Gunn" and what have ya, really! Hank C.

[WilliamGruff]

@burnette44: LMFAO @ 'IMITATED'! Although I do like Duane Eddy's Peter Gunn I'd say that he can't hold a candle to your playing. No one can make a guitar work quite as well as you where rockabilly is concerned, and you can sing as well. Unbelievable. Thanks for the pleasure you've given me, I can never repay the debt.

[sammiespal1]

Good music rendition and fantastic lightning stills! The music is a little hard to follow because of the multiple reverberations......overkill!! Wonder if an easy fadeout in place of the reverbs wouldn't be easier and more dramatic to listen to?...might allow the music to work on the listener,s mind and emotions. As it is, the thought /emotion process is interupted by the reverbs......kinda like trying to get into a song when the vocalist goes out of tune at the end of each stanza.

[burnette44]

Sorry, mate, but there's hardly no reverb at all on this one!! What you probably mistake for reverb is the rumble of thunder and horses hoofs here and there throughout the entire track, plus the constant adding of pouring rain (listen at the end and you'll see what I mean!), which in fact, now that you say it, can easily be mistaken for quite heavy reverb!

And, just so you know, I'm not a big fan of reverb anyway, but gimme an old analog tape echo any day!! Hank C...

[sammiespal1]

Thanks for the reply, Hank. When I turned up the volume this time, I could here the background thunder/horses/rain distinction. Love the deep base in this production.

[djfisher3]

@sammiespal1 Bass not base.

[BEATNIKCASS]

have you got this one with a vocal??

[juliosergio113]

Excellent Hank¡¡¡

[chalabre11]

excellent!sublime!

[rosietroy]

What a great piece of work, with so much atmosphere conjured up by the added sounds, to the guitar playing, of horses, storms etc. And what fantastic photos. A brilliant piece of work . Thank you for creating such a masterpiece.

[detectivelover]

Wow! Excellent as always! A real treat. Thank you!

[androclestipster]

I've always loved this song. What an awesome job you did on this my friend. Thank you for sharing it with me.

[RockabillyHotdog]

The second favorite song from you, Hank!! The absolute best one you ever made is Red cadillac and a black moustache! I wish you could share it here on Youtube.

But this track is just amazing! * * * * *

[VivaPuluba]

Don't forget "Over the rainbow". A great one!

;)

[RockabillyHotdog]

Yes of course!!!! :) Or it's very hard to say which song that's best.. All of Hank's tracks are just awsome!!

[allshookup77]

Fantastic song and video Hank! You did a super job on this production! Loved the horses and thunder throughout the song! Excellent guitar playing on this classic cowboy song, it sounded great! Enjoyed it... FrAnK (★★★★★)
