Yeah... def Matt "Country" Morgan on lead vocals. Sufjan with the signature banjo and backup vocals, and it's pretty clear he composed the instrumentals.
As for lyrics, who the hell knows lol. Sufjan is fairly difficult to decipher a lot of the time, and it looks like his buddies follow suit.

I always think the first line says "Master Chief begins to rise."

i love this song, but why are lyrics for it impossible to find?
-
I wonder if it is about The Beast and Kings Island. The "Fred and Barney" reference makes sense. There is a children's area called "Hanna Barbara Land" with characters from the Flintstones, Jetsons, etc.
I grew up five minutes from Kings Island so it would be kind of cool if this song is really about it. I couldn't wait until I was tall enough to ride The Beast, and every ride there for that matter.
Good times.

whoops, matt morgan's already been mentioned. right. anyway. yeah. not sufjan.
-
according to my ears and the liner notes, matt morgan sings lead on "we're going to the country." not suf. this is most definitely fo-sho not the sufjan singing, my friend.
-
Yeah, that is definately NOT sufjan. Come on. It doesn't even remotely sound like him.
OK then let us settle it once and for all - a google search has confirmed that it IS a sufjan stevens song, but it seems that he himself isn't providing lead vocals (Matt 'Country' Morgan is). Let the madness end here.

I'm guessing this song is actually sung by a man named Matt Morgan, he sang "going to the country" on sufjans christmas album, so this is probably another sufjan/matt colaboration. It's great either way though.

well well well, i never knew about this matt morgan guy - i might have to change my stance on this all... a collaboration sounds about right, 'cos no-one else could have done the music to this than sufjan!

For all the doubters, just google 'Sufjan Stevens Ride the Woodbeast' to find proof that it is him. The mp3 lists speak for themselves.

I stick by my original conviction: I've just listened to it back to back with "We're going to the country" and it's the same voice as on that. I just happen to think he can vary his voice from time to time.
