We're all here for Colm's dark/alternative country folk covers. More Poor Man's Poison and Johnny Cash! Seriously, what a perfect voice for some good old dark country. Especially with spooky season coming up 👀 And you'd also have people losing their minds if you started covering some Colter Wall songs, just sayin.

[@dragonwithamonocle]

Me! I'd be losing my mind!

Also, i know Colm does game music from time to time too- love to see Rise Up Dead Man from Hunt. that song is chills as it is- his voice would take it to a whole 'nother level.

I literally just asked ChatGPT about the similarities in music and WOW

[@zoeorchid]

@@RosheenQuynh What did it say?

[@RosheenQuynh]

@@zoeorchid I asked it this: "I've noticed some southern music (bluegrass and such) sounds an awful lot like some folk music in the UK and Ireland. Any relation? Like, did folks from the UK and Ireland bring it to the South or something? Cuz both parts use the banjo." And it replied: "There is indeed a connection between southern music like bluegrass and folk music from the UK and Ireland. Many of the early settlers in the American South were of Scottish and Irish descent, and they brought their musical traditions with them. These traditions, including the use of instruments like the banjo, fiddle, and guitar, influenced the development of southern music. Over time, these musical styles blended with African and African-American musical traditions, creating a unique fusion of sounds that became the basis for bluegrass, country, and other forms of American roots music. So, there's a definite historical connection between southern music and the folk music of the UK and Ireland, making them share some similarities in instrumentation and rowdy energy."

Every time I hear this song, I just want to tell everyone, "The Ghost Riders," is an actual meteorological phenomenon that happens in the Sonoran Desert. This is, by far, one if the best renditions of this song I've heard in a while. Thank you Mr. McGuinness. That last note was breathtaking!

@@LeRoyt97Burl Ives (the fast version) is in my top 3, along with Marty Robbins, but I also have a weakness for the Blues Brothers version, entirely due to Dan Aykroyd's incredible voice.

Lyrics An old cowboy went riding out One dark and windy day Upon a ridge he rested As he went along his way When all at once a mighty herd Of red eyed cows he saw Plowin' through the ragged skies And up the cloudy draw Their brands were still on fire And their hooves were made of steel Their horns were black and shiny And their hot breath he could feel A bolt of fear went through him As they thundered through the sky For he saw the riders coming hard And he heard their mournful cry Yippie-yi-o Yippie-yi-yay Ghost riders in the sky Their faces gaunt Their eyes were blurred Their shirts all soaked with sweat He's riding hard to catch that herd But he ain't caught 'em yet 'Cause they've got to ride forever On that range up in the sky On horses snorting fire As they ride on, hear their cry As the riders loped on by him He heard one call his name 'If you wanna save your soul From hell a-riding on our range Then, cowboy, change your ways today Or with us you will ride Trying to catch the devil's herd Across these endless skies Yippie-yi-o Yippie-yi-yay Ghost riders in the sky Yippie-yi-o Yippie-yi-yay Ghost riders in the sky

I don't know how you do it, Colm. You've not only got the southern drawl down, you've got the bass of a cowboy who smoked 3 packs a day for 40 years on the range. Truly masterful. Another one of my favorite songs covered by another one of my favorite artists. Way to Go.

[@silverwolfe3636]

Not so fun fact, smoking actually reduces your vocal range in the lower registers as well as the upper.

First I need to say, I love this song. I love cowboy/western music (different than country, although I like that too). In this version, I love the banjo, guitar, and violin - masterful! The vocal style is . . . . . different. I like other songs you sing, such as The Music of the Night, but not this song. I really do appreciate that you try different songs and styles - that takes guts and talent! And to be that talented with voice and so many different instruments, not just similar such as guitar and banjo but also violin, your are truly a great musician.
