I remember when Riders in the Sky was a hit back in the early 80s. My personal favorite is Summer by Mumm-Ra which I put in my Top Ten of 2020. It's also always nice to hear some Jethro Tull!
Legend thanks Dan. I’d only heard Summer for the first time a few weeks ago and have no knowledge of its background. Do you know if it was a big song at its release?
I'm not sure. Apparently these guys are from Sussex and have been around since the early 2000s. It doesn't look like the song charted in either the U.K. or the U.S. (I'm not sure how I first heard it.) They've only released one single since "Summer." It sounds like they had prepared a tour in 2020 but COVID cancelled that.
Ghost Riders by The Outlaws is amazing!
Love it

Always look forward to this post. OMFG I haven’t heard Ghost Riders in ages. Love that song. Just as much as High Tides! Great guitar work.
the first time I heard it I was hooked. Right before the guitar solo when the energy just seems to build and build
For a future week give Hocus Pocus by Gary Hoey a listen. Some sizzling guitar going on there! And yes, it’s a cover but fantastic.
Oh nice one, I recognise the name but need to give it a listen
