Hear Elvis's version on: The Way It Was
Having failed to get music publishing companies interested in his songs, Stan Jones recorded several of them, including this one, himself. Composer Eden Ahbez (best known for the hit "Nature Boy") heard "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky" and brought it to Burl Ives, who cut it for Columbia Records. It was later picked up by Bing Crosby, Gene Autry, and Vaughn Monroe, as well as dozens of others, and Jones had a new career and major Hollywood representation. Elvis's recording is taken from a rehearsal and was not originally intended for release; indeed, it was not released officially for over thirty years!
