Riders in the Sky: New Book Release on May 15

May 1st 2025
Rita Barnea

Riders In The Sky: Romancing the West with Music and Humor will be released May 15, 2025. This long-anticipated Bobbie and Bill Malone official biography – two years and more than 100 interviews in the making – is here at last. Cue the herd, cue the yodeling, cue the fiddle and accordion! It’s time to celebrate!

Too Slim says “When I read the first draft of Bill and Bobbie’s introduction mapping the development of western music and our place in its history, I just about cried. They got it. They got what we’ve been doing for 47 years and why it’s worthy of appreciation and respect.”

If you’re interested in how this amazing quartet found each other, took on the mission of reviving a musical and entertainment tradition which was fading into obscurity, and generated well over a million laughs, a few tears, and a legion of fans along the way, this book is for you.

For those who live in Nashville, they will be at Parnassus Books on May 27, 2025 in conversation with authors Bobbie and Bill C. Malone. Get your tickets today and see you there!

“The Happy Yodeler”, “Cherokee Strip”, “The Little Green Valley”, “Golden Lockets”, “On the Rhythm Range”, “Ol’ Cowpoke”, “The Wayward Wind”, “Getaway Gallop”, “The Colorado Trail”, “The Shelter of the Wildwood”, “Waiting for the Echo” (for Roberta), “Old Rivers”, “Throw a Saddle on a Star”, “Back on Those Texas Plains”.
