Riders in the Sky

Riders in the Sky is an American Western music and comedy group, which began performing in 1977. The band has released more than 40 albums, starred in a single-season, self-titled television series on CBS, wrote and starred in an NPR syndicated radio drama Riders Radio Theater, and appeared in television series and films, including as featured contributors to Ken Burns' Country Music. Their family-friendly style also appeals to children, exemplified in their recordings for Disney and Pixar.

The band also recorded companion albums for Toy Story 2 and Monsters, Inc.
