0:37 "Amarillo by Morning"
by Terry Stafford and Paul Fraser
We’re kicking off this performance with one of the top country songs of all time, Amarillo by Morning, written by Terry Stafford and Paul Fraser. This song was popularized by the “King of Country,” George Strait, in 1983.

3:52 "Ghost Riders In the Sky"
by Stan Jones
Giddy up, cowboys and girls! This western tune tells the tale of a cowboy who has a vision of redeyed, steelhooved cattle thundering across the sky, being chased by the spirits of damned cowboys. We hope you enjoy our version of the country classic “Ghost Riders In the Sky,” by Stan Jones.

7:25 "Blue Bayou"
by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson
Next, we feature vocalist Sgt. 1st Class Tracy LeBrecque on the ballad “Blue Bayou.” Originally recorded by Roy Osbison in 1963, this song hit number three on the Billboard charts after it was recorded by Linda Ronstat in 1977.

11:31 "Riding with Private Malone"
by Wood Newton and Thom Shepard
“Private Malone” was written by Wood Newton and Thom Shepherd, and recorded by American country music artist David Ball. This song tells the story of a Veteran who buys a car, but finds out that it’s much more than that.

16:34 "Don’t Stop Believin’"
by Journey
Our final song today needs no introduction. Sing along with our bluegrass rendition of Journey’s hit classic “Don’t Stop Believin’!”
