City Livin'

"It's a song that has spoken to me my whole life, through a slew of different musical tastes. It roots in a real outdoor setting (as a Stan Jones campfire song) and not just the Camera Cowboy of Hollywood fame, which really give it an allure to me. 

I sang it under the same moon I’ll be looking at tonight, as a point of relation. 

Of course the Johnny Cash version is the one that sticks with me most, but that’s just my personal preference..." -Big Jake Bootstrap, about why he chose (Ghost) Riders in the Sky.
