When Cowboys Dream (CD or Cassette) Here's what Ranger Doug, of The Riders In The Sky, says about it:
"	KG and the Ranger are among the best known proponents of the western style and it's easy to hear why: they sing with charm and style, they yodel spectacularly, choose great material with unerring taste, and write fine new songs as well. Their growing and continuing success is well deserved."
This collection of songs loosely follows the theme of dreams. There are as many different kinds of dreams as there are different sorts of cowboys - from working cowboys to singing cowboys. It includes our contest winning yodel in a new recording of the song Sagebrush Symphony. Let your imagination roam free as you listen to these songs, and ride along with us when cowboys dream...
