In the late 1970’s, I had the idea of blending reggae and country music, and recorded “Rider On The Range”.  In the 1990’s, with my buddy George Piburn, we revisited the concept  and recorded the first SKY RANGERS album. In 2016, I had the opportunity to go back into these tracks with Dominic Romano and sing and play many parts over. I’ve added new tunes, like the track “Smokey On The Left” recorded earlier this year by my friend and Country Music Hall of Fame guitarist Ron Cornelius with his Nashville studio crew . These new songs replaced what were really 90s Rhyth-O-Matics songs; “Ghost Skankers” and “Wagon Train Ska” from the first album. The photo on the cd was taken by Fred Gordon of me in 1980. The back cover is the house in Oklahoma my mother grew up in. The picture on the inside cover is of my grandfather Wesley O’Neale (far left), and my great grandpa “Silver Dollar” Jake O’Neale (2nd from right). The little kid in the window on the cover is 5 year old “Cowboy” Jimmy Foot. I haven’t changed that much!
