    This legendary song, covered by the legendary Johnny Cash, Gene Autry, Bing Crosby and Burl Ives, lives on now with Geoff Castellucci's incredible talent. As one of the greatest western songs of all time, I got the chance to take a look at Geoff's isolated vocals on this, and we're going to dive deep into what makes this song phenomenal!
    Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Geoff Castellucci performing "Ghost Riders In The Sky" for the first time.

      It definitely changed how I view and will be singing the song from now on. I covered this song as a guitarist and singer in several bands over the past 30 years, and even as a bass, I would go up like everyone else does when singing it. His choice to go down when hitting the chord root notes gave it a feeling of a lot more tension and definitely fits the song. He did shift the key up one half-step (from A#m to Bm), which does help. With Geoff's lowest chest note being an F#1 and also using that note as a subharmonic a lot, moving the key to Bm was a perfect choice.... F#1 is the inverted 5th of the Bm chord. He knew what he was doing here and did it perfectly.

    I am a dyed in the wool metalhead. I'm also a trained baritone although my training is decades in the past.
    I never really enjoyed country/western music but this song had an edge to it that came pretty close to metal.
    40 years of smoking and 25 years of hard drinking took a toll on my voice. I stopped smoking a few months ago and my drinking days ended in 2006 (knock on wood that they don't make a comeback because I still want a shot and a drag, just not today).
    Geoff's voice is otherworldly. On my best day, back in the day, I could almost make it down as low as Geoff but my sustain wasn't there. His vibrato is subtle but pronounced.
    This man has a set of pipes like nobody's business. Sustain like a pipe organ. Range from second-tenor to basso-profundo, pretty much where my vocal range was.
    He's a real talent to be sure. It was fun watching you listen to what he had to offer. ✌️🖖

      I am naturally Right-handed. Mom is absolutely hopelessly Right-handed and I saw the aftermath and how she struggled at two different times in her life when she broke her elbow once and then her wrist, both times on her good arm. She really felt useless while she healed up because she has always been weak as a kitten and twice as clumsy with her Left hand and arm.
      I did not want to be like that. I made a concerted effort throughout a lot of my childhood to use my Left hand for many things. Eating, drinking, opening doors, especially the more simple stuff, I can do Lefty. I can shoot pool Lefty (I am really no good at pool either way so that hardly matters), I can shoot basketball Lefty and fire a paintball gun with reasonable accuracy with the Left hand. I just happen to be Left-Eye-Dominant, which I think has also really helped me in some ways, even if it makes me weird.

    Btw, I had put your 'Pour unfortunate souls' through a spectrogram and there is at around 2/3rd a perfect rundown in the background of more than an octave. Consistent in tempo pitch and volume.
    Also Geoffs favorite note the A1 (in my opinion) is 55Hz and he regularly hits G1's at 52Hz and lower. Those notes are not visible on your spectrogram. I think you need to play around with the settings to make everything visible to al least 40 or 30Hz.

And rather than kidnap Geoff, the lyrics say why he (as the living cowboy that day) was allowed this 'Jacob Marley-esque' glimpse of 'cowboy hell' -- "Cowboy, change your ways today, or with us you will ride, tryin' to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies."

    Just wanted to mention that the story is much like the old folktales of the Wild Hunt, only based in the American Old West. Which is why it’s such a great, spooky song. The imagery is so vivid: Devil cattle stampeding across a sky that just stretches on forever; burning brands and sparks flying from their hooves, all the while being chased by those men who are damned for their deeds (or misdeeds) in life. Add on top of that Geoff’s amazing vocals and masterful storytelling, this has become one of my favorite songs.

    I saw the premier, I loved how much work Geoff put into this video. I also loved how he used blue eyes for the ghosts instead of red eyes. Excellently done. Much love to what you do Elizabeth.
    Edit: A cool twist would have been for him at the end to turn ethereal and eyes turn blue as the ghosts.

      This song used to creep me out - in a good way. Now with the mentioning of those blue eyes [from the ghosts], I hope I don’t wake up in the middle of the night. This is my 1st time seeing this particular version.

    I discovered this song in a stack of piano music at Grandma's (I have played since age 6) and never actually heard a vocal version until I was nearly 20. It has remained one of my all time favorites and I like what Geoff has done with it. I note that Geoff likes to do his "solo" work WITH instruments while Tim Foust likes to stay acapella. I can only imagine what these two could do together other than lay waste to speakers. Again, I really like your analysis (spot on, of course).

    This song was penned in 1948 by a man named Stan Jones. He wrote it after listening to an elderly Native American in Arizona relate a story about how ones' spirit enters the sky after death. I suppose it eventually applied to cowboys too? Thank you for a beautiful reaction. You are awesome.

    I never really thought about it much with his sound placement and consistency.... now I will be always thinking about it! And now I hear it's always consistent, regardless of technique used. Even when he uses glottal compression on some of his lower bass notes, I can now hear he phonates consonants and vowels the same... that's crazy!

    As a baritone singer myself, it's always a rare treat when lower singing is appreciated. I feel like there's been too much push for bright and high vocals, and deeper tones get regulated to the background or as accents. So when I hear a singer performing in a low or middling range, it always catches my attention.

    I was looking forward to your analysis of this one. 🙂
    The spectrograph is an interesting tool, makes some details "visible", very nice. 🙂
    I notice that many focus on the detail of the ghosts' eyes, but almost no-one seems to notice what IMHO is the most "ghostly" feature of them: they're translucent, you can see the landscape and the sky through them. WAAAY more noticeable, for me, yet very few seem to notice it. 🙂
    BTW, since he covered "Way down", Geoff gave names to all the other Geoffs. Here you have, left to right: Jeff, Daryl, Geoff, Goff, and Jeoph. 😁
    As usual, I'll have to watch your analysis over and over again, to take in all the interesting things you point out. Thank you for all this. 🙂
    See you next time! 🙂
    PS: will you analyse BOTH version of "Hide and seek - Ding dong", the one you're involved in and the one by the Bass Gang? It would be really interesting. No comparisons, nor judgements... Just the analysis of the two versions, to understand the differences, the approaches, and so on. 🙂

Many others have recorded it since then, but the version by Vaughan Monroe has always been my favorite until Geoff's version! Thanks again.

    His speed is what astounds me. As a bass singer it takes more air in the lower registers to keep the note and the tone and moving quickly between notes gets more difficult the lower you go. He makes it sound so effortless to do big jumps and then quick moves at the lower part of his register.
