During their 35-year history, Riders in the Sky have made 27 albums to date and released 25. Ranger Doug and Joey, the CowPolka King have also released solo albums. Most of the Riders in the Sky albums, RD's album, and Joey's albums are available from Riders in the Sky and Joey through a secure connection to Too Slim's Mercantile on the official Riders in the Sky web site. Click the album name to visit the Merc and check for availability, see the play list for the selected album, and/or place an order! (To my knowledge, none of the 45s is available anymore except through used record dealers.)
