The Easy Riders perform music that was added to a TV show in 1956.

This is music from an hour-long "Studio One" production of "The Ballad of Yermo Red," which aired on CBS on July 30, 1956.

Terry Gilkyson wrote the two songs featured in the program.

Rich Dehr sings lead on "The Sky Is High." Group members Dehr and Frank Miller were listed in the cast credits.

"The Sky Is High" is a song written by Gilkyson

The Easy Rider group is a trio.

The first session was May 1956--the groups sound was fully formed at this debut session.

The musicians are Gilkyson, Dehr, and Miller.

You might call them Frank Miller's Easy Riders at the start of their career.

Gilkyson's made solo recordings for Decca from 1949 through 1951.

Gilkyson's baritone singing has a trained, dramatic quality--not what we nornmally hear in folk music.
