Ghost Riders is the sixth album by American southern rock band Outlaws, released in 1980. This album is regarded by many fans as the last Outlaws album that followed their old fashioned southern rock style, and also sparked a comeback after the mediocre sales of prior albums. Their cover of "(Ghost) Riders In the Sky" was one of their most successful songs earned the band some attention outside southern rock circles. Ghost Riders would be the final Outlaws album for Billy Jones, who would be asked to leave the band after its release.
