Susan Kay "Suzy" Bogguss (born December 30, 1956) is an Americancountry music singer and songwriter. Bogguss began her career in the early 1980s as a solo singer. In the 1990s, she released one platinum and three gold albums and charted six top ten singles, winning the Academy of Country Music's award for Top New Female Vocalist and the Country Music Association's Horizon Award.
After taking a brief recording hiatus in the mid-1990s to start a family with her husband, songwriter Doug Crider, Bogguss returned to the country music industry, but did not match her earlier chart success. Although she last appeared on the Billboard Hot Country Singles Chart in 2001, Bogguss continues to record and tour extensively.
Early life and rise to success
Susan Kay Bogguss was born in Aledo, Illinois, the youngest of four born to Barbara "B.J." (née Stewart) and Charles "Bud" Bogguss. Charles was an Army officer who served in the Pacific Ocean theatre of World War II, and later became a machinist who worked at an International Harvester plant at East Moline. B.J. was a secretary-auditor for a Midwest grocery chain. Her grandmothers played piano at theaters. At age 5, she began singing in the Angel Choir of the College Avenue Presbyterian Church in her hometown. With her parents' encouragement, she took lessons in piano and drums, and as a teenager picked up the guitar as well. In her youth, Bogguss would visit Roy Rogers and Dale Evans at their home in Apple Valley, California, as they attended the same church as her grandparents. She starred in several musicals at Aledo High School, where she was crowned homecoming queen during her fourth year. After graduating in 1975, she enrolled at Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, but later transferred to Illinois State University (ISU) in Normal. She graduated from ISU in 1980 with a bachelor's degree in metalsmithing. She would later use these skills to design her own jewelry.
Marvel's first Ghost Rider look was based on the Magazine Enterprises character Ghost Rider (Rex Fury), created by writer Ray Krank and artist Dick Ayers for editor Vincent Sullivan in Tim Holt #11 (1949). The character appeared in horror-themed Western stories through the run of Tim Holt, Red Mask, and A-1 Comics up until the institution of the Comics Code.
After the trademark to the character's name and motif lapsed, Marvel Comics debuted its own near-identical, horror-free version of the character in Ghost Rider #1 (cover-dated Feb. 1967), by writers Roy Thomas and Gary Friedrich and original Ghost Rider artist Ayers. (Ghost) Riders in the Sky: A Cowboy Legend, being popular at the time, inspired the comics. The song was also the inspiration for the Magazine Enterprises' horror-Western comic-book character the Ghost Rider.

Suzy Bogguss/Jerry Jeff Walker - Night Rider's Lament
I've been listening to this song for 40+ years. Lots of people have recorded it. I won't bother to list them, else I'll lose your attention. This is a live version by Suzy Bogguss (mostly Suzy) and Jerry Jeff Walker. This is a video I put together for their rendition. I think it's sorta nice. Song was written by Michael Burton. A little bit tricky to figure out the unfolding story, lots of characters involved. I probably guessed wrong. So be it, it is what it is.

(Suzy Bogguss/Doug Crider) Half empty airport, plane's at the gate They tell her it's full, she says she'll wait She's been here all evening sitting all alone Watching the business men talk on the phone She fixes her make up, cleans out her purse Leaving is hard, but staying is worse Just for a moment it crosses her mind She could go back, no not this time It's almost midnight, and they just called her name She's on that last flight, now nothing's the same Her ticket says standby, but she can stand on her own She's all through crying, now she's flying Taking that red-eye home Sitting in smoking, but she doesn't smoke A traveling salesman tells her a joke She just stares out the window as they're packing that jet Not quite sad, but she's not laughing yet It's almost midnight, and they just called her name She's on that last flight, now nothing's the same Her ticket says standby, but she can stand on her own She's all through crying, now she's flying Taking that red-eye home It's just eleven fifty-four but it's a new day They're starting to board, she's flying away It's almost midnight, and they just called her name She's on that last flight, now nothing's the same Her ticket says standby, but she can stand on her own She's all through crying, now she's flying Taking that red-eye home She's all through crying, she's flying Taking that red-eye home
