"Riding into Blue (Cowboy Song)" is a song by the German singer Inga Humpe, released by East West on 18 June 1990 as the second single from her debut solo studio album, Planet Oz.
On one occasion, Horn played "Riding into Blue" to Inga on a guitar and she immediately expressed interest in recording it.
[6] Upon its release, pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "With a bassline stolen from the Who's 'A Quick One, While He's Away' and layered with synthesizer patterns and spaghetti-western tunes, this is an interesting number.
[8] John Morgan of the Derby Evening Telegraph noted, "The song opens with a nifty, swinging rhythm and Inga's sweet vocal harmony parts adding an air of intrigue to what sounds at first to be a countryish number.
"[9] Iestyn George, writing for the Blackpool Gazette, called it the "latest in a line of ambient dance tracks, calming the nerves while still managing to provoke considerable movement on the dance floor".
