Riders in the Sky "Lassoed Live" at the Schermerhorn with the Nashville Symphony is a 2009 live album, the highlights of a 3-night concert series recorded by Riders in the Sky in conjunction with the Nashville Symphony Orchestra.

The album won three awards at the 2010 Western Music Association Awards. The group, however, was not in attendance as they were performing their 6,024th career appearance in Cody, Wyoming, that evening.

In reaction to receiving the award, Douglas B. Green, vocalist, stated “We are stunned and deeply honored to be so recognized by our peers.” Group comedian and bass-player Fred LaBour added, “When we heard we’d won three WMA awards, we threw our huge hats in the air, yodeled in perfect outdoor harmony, enjoyed a celebratory plate of biscuits and beans, and hit the trail for another show. The WMA folks are with us in the trenches of presenting, promoting, and preserving cowboy music, and we’re so pleased they recognize what we do.”
