Product Description

CD Description

Say what you will about this bunch of cosmic cowboy posers,they had the courage to put a mammary pun right up front. That's right, the cover of this CD features the words "The Best Of" displayed right on top of a discreetly t-shirted pairof breasts, and for that the thanks of a grateful nation. In any case, this brief (only 10 cuts) greatest hits album features some of the band's best work from its tenure at Columbia Records. It includes the cleverly self-mythologizing "Panama Red," founding member John Dawson's pretty "Louisiana Lady," a great countrified cover of Ashford and Simpson's "I Don't Need No Doctor," and a thoroughly idiomatic take on Bob Dylan's "You Angel You."

4.0 out of 5 stars ...yippee i ay..., 28 Jan 2007

(TOP 100 REVIEWER)      
The New Riders Of The Purple Sage started life way back in 1969 as an offshoot of the Grateful Dead. Meant as an outlet for the more acoustic elements of the Dead, NRPS soon took on a life of their own, quickly crystalising from Quicksilver Messenger Service like acoustic psych into leading lights of the west coast country rock scene.

Even so, they maintained their Grateful Dead links, recording songs by Robert Hunter and getting Phil Lesh and Jerry Garcia into the producers chair, the latter on their cracking 1974 live album, "Home, Home On The Road". Ex Jefferson Airplane man Spencer Dryden did a stint on drums and Byrds alumnus Skip Battin ended up in a later lineup.

This best of album first appeared back in 1976 as the New Riders left Columbia and was a good enough precis of their seven album stint, although lacking anything from albums number 3 and 7, "Gypsy Cowboy" and "Oh What A Mighty Time". That's kind of corrected here as "Farewell Angelina" from the latter is added (one of two Dylan covers here). However, in a shameless piece of marketing, it's an alternate take of "Linda" from the former that appears.

The other three extra tracks are all from the live album, and if you've never had the pleasure, the 15 tracks here could prove a treat.
