Pure Prairie League: Two Lane Highway@ Festival in the Park

[hamiltuckian]

Sorry this wasn't the line up on this song. The Goshorn's aren't on here. Larry wrote it.

[ABCGUITAR]

Other than Craig Fuller who is in the band??

[DaphneRhiannon]

These dudes made country relevant.  I have their stuff on vinyl.

[carloscarlos13]

It was "country rock" back then because country didn't rock like this! (Johnny Cash excepted). PPL, Poco, Willy and Walon , Neil Young and many others (even Bob Dylan's Nashville Skyline album right?)--TAUGHT country music to rock. That's why most Nashville songs these days have rock licks. This is ROCK with a country flavor, yeah.

[brose1959]

i think vince gill fronted this fantastic group at one time these guys are the best

[rocker53zero]

@brose1959  Vince used this band to gain him a solo career and destroyed them in the process.

[1996sober]

In the 70's they called it prog. country.

[pout46]

Excellent they have not lost it one bit that sounds as good as the day they recorded it in the 70,s WOW.Live taken the stage was an excellent alblum.Unfortuanatly it is outta print.Anyone out there know where I could get a copy of it on CD.??????

[JoeNJ1]

Hey Bill Bratton you watchin this?;

[hud01]

They are remembered as a one hit wonder with Amie. There were so much more. This is a great song.

BTW a R&R guy

[akcoins]

It wasn't classified rock, it was called country rock

[1drumgod55]

i never heard wrov call it country rock

[commventam]

Man, that was a great redord!! 1973? A very country record, but it was classified as rock because they all looked like hippies!! LOL . I saw them in '77 or '78 at UMBC in Baltimore.

[goofywilly]

bought some good yayo from these dudes back in the early 80s lol

[chiefskis]

Too bad the Goshorn brothers don't play with PPL. Larry wrote and sang this song for PPL while Tim's biggest PPL hit was probably "Sun shone lightly". They still play together in Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky and are damn good.

[BCK]

Larry wrote some really good music from '75-'78. Unfortunately PPL was a bit overlooked given the songwriting quality.

[mistasaltic]

I thought that was Rick Schell. Thanks to SouthboundEwers for confirming that!Is Rick still living in Nashville,Tn?What a great song!This is my fav by P.P.L.I love Aime too.My daughters name is Amy.I grew up in Salem[right next to Roanoke].Thought it was interesting to look for this song & Their doin it live in Roanoke!I'll be up there Nov 28th for a reunion show with my old band THE RHYTHM DOCTORS @ The Hotel Roanoke.Thanks for posting this song! COSMIC!!!!!!!

[CountryRock4U]

PPL Rocks! Newest album "All In Good Time" is excellent!

[Faroutdog]

Great song & band, love it. Brings back some great memories.

[Assattacker]

I still remember the first time I heard this one. I was on my first run on my first over the road driving job. I had just left Tazewell, VA heading west on US-19 on my way back to Asheville, NC. It was late evening so I was chasing the sumset. 19 was a two lane back then. I was listening to some country station and this song came on the radio. I knew right then that this was the life for me. Songs like this and Running on Empty and ARS's Georgia Rythym keep us road warriors moving late at nite.

[chewbacca0901]

These guys blow away any of today's acts. That's why my kids listen to stuff like this, Poco, The Beatles, etc... When are the record companies going to wake up?

[SouthboundEwers]

Mighty Fine! Drummer Rick Schell turns in a wonderful vocal on this song.

[SurfCity58]

I'm a Prairie Dog too, longtime. What a shame that "Live: Taking the Stage" is not available on CD. Why is that? One of the great live concert albums ever.

[SouthboundEwers]

I agree. Why isn't this CD available? Every so often a CD of "Taking the Stage" shows up on ebay for $50 or higher.

[CountryRock4U]

Yes, it's very expensive now. I was lucky I got it when it's released as CD.

[Jake111992]

Are you talking about the All In Good Time cd? I picked it up at a concert of their's this past saturday (Sept 26) for $20 lol

[haisija]

Been a Prairie Dog for years.
