Country Song - Pure Prairie League

[cmaurer51]

True

[cmaurer51]

Hey this is wildman about that record the PPL first can you burn me a personal copy?

[WyattD18]

NO....no Vince Gill. This is their first album with Craig Fuller and George Ed trading licks on pedal and guitar.

[WyattD18]

Craig Fuller on guitar.....sounds like him singing, too.

[MyPaul2006]

I remember reading the credits on this album,and it was Vince Gill much to my surprise,this is a great song.

[22kef22]

what ever became of George Ed Powell? Been tryin to find a copy of "Heart of her own"

[22kef22]

what ever became of George Ed Powell?

[XxLetsTalkGamesxX]

the fact that alot of ppl's stuff sounds like it was recorded with rusty gear appeals to me. i hate music thats squeaky clean and tight when its done with the mixer. this is great

[southernfrydeinc]

Love the jamming in this tune!!! Sounds like they had a blast doing it.

[penrod440]

just does'nt get much better than that

[hoggrken]

This sounds like Craig Fuller, doing vocals to me...could be wrong!

[Moyesification]

George Ed Powell vocals,hey I really miss that guy!

[cmaurer51]

How can I get a copy of PPL first record?

[WyattD18]

[Mangosunsplash]

Mango Splash

[bluejay4480]

great band but nobody beats the Flying Burrito Brothers....

[sheeeot]

One of my all time favorites. It is not on any currently availible cd or Itunes. Thanks for the post. I have the software where one can rip it off the lp and make a wave out of it...

[ynotryme]

I bought this cd as a 2fer with bustin out in 2007 for $14.99 now its used for 74.00

[claytonave]

@ynotryme Wish i'd found it then. I had the first album not long after it was released.

[claytonave]

The first line-up of PPL, after Craig Lee Fuller left, post Bustin' Out, they had a very different style. And, in my opinion, much less originality.

[paulacooper01]

I haven't heard this in years,,what great memories

[Frumibandersnatch]

Wow I havn't heard this since '74 I can never find this album. This is pre- bustin' out isn't it.? My parents had this album and I played it to death.

[rocker53zero]

@Frumibandersnatch There's a whole bunch of these albums on eBay. Vinyl and C.D.

[bamapoppy]

@Frumibandersnatch I've got this album from back in the 70's but haven't played it in years. Try amazon.

[bulbheadmyass]

Great song.

[gregzack1]

Great sound, Who played Steel pedal on this track?

[MrOutlawtim]

John David Call

[912johnboy]

can anyone say 8-track????

[kibblebits54]

I Have this lp, and if i recall correctly i think Ricky Skaggs was part of this group.

Fantastic singing and playing

[graybeard1952]

Perhaps you're thinking of Vince Gill. Ricky Skaggs was never a member of PPL.

[RasMajnouni]

@graybeard1952 Just read wikipedia which says that he and some other's like Chet Atkins & Johnny Gimble played background instruments.(Though the Wikipedia is not Bible revealed on Mount Sinai!) Dec.34,2009 is the end of the world! The next day will be a different emmanation of Dec.35th 2009.

[vagabondrecon]

clean guitar, wow!! and great singing!! This is PPL at their best

who played steel pedal?

[davec911fire]

If you have this one on vinyl it is or will be a classic! "Never leave old albums alone during 70's nitrous oxide invovled partys"

[JONFATSARNOTT]

can anyone find Take'n the Stage?? by PPL?? Please let me know ..............Thanks Ya'lll

[davec911fire]

I got to see them in concert back in the 70's at the old Ambassador Theatre in St. Louis-the opening band was the Flying Burrito Brothers. They are on the best concerts I've ever seen in my life list (includes OMD)

[JONFATSARNOTT]

Wow, was Gram Parsons w/them when you seen them??

[junkie4vids]

This song by PPL easily ranks as one of the best country rock jams of that era.

Other songs that turn into great country-flavored jams are:

** Richard "Dickie" Betts - "Long Time Gone"

** David Bromberg - New Lee Highway Blues

[xraymond10]

I NEED "TEARS" ON a friggin' CD !

[nyrangers1954]

on one of their greatest hits cd has

tears - you're between me...woman on it

search best buy you will find

[catmandu57]

You can find Tears on the Anthology cd, it's available through Amazon.

[oatesfan]

PLEASE someone upload their song that goes "sitting on McKenzie River, listenin' to McKendree Spring...tryin' to get into heaven, tryin' to get into almost anything... you're between me...and what I want to be.."

[nyrangers1954]

i have the album but no way to play it

poco and pure prairie league both great

groups and underated

[catmandu57]

I've been looking for Country Song for the last two years, you can't find this album anymore. I had it in the seventies it went walk about on me, replaced it, and that copy walked off. I found a copy in a used record shop in "91" that went out the door too. Thanks Graybeard.

[publicthoroughfare]

Great Jam! Original PPL. Thanks Greybeard1952.
