Pure Prairie League - Great American Radio, Vol.8 (2021)

Live archive release. Pure Prairie League is arguably one of the most underrated of US Country Rock combos that emerged in the 1970s. Hailing originally from Ohio, at their best PPL offered up a grittier, more home-grown take on Country Rock than the more vaunted 'California Sound' bands that held sway in the mid-seventies such as The Eagles and Poco. This recording, brought to you at mid-price is taken from an FM Radio broadcast of a show at the Calderone Concert Hall, Hempstead, New York, on Sunday 30th April 1978, and features Larry Goshorn (guitar, vocals), his brother Tim (guitar, vocals), George Ed Powell (guitar, vocals), Michael Reilly (bass, vocals), Michael Connor (keyboards), and Billy Hinds (drums). This is the same line-up that recorded the album Just Fly, their penultimate release for the RCA Victor label, which was released in March 1978, and from which eight tracks are performed in this sparkling set.
