New Riders Of The Purple Sage – New Riders Of The Purple Sage
Year/Genre: 1971, Country Rock
Matrix #: C 30888
Condition: EX, sounds great, looks great
Cultural Facts:
-
Debut LP tied to the Grateful Dead orbit—Jerry Garcia plays pedal steel here, making it the Riders’ most Dead-adjacent studio record.
-
Recorded Dec 1970–Jan 1971 at Wally Heider in San Francisco, right as Bay Area rock bands were professionalizing into big-studio album cycles.
-
The band name nods to the Zane Grey western novel; their whole “cosmic cowboy” angle sat between hippie rock and country tradition.
-
If they like Grateful Dead, Flying Burrito Brothers, or The Byrds’ country era, this is the same early-’70s scene where rock audiences adopted country imagery.
