Product description

"New Riders of the Purple Sage" is a seminal work from the eponymous band, released on January 1, 1971, under the Columbia/Legacy label. This album is a cornerstone of the country rock and southern rock genres, blending the raw energy of rock with the storytelling tradition of country music. The band, known for their tight musicianship and extended live performances, delivers a powerful studio experience with this release.

The album opens with "I Don't Know You" and closes with a trio of live tracks, showcasing the band's versatility and dynamic stage presence. Standout tracks like "Portland Woman," "Henry," and "Louisiana Lady" highlight the band's knack for crafting memorable melodies and evocative lyrics. The live renditions of "Down In The Boondocks," "The Weight," and "Superman" capture the essence of their live shows, adding a layer of authenticity and energy that studio recordings can't always replicate.

With a runtime of just over 56 minutes, "New Riders of the Purple Sage" is a concise yet impactful journey through the band's early sound. The album's blend of country rock, southern rock, and Americana elements makes it a timeless piece that continues to resonate with fans and newcomers alike. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the band, this album offers a rich and rewarding listening experience.

This is a 1988 Reissue released as a LP.

    4 out of 5 stars
    vbcutmispDecember 29, 2025United States🇺🇸

    The audio quality is quite impressive. I'd say it's probably a 1971 release, considering where I resided when I purchased it.

    5 out of 5 stars
    XaifGxounGiklJanuary 17, 2025United States🇺🇸

    Jerry Garcia's talents shine on this LP, featuring his steel guitar and vocals. This album is incredibly underappreciated and deserves a spot in every Grateful Dead fan's collection.
