Pure Prairie League – GREAT AMERICAN RADIO VOLUME 8 (2CD) Compact Disc Double

Description

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.  Their unusual name was derived from a 1939 Western movie, Dodge City, which starred Errol Flynn – the Pure Prairie League was the (fictional) women’s Temperance Union, attempting to clean up the lawlessness in the titular Kansas town.
