SUMMARY:Pure Prairie League
DESCRIPTION:“soaring harmonies\, lilting love songs\, and rollicking Southern rockers” – No Depression\n  \nPure Prairie League continues to embellish its rich fifty-plus year history of one of country-rock’s pioneering forces.

Additionally\, keyboard master Randy Harper\, guitar ace/vocalist Jeff Zona and pedal steel/saxophonist John Heinrich. Here\, as one reviewer recently wrote: “PPL’s sound combines sweet memories with edgy\, contemporary muscle.

Then\, their second effort\, the multi-platinum Bustin’ Out featured the Craig Fuller-penned classic “Amie”\, along with other gems of the genre. Also\, over several albums and countless shows\, a legacy has been forged and enriched. The band has enjoyed contributions from several noteworthy members\, including original co-founder George Ed Powell\, and Cincinnati’s legendary Goshorn Brothers. Also\, Country Hall of Famers Gary Burr and Vince Gill\, award-winning writer Jeff Wilson (three Top twenty singles)\, top Nashville session vocalist Curtis Wright and others. Furthermore\, they have featured guest appearances from Chet Atkins\, Johnny Gimble\, Emmylou Harris\, David Sanborn\, Don Felder (Eagles)\, and more. \nMoreover\, the new generation: Keith Urban\, Nickel Creek\, Wilco\, Counting Crows and more cite PPL as a major influence. \nNow\, with the release of 2024’s Back On Track\, PPL brings it all back home with a dozen new songs. Here\, they complete the circle begun in 1970 and continues to this day. \nRecommended for fans of Poco\, The Doobie Brothers\, The Eagles and The Flying Burrito Brothers.
