New Riders of the Purple Sage

I started listening to the New Riders becuz that was Jerry's other band, the one he played pedal steel in. Then I realized I really liked their music. I was never sure what to label it; back then country & western was made by men like Charlie Pride and Conwat Twitty and Johnnie Cash. They didn't look like these stoner boys from California. So when I was jamming to these songs on 8 track then reel to reel, it was as though I was goofing on Nashville, you know?
Anyway, this morning our network is doing ok and I am able to stream a New Riders concert recorded in 1971. The sound is very good, it comes from the soundboard.
I Don't Know You (mp3)
I DON’T KNOW YOU
YOU BEEN LATELY ON MY MIND
I DON’T KNOW YOU
YOU BEEN LATELY ON MY MIND
WELL YOU CAME INTO MY WORLD AND
YOU TOOK IT BY SURPRISE
SUN COULD RISE UP IN THE WEST AND I WOULD BE NO WISER

AND I DON’T KNOW YOU
COME SIT BESIDE ME
I’M NOT SURE IF YOU’RE STILL THERE
COME SIT BESIDE ME
I’M NOT SURE IF YOU’RE STILL THERE
WELL, THE OLD MAN IN THE SKY HE KNOWS WHAT I’M SAYING
I COULDN’T TELL YOU A LIE
BELIEVE WE’VE BEEN PLAYING A GAME
‘CAUSE I DON’T KNOW YOU

Never heard of them before, but have them playing now on Rhapsody as I check out the blogs. Thanks. So far, pretty damn good.

I ended up listening to the entire 2 disc CD of "Boston Music Hall - December 5, 1972" - great stuff.

Thanks. I'll download it over the weekend. There are several other albums on here by them too, so I'll be exploring further.
