In a feat of serendipity I heard a song I liked off the recent Counting Crows album I really liked. The albums was a covers album and the song covered was Amie! The very next day I went digging through Wal-Marts $5 bin and found a collection by these guys. I'm really liking it. It has the harmonies I love in country groups like Alabama with the Country Rock sound I really like in groups like Restless Heart growing up. I read these guys had an identity crisis musically which I think benefits as I like the variety from song to song. I even hear some Jazz elements like in "Let me Love You Tonight" and rock guitar solos like "I Can't Stop This Feeling". I always like groups with a base sound that change it up. Hear are the songs I'm digging including some I knew but wasn't aware off!

Amie, Let Me Love You Tonight & I Can't Stop This Feeling

Re: Pure Prairie League

I also have a best-of of theirs that I love. I think they belong right up there with bands like Poco and the Flying Burrito Brothers. Thanks Soots for jogging the old memory bank.

No problem Bob! Is the best of look like the one I have?:

Fever, I had no idea Vince Gill was involved in this group. I had always written him off but then again I used to be very selective of Country at the time. I may buy his solos seeing they are also largely in that 5 dollar bin!

Re: Pure Prairie League

Surprised to see this one from you, Sooty

Certainly not upset though

Another great, 70s country rock band.. My dad got me into them, I knew Amie and Two Lane Highway, but I have 2 albums, maybe three from them..

Love this one off of Bustin' Out
