County road two thirty-three under my feet Hello, hello, baby Seems like everybody's got a price I know a place where the grass is really greener I can see why you think you belong to me Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell How does a ragtag volunteer army in need of a shower Ayy, boy, whatcha say, boy? Well, this started in a barroom on the highway to fame Dead I am the one, exterminatin' son

♫ Amie ♫

As I mentioned a few nights ago, our friend Keith sent me an email with three song suggestions earlier this week, and today’s is the third of his titles!  (Feel free to send me some suggestions to help me out, friends!) This is one that a line or two periodically pop into my head for no particular reason, but I hadn’t given thought to the song in its entirety for a long time!  I’m generally not a…

Pure Prairie League & Firefall – Capitol Theater – Wheeling, WV – September 1, 2023

Billed as "The Legends Of Country Rock" tour, Pure Prairie League and Firefall brought over 50 years of music to the Capitol Theater in Wheeling, WV. 

Comprised of many of its founding original members, Firefall did a full 10-song opening set. Sounding very much like those tight harmonies on their records of the 1970's they included all their hits including "Goodbye, I Love You," "So Long," "Just Remember I Love You" and "Strange Way."

In many ways, Firefall was the "rock" end of this country/rock billing.

Pure Prairie League has roots in the Ohio Valley, having been formed outside Columbus and finding early success in Cincinnati, took the stage in Wheeling with "Early Morning Riser" and continued through a long set of music touching their entire catalog of music including a new CD in the works.

From album cuts such as "I'll Change Your Flat Tire, Merle" and "Lucille Crawfield" to hits like "Let Me Love You Tonight," Pure Prairie League straddled the fence between flat out pop rock, to a sultry country vibe. This country side was even more prevalent on the show closer "Amie." Maybe the ghost of the stage they were playing on, and the history of country music on those boards over the decades had something to do with the way they were playing the songs, but all doubts were removed, when the audience called Pure Prairie League back for an encore and they obliged with "Pickin' To Beat The Devil" featuring the pedal steel guitar player on the extended ending.

All in all, the show lived up to the "Legends Of Country Rock" billing and the audience was sent home fulfilled.

Firefall Setlist: Livin' Ain't Livin' / Just Remember I Love You / It Doesn't Matter / So Long / Cinderella / Sweet And Sour / You're Gonna Lose That Girl / Way Back When / Goodbye, I Love You / You Are The Woman / Strange Way / Mexico

Pure Prairie League Setlist: Kansas City Southern / Early Morning Riser / Angel #9 / Heart Of Her Own / I'll Change Your Flat Tire, Merle / Let Me Love You Tonight / Woman / Harvest / Jazzman / Call Me, Tell Me / Lucille Crawfield / Goodbye, So Long / Modern Problem / You Can't Put A Price On Love / Two Lane Highway / Amie / Encore: Pickin' To Beat The Devil

Song Review: Dave McMurray feat. Jamey Johnson - “To Lay Me Down”

Putting himself in the background and ceding the foreground to Jamey Johnson’s vocals, saxophonist Dave McMurray transformed “To Lay Me Down” into a nothing-special country ballad.

Think Vince Gill-era Pure Prairie League.

A damn shame, too, ’cause McMurray surely could’ve done something unexpected with this second single - it follows Oteil Burbridge’s take on “Scarlet Begonias” - ahead of Grateful Deadication 2’s May 19 arrival.

Instead, he stuck with the broad contours of Jerry Garcia’s music but wiped away its specialness. And he replaced it with the aural equivalent of a generic-product label.

It’ll for sure lay the listener down - as in lulling him or her to sleep.

Wednesday 11/9/22 11pm ET: Feature LP: Pure Prairie League – Bustin’ Out (1972)

Bustin’ Out is the second studio album by American country rock band Pure Prairie League. Originally released by RCA Records in October 1972, the album garnered renewed interest almost 3 years after its release. By then, band leader Craig Fuller was no longer in the band due to draft board issues. “Amie” was first released as a single in 1973 and failed to chart. In early 1975 it again began…

"Where do you see this relationship going?" A look into an on-again, off-again romantic partnership.

I like the lyrical meter in this song, a lot, and how it joins and breaks up different phrases.

Who else is obsessed with an old man song? Put that shit in the tags! Give me more old man songs to listen to!
