From their beginnings in mid-1960s Ohio as a group of friends playing cover tunes to the present-day unit, Pure Prairie League continues to embellish the rich 50-plus year history as one of country-rock’s pioneering forces. The band’s eponymous first album—featuring the Norman Rockwell Saturday Evening Post cover that introduced fans to the trademark cowpoke Sad Luke—has been hailed as a major early influence in the emerging popularity of country-rock. Its second effort, the multiplatinum Bustin’ Out, featured the classic “Amie” and other gems of the genre. Now in their sixth decade (and featuring original member John David Call), Pure Prairie League continues to lead the way for the new generation of country-rock musicians, such as Keith Urban, Nickel Creek, Wilco, Counting Crows, and many others that cite the band as a major influence.
