In 2004,
Collectables
reissued two obscure albums by
the New Riders of the Purple Sage
that had been out of print for years,
Home, Home on the Road
and
Brujo
. Both albums were originally released on
Columbia
in 1974, with the best material being on the
Jerry Garcia
-produced live recording
, which combined
rock & roll
favorites such as
Ricky Nelson
's
"Hello Mary Lou,"
Chuck Berry
"School Days,"
the Rolling Stones
'
"Dead Flowers"
with
NRPS
originals
"Kick in the Head,"
"Henry,"
"Sutter's Mill."
Fans of
the Grateful Dead
's overt
country
material will find this a welcome addition to their collections. ~ Al Campbell
