45 Number Twelve

Now we're talkin'! The Long Ryders!

This was a great overlooked band. Listening to these songs with old ears; I forgot how great. Folks don't skip over these songs lightly. Put 'em on your music makers and turn them up loud. I am making arrangements to get them on my I-pod now. They'll make my walk to work fly, and can do the same for your bus ride, car jaunt, or motor cycle cruise.

This is actually a two 45 package. The A side and three non album tracks. "Looking for Lewis and Clark" really rocks, and is the link above. I really wish I could give you a link to "If I Was Bramble, and You Were a Rose." It's a song that really deserves some attention from all you folk singers out there. It's just beautiful. Alas I couldn't find the song on the net, so you will have to come over to my house and hear it, or buy it yourselves.

One of my best Long Ryders' memories is riding along back in the mid 80's in my black, T-top, Firebird, with my beautiful wife, listening to one of our favourites; "Run Dusty Run." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4b2gucSPBI&feature=related

Several other notable Long Ryders tunes that shouldn't be missed; "State of My Union" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRVfzComP60 and their cover of the NRBQ classic "I Want You Bad" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eb-B0Q8ESpQ&feature=related .
