Bustin' Out
In mid 1972, `Pure Prairie League' busted out with an impossibly likable song called, "Amie", which shot up the charts. The album soon became a classic country-rock favorite. With breezy acoustic ballads and gentle harmonies, Pure Prairie League was on its way to pop stardom. The opener, "Jazzman" glides along with slide guitar and ample guitar hooks. "Early Morning Riser" and "Amie" are simple upbeat melodic tunes that beg repeated listens. The ballads, `Falling In And Out Of Love", Boulder Skies" and "Call Me, Tell Me" are incredibly imotive with sparse strings that carry that emotional sentiment right to the end of the last song. If anything, this set is too short, but it's sweetly short and an instant classic.
