Adult Contemporary
Pure Prairie League

Formed in 1971, Pure Prairie League comprised Craig Lee Fuller (vocals, guitar), George Powell (vocals, guitar), John Call (pedal steel guitar), Jim Lanham (bass) and Jim Caughlin (drums). Their self-titled debut album included the excellent "Tears," "You're Between Me" and "It's All On Me." The work also featured some novel sleeve artwork, using Norman Rockwell's portrait of an ageing cowboy as a symbol of the Old West. For successive albums, the cowboy would be portrayed being ejected from a saloon, stranded in a desert and struggling with a pair of boots. The image effectively gave Pure Prairie League a brand name, but by the time of Bustin Out, Fuller and Powell were left to run the group using session musicians. This album proved to be one of the best and most underrated records produced in country rock. A single from the album, "Amie," was a US hit. The group achieved a surprise US Top 10 hit in 1980 with "Let Me Love You Tonight." In 2005, Pure Prairie League released All in Good Time. They continue to tour the world.
