    Pure Prairie League

    Share
    Facebook Twitter Pinterest WhatsApp Reddit Email

    These country rock musicians from Ohio River Valley/Kentucky stock (named after the women’s temperance union in the Errol Flynn classic, Dodge City) released two albums – the country rock Pure Prairie League and the more rock-oriented Bustin’ Out – before vanishing, only to appear suddenly on the singles charts in 1975 with Amie, a fresh breath of country air culled from the latter LP.

    Regrouping and re-signing with RCA, the sextet released the new album, Two Lane Highway (1975)

    Former leader Craig Fuller was gone after an unsuccessful bout with the draft board, but George Ed Powell and new lead guitarist Larry Goshorn continued the spirit of the old League, making the album a worthy companion to the likes of The Byrds‘ Sweetheart Of The Rodeo and other gems of the genre.

    Happy 81st to Anita Harris 🫶

    Happy 81st to Anita Harris 🫶Happy 81st Birthday to Anita Harris, born 3rd June 1942 in Somerset, England. She is an all round entertainer, singer/dancer/actress.
    As a child she was a keen ice skater, and just before her 16th birthday she was talent spotted and invited to join a dance troupe and headed for Las Vegas, performing 3 shows a night. She stayed 6 months.

    While she enjoyed dancing, singing was always her first love. Upon returning to England she joined the Cliff Adams Singers and was with them for 3 years. In 1961 she made her first recordings with the John Barry Seven. Possibly two of her best known recordings are 'Just Loving You' and 'We're Going on a Tuppenny Bus Ride'.

    In the 1960's She appeared in a two 'Carry On' films. On TV in the 70's among other things she was on David Nixon's Magic Box for 8 years as his assistant. She continued working on stage and screen with entertainment legends – everyone from Bob Monkhouse and Tommy Cooper to Bruce Forsyth, Morecambe and Wise and Harry Secombe. In 1986 she made her debut in 'legitimate theatre' playing Grizabella in the West End production of Cats.
    Today she continues to perform on stage and in cabaret with her band. You can hear her recordings on
    serenade-radio.com the Best in Easy Listening.

    I recently fulfilled the dream of over 40 years and saw The Zombies perform live (They were amazing!). Their current bass player is a chap called Søren Koch, and this is his regular band - The Beatophonics. If you love 60s Beat music, do yourself a favour and have a listen. They are truly superb. open.spotify.com/artist/5W05FY5rERtVTBippPjold?si=nU5zM8gJSXONAGCWOUrTnA
