Farewell Angelina ------   Album Notes and Credits Notes & Personnel Info New Riders of the Purple Sage: John Dawson (vocals, guitar, autoharp, mouth bow, percussion, siren); David Nelson (Dahveed Ben Israel) (vocals, guitars, percussion, tuning forks); Buddy Cage (vocals, pedal steel guitar); Skip Battin (vocals, bass guitar, percussion); Spencer Dryden (vocals, drums, percussion). By the time of this, their sixth album, the New Riders of the Purple Sage had deteriorated to the point of recording novelty songs like "I Heard You've Been Layin' My Old Lady" and aging standards like "La Bamba." They managed to talk old friend Jerry Garcia into sitting in on a few songs, but that was no indication that they were back at the level of their first album. Rather, Oh, What a Mighty Time sounded like the work of a competent Marin County bar band, which is pretty much what the New Riders were by this time. The album, their worst seller thus far, was their last for Columbia Records. ~ William Ruhlmann   Compilation Appearances Fillmore-Last Days Rebel Rock Rockin' 70s Vietnam War Years: vol 1 Top Of The Pop Hits:70's Vol 2   Associated Artists and Works Poco   Technical Info Release Date : 01/08/2008 Original Release Date : 1975 Catalog ID : BGOCD781 Label : Beat Goes On Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 50172612078144    Product Image
