Product Details

John Dawson founded New Riders of the Purple Sage out of the same late-60s San Francisco scene that birthed the Dead, with Jerry Garcia sitting in on pedal steel on their earliest recordings. By the time *Where I Come from* arrived in 2009, the band had been carrying that cosmic country torch for four decades, and the reunion of David Nelson with Robert Hunter, one of rock's great lyricists, gives this set a genuine sense of homecoming rather than nostalgia.

This CD features 12 new songs, seven of which were written by David Nelson and Grateful Dead lyricist Robert Hunter. Also included are Carl Perkins Wears the Crown, an ode to the rockabilly king. Two live show favorites Higher and Olivia Rose, as well as a cover of Minglewood Blues. Where I Come from is psychedelic Americana at it's finest.
