K K CI I Y breakthrough at the start of the '70s with such hits as the lilting "Amy." But it's still country which provides them their bread and butter. "We're just playing music that makes people feel good," group mainstay Mike Reilly told an interviewer recently. "I'd say it's countrified coun-trified Midwestern rock. The boys in the band grew up listening to country music in the Ohio River Valley, but there are also more James Brown and r&b band influences in-fluences than most people will admit. People are ready for a little bit of laid back and good times music. They got through the dance thing and the angry young man thing. Timing-wise, it worked out well for us because our music is all positive." The band has had a relatively lengthy history, at least in terms of the ever changing pop music scene. The group started out as a bar band in Kentucky and Ohio. Their first album came out in 1971. The release of their second disc "Bustin' Out" the following year provided pro-vided their big breakthrough hit, "Amy." A countryesque ballad featuring beautiful, billowing vocal harmonies, "Amy" was an AM radio staple for months on end. "Bustin' Out" was the group's first gold album, selling well over one million copies. On Labor Day 1972, Pure Prairie League played at one of the last big outdoor rock festivals, the Soda Pop Festival at Bull Island, Illinois where nearly a quarter million fans got to see them along with such other artists of note as Richie Havens, Canned Heat and Ten Years After. By the mid-'70s the band was still quite active both on the road and in the studio. In 1975 they released the quite successful "Two Lane Highway." High-way." The following year they put out "If the Shoe Fits" which contained a nicely executed version of Buddy Holly's "That'll Be the Day" which became a hit when released as a single. In 1977 the band released two albums. "Dance" was followed by a two-record live greatest hits package called "Takin' the Stage." In 1978 they released "Just Fly" which was highlighted by a reworked version of Lee Dorsey's "Workin' in a Coal Mine." A few months back the band put out the highly successful "Firin' Up" album al-bum which spawned the Top 10 blockbuster, "Let Me Love You Tonight." The song showed that the band's patented harmonies were still firmly intact but that their musical focus had shifted towards easy listening listen-ing pop. Their most recent album is "Something in the Night" whose content ranges from lilting country swing to uptempo rockers. In reference to "Something "Some-thing in the Night," the band's tenth album, group leader Reilly muses, "We are letting our hair down a bit. Our sound may come from the '60s, but I think it's becoming increasingly pb-i vious that we're an up-to-date, '80s rock 'n' roll band, not just a soft country band. There's a lot of different sides to us. Every time we record an album, we try to do a variety of different types of music. We always try to do more than anyone expects us to. "We've tried to remain consistent and do what we do well," Reilly continues. "Maybe nobody knows who Mike Reilly is. There isn't an outrageous member of the band we don't project that image. We're just playing music that makes people feel good." Pure Prairie League will appear at the Cowboy Bar Wednesday, Feb. 16 through Saturday, Feb. 19. There will be one show each night on Wednesday and Thursday, beginning at 9 p.m. There will be two shows each night Friday and Saturday at 8 and 11p.m. Tickets are $10 and available avail-able at the Cowboy Bar liquor store as well as in Salt Lake at Cosmic Aeroplane, Smokey's Records, all ZCMIs, and the Salt Palace. randing Iron RESTAURANT Enjoy panoramic mountain views and a superb menu, featuring: steak, chicken, veal, halibut, Chuck Wagon Salad Bar, daily German special, Branding Iron cheese soup Reservations: 649-1726 Parties up to 80 accepted.
