My favourite band! Never given the credit they deserve!

Dave Hall

Sid worked @ JEM West, me at JEM East. Band was great--this track AWESOME!

Interesting that three of the greatest "live performance" rock 'n' roll bands of all time featured folks from the little burg of Louisville Kentucky: My Morning Jacket, NRBQ and The Long Ryders! Way to represent the 'Ville, Sid. Must be something in the water (or bourbon).

I saw them around 1985 in Liverpool Uni with That Petrol Emotion supporting, Outstanding gig & a great night

i agree with MRWOLF1964...saw the long ryders at birmingham late85-early 86 just awesome....and green on red suppoting them...what a night!

Stacy Nevitt

Classic from the 80's. Pointy toed boots and jangly Rickenbacker guitars.

One thing that made the 'Ryders stand out is that both Sid and Stephen were equally comfortable playing rhythm or lead parts. In fact, both are essentially playing rhythm parts in this song - Sid's conjuring Roger McGuinn and Stephen playing a supremely dirty fuzzfest with a short solo over the top at the end. Very simple, yet incredibly innovative and fresh.

Steve Fulton

The lead guitar on this song might have single-handedly got me through the 80's

The Paisley Underground movement - remarkable guitar sounds on this track & in general for this group The Smiths were bridled with this genre for a while out in LA & The 3 O'clock appear to have had more than a passing influence on The Stone Roses - perhaps a little odd; Detroit & Chicago can easily be associated with Manchester - Los Angeles would seem a bit of a stretch, particularly in the 1980's

"long time no blow dry...what can i say" best ever

PliskinLee

Remind me of the Byrds.

Michael Johnson

One of the greatest bands that ever lived.

I saw these guys when they opened for the Alarm back in 86.They blew everyone away with their set. This song sticks out in my mind because this one had everyone, including the nay sayers, on their feet. They drew out the guitar jam at the end like it was their last moment here on earth and they were going out with a bang. God bless the Long Ryders.

Alex Reilly

Mixing a retro country sound with the alternative rock sound of the eighties. Not bad. I like the extended jam at the end too.

CesMan83

I first about the Long Ryders from reading celebrated crime novelist George Pelecanos' classic "A Firing Offense"...Pelecanos described the Ryders as "The Eagles with balls"...haha, I can definitely second that notion!

goldbugnz

absolutely fantastic song. Everything works.

DaWalk

The Long Ryders' Native Sons was the very first CD with any kind of country music I ever bought a couple years back. I bought it mainly for their Paisley Underground/neo-psychedelic and country-rock material and then ended up actually liking the whole CD. Never thought I'd really get into any country music at all seriously.

Clyde Kimsey

Listening to these guys is more proof that RnR died in the late 80s. They are soooo good!!!

David Allen

I totally agree with chuckschilling--this IS a good video! People forget how primitive video was back then. This is actually impressively sophisticated--rdsphotos, you did a great job. And what a fantastic song--in my opinion this is perhaps the best song to come out of the whole LA post-punk scene. A perfect fusion of 60's Byrds jangle and melody with the fury of punk.
