“PPL don't simply coast…(the band) proves you can go back”

- Goldmine

Country rockers Pure Prairie League take their name from an obscure 19th-century temperance union mentioned in the 1939 film Dodge City. But this uniquely American band, with its 40-year career, escaped obscurity long ago. It took a number of years for PPL, formed by vocalist /songwriter/guitarist Craig Fuller, to have their first hit, “Amie”, but what a huge hit it was. Other hits followed, such as “Fallin' In And Out Of Love”, “Two Lane Highway”, “Let Me Love You Tonight”, and “Early Morning Riser.” These songs, the band’s iconic Norman Rockwell style album covers, and a non-stop touring schedule have cemented PPL’s relationship with their legion of fans.

Somewhere along the line, Fuller left to replace Lowell George in Little Feat, but the Pure Prairie League legend continued to grow with Mike Reilly, as well as with current country superstar Vince Gill, who was part of PPL for a short time. Fuller eventually returned and has been back for more than a decade, and PPL continues to tour and to treat us to music that sounds as good today as it did when they first performed.  "People come to hear the music the way it was played back then," Fuller asserts. "We may have improved upon the fidelity, but when we do a song off one of our records, we do it just like it was recorded."
