About
The New Riders' second album introduced key member Buddy Cage on pedal steel, strengthening the country-rock sound that they were still building on with tunes like the sunny "Rainbow" and the lambent "Lochinvar." But <i>Powerglide</i> also found the band stretching out, cutting other people's tunes for the first time, and venturing into classic honky-tonk ("Dim Lights, Thick Smoke [and Loud, Loud Music]"), R&B ("I Don't Need No Doctor"), and old-school rock 'n' roll ("Willie and the Hand Jive").
