	TrouserPress.com :: Long Ryders
		Born in the South but assembled in California, the Long Ryders (who broke up around the end of 1987) color mild '60s revivalism with country stylings (steel guitar, autoharp, mandolin, etc.) on the five-song 10 — 5 — 60 EP, produced by Earle Mankey.
		The Long Ryders found solid footing again with the less selfconscious Two Fisted Tales, an enjoyable album nicely produced in a variety of appealing styles by Ed Stasium.
		Metallic B.O., a spirited cassette-only hodgepodge of live covers, interview snippets and general fooling around, was assembled posthumously by the Long Ryders' fan club (and subsequently issued in abbreviated CD form by a British label).

		The Long Ryders are: Sid Griffin guitar, harmonica, autoharp, bugle & vocals, Greg Sowders drums, percussion & song publishing, Tom Stevens bass, acoustic bass, computer genius & vocals and Stephen McCarthy main guitar, banjo, carpentry, mandolin, lap steel & vocals.
		The Long Ryders were formed in late November 1982 out of the ashes of the Los Angeles punk scene.
		Together the Long Ryders and Lewy came up with an album called a modern American classic by Melody Maker and soon found themselves on the cover of the New Musical Express as well as playing live on the BBCs Whistle Test TV show.

	Guardian \| The Long Ryders
		The Byrds' (So You Wanna Be a) Rock'n'roll Star is forgiveable, since without the Byrds the Long Ryders probably wouldn't exist and, since their initial demise at the end of the 1980s, guitarist Sid Griffin has made himself an authority on Byrds lynchpins Gram Parsons and Gene Clark.
		That the Long Ryders have reformed to promote an effective greatest hits compilation and still have a palpable sense of being out of step is emphasised when Griffin recounts with some vehemence how the band were presented with a ludicrously crass video treatment for And She Rides, a soaring, psychedelic pop song.
		This is the Long Ryders at their best: the still-lovely, infinitely bittersweet Ivory Tower ("she's protected from misery"), the joyously self-explanatory I Want You Bad.

		Long Ryders is on the top of the list "Great Bands You've Never Heard Of" - alongside with bands like Del Lords, Plimsouls and Del Fuegos.
		Taking song-by-song, it's not the Long Ryders' best efffort, but for the most underrated, unheard band of the 80s, this is still strong.
		Seriously, though, the Ryders had their fingers on the pulse of the everyman.

	Rock Ahead: DVD Album - The Long Ryders - Rockin' At the Roxy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		For many in the eighties the Long Ryders were the logical successors to the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers.
		Whilst the audiences dress sense dates this concert somewhat the same cannot be said of the music, which still sounds young, brash and exciting and has a sort of classic timeless appeal; which is something other bands of the era in retrospect don't match up to.
		The material will be familiar to fans of the Long Ryders and is sure to win converts over who either missed out at the time or perhaps came to the band through Sid Griffin's subsequent work with the Coal Porters or Western Electric.

		The Long Ryders were one of the greatest bands to come out of L.A. during the 1980s.
		Coming from the long-lamented paisley underground scene, which included such bands as the Dream Syndicate, the Bangles, and Rain Parade, the Ryders were easily the tightest, and well-deserving of their major-label deal with Island Records, following their brilliant debut for Frontier in 1984.
		Tracks such as Ryders founder Sid Griffin's "Final Wild Son" and bassist Tom Stephens' "Years Long Ago" capture the essence of the band, which can almost be compared to a meeting of the Flying Burrito Brothers, Neil Young, and the Sex Pistols.

	Long Ryders - Native Sons (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Native Sons was the first full-length album by the Long Ryders and the one that established their eclectic mixture of Byrds/Clash/Flying Burrito Brothers` influences but including the 10-5-60 EP as well, 17 total tracks.
		Native Sons lovingly captures the band`s musical obsessions, while turning in an original sound that became the banner for both the paisley underground and cow punk styles in the mid-`80s....
		On Native Sons, the Long Ryders pioneered a musical design that future alternative roots rockers would use as a manual.

		The Ryders were a college radio fave back in the early '80's, but, aside from some moderate success in Europe, never made much of an impact here in the States.

		The Long Ryders, for example, burned briefly but brightly in the mid-80’s, playing a punk-country hybrid to a world full of DX7 synths and Flock Of Seagulls hairstyles, a decade before the generation of bands they inspired found themselves christened as the Alternative Country movement and granted their own rack in the mega-store.
		Jeff Tweedy of Wilco and Chris Robinson of The Black Crows number amongst The Long Ryders’ famous fans and the major label roots rockers The Jayhawks, who used to open for them, recently recruited their former co-frontman Stephen McCarthy to their own ranks.
		The Long Ryders play the Glastonbury Festival and The SpydaFest, Portland on June 26th, followed by London Dingwalls 29th and 30th, Nottingham Rescue Rooms July 1st, Manchester Academy 2nd, Glasgiw King Tuts 3rd, Leeds Irish Centre 7th, Bristol Fleece 8th.

	The Long Ryders @ Academy 3
		THE Long Ryders rode back into town last night, shook off the dust of the intervening years and took me straight back to a simpler time: the mid-eighties.
		While their contemporaries were all lycra and perms, the Long Ryders served up the sort of fare you would hope to find when you finally made that fantasy road trip across the States and pulled over at some weather-beaten roadhouse far out in the Badlands.
		The Ryders took a little time to get warmed up, mostly due to a lone drunken heckler who persisted in making a fool of himself, but by the time they were into Run Dusty Run the band were firing on all six-string cylinders.

		When he became disillusioned with The Unclaimed, he advertised for new band members and The Long Ryders were formed.
		After The Long Ryders split, Sid formed The Coal Porters and eventually moved to England where he has continued to make music with The Coal Porters, plus issuing a solo album and new material under the band name Western Electric.
		Returning to Indiana after the break up of The Long Ryders, Tom has continued to produce solo albums and has played and recorded with Chris Cacavas and Jack Waterson.

	Tom Stevens Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		During his long and prolific musical career, Tom Stevens has recorded over a dozen albums, both solo and with Magi, The Long Ryders, Danny and Dusty, Chris Cacavas and Junk Yard Love and Jack Waterson.
		Writing songs at a furious pace, he "made a zillion copies of a demo and passed it to anyone who I thought wouldn't tape over it." This led to the release of Points of View, a six-song 12" EP whose songs were later represented on 1997's Points Revisited.
		Most recently, Tom has taken part in The Long Ryders' successful reunion tour of Europe, with more Long Ryders shows in the works, as well as playing gigs in the Midwest with both his acoustic and electric bands.

		While best known as the leader the Long Ryders, as a musician, songwriter, producer, author, and archivist, Griffin has become a pivotal member of the roots rock movement, both in the United States and the United Kingdom.
		While Griffin's musical enthusiasms continued to be rooted in the 1960s, he began to nurture a passionate interest in folk-rock and country-rock, in particular the sounds of the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers.

	The Long Ryders - The Best Of The Long Ryders - Review - Uncut.co.uk
		Twenty years ago, the likes of The Jayhawks and Lucinda Williams used to open for The Long Ryders, then leaders of LA's "Paisley Underground", and their shotgun marriage of punk and country paved the way for much of what's happened since.
		Tracks such as "Gunslinger Man" and "Looking For Lewis And Clark" are pure Strummer-meets-Haggard, while "Lights Of Downtown" and "I Had A Dream" demonstrate their debt to the Byrds/Burritos legacy.

		Steve Wynn completed the early line up, but was replaced by Stephen McCarthy on leaving to form The Dream Syndicate.
		As Part of the L.A. "Paisley Underground" movement, The Long Ryders' history is closely linked with other guitar-oriented bands, although their sound was always more explicitly 'country' than their contemporaries.
		The album "Native Sons" suggested a promising future, but the band was unable to repeat it's balance of melody and purpose and the group finally broke up in 1987.

		Because for the bulk of the '80s, Sid Griffin, Stephen McCarthy, Greg Sowders, and Tom Stevens lived hand-to-mouth, Gram Parsons in one ear and the Rolling Stones in the other, trying to preach to the not yet converted.
		From 10-5-60 in 1983 to 1987's Two Fisted Tales, the Ryders released 5 albums and played the world over, ending their career with great reviews, but no money.
		Griffin has enjoyed some success recently with his Coal Porters, and with the release of this anthology, perhaps some of the long deserved recognition will finally land at their feet.

		The group was founded by Kentucky native Sid Griffin, a Parsons devotee who moved to Los Angeles after hearing about that city's punk scene, with guitarist Stephen McCarthy and drummer Greg Sowders.
		The Long Ryders' 1983 debut EP, 10-5-60, was a blend of punk attitude, '60s rock, and traditional country (Griffin played steel guitar, autoharp, and mandolin).
		Reeling from the defections of Stevens in June of 1987 and McCarthy in September, and unhappy with Island's promotional efforts and seeming disregard for the group, the Long Ryders called it quits on December 15, 1987.

		The opening track suggests that the Long Ryders picked up a strain of the 'ballsy rock' disease that infected later albums from the Dream Syndicate (e.g., "Medicine Man").
		Overall, this retains many of the Long Ryders best qualities: punchy electric guitar and drums mixed with a bit of jangle in a Byrds-like way (may the Rickenbacker 12-string never die), some nice acoustic guitar and mandolin playing, and great background vocals and harmonies.
		But despite their maturation as a band, there nothing here as compelling as their first few releases.
