Pure Prairie League

O Pure Prairie League foi formado em 1969 em Columbus, Ohio, e cujo nome deriva de uma personagem do filme "Dodge City" (1939) de Errol Flynn. Começou tocando nos arredores de Cincinati até conseguir um contrato com a gravadora RCA. Apesar de não ter conseguido boas vendas em seus primeiros álbuns, ter perdido o contrato com a gravadora e das inúmeras trocas de componentes o PPL conseguiu manter-se ativo e com um som bem característico, conseguindo muitos fãs no meio-oeste americano, voltando a fazer sucesso quando então em meados de 1975 voltou a gravar e excursionar até que em 1979 decidiram mudar de gravadora, passando para a Casablanca Records. Isto acabou decretando o fim do PPL quando em 1981 a Casablanca faliu e o PPL apesar de continuar fazendo shows acabou encerrando as atividades em 1987. Em 1998 Craig Fuller e Mike Reilly resolveram reeditar a banda que permanece na ativa até hoje.
