Author: playthatpodcast December 3, 2024 Duration: 1:00:14
This is Play That Rock n' Roll's interview with Mike Reilly, longtime member and now owner/manager of PURE PRAIRIE LEAGUE! Mike visited the show to discuss the band's first album in nearly twenty years, "BACK ON TRACK"! In this conversation, we discuss what motivated them to release a new album, the songs they recorded for it, and the surprising backstory of some of those songs! We also talk about PPL’s history with Vince Gill, their iconic “Sad Luke” album artwork, and how a YouTuber from the UK helped introduce their music to a new generation of fans! And somehow, we even ended up talking about what it would take to get Pure Prairie League to play the Sphere in Las Vegas.

Ever put on a record and feel like you're stepping into a different time? That's the space where Play That Rock n‘ Roll lives. This isn't just a playlist or a dry history lesson. It's a conversation about the music that built an era, hosted by playthatpodcast. Each episode digs into the albums that defined generations, the artists who lived the myth, and the often-overlooked stories behind the anthems we all know by heart. We're talking about the raw energy of the late '60s, the sprawling ambition of the '70s, and the seismic shifts that followed. You'll hear about the studio experiments that went wrong (and sometimes brilliantly right), the cultural moments that shaped the songs, and the legacies that continue to echo. It's for anyone who wants to go deeper than the greatest hits, to understand not just what was played, but why it still matters. This podcast is a part of Pantheon Podcasts, offering a dedicated look at the soundtrack of a revolution. So, crank it up and join us as we revisit the riffs, the solos, and the sheer attitude that made classic rock an enduring force. New episodes drop regularly, ready to fuel your next deep dive into music history.
