6A — PATENT TRADER Saturday, Dec. 2, 1972 •V- T+tE-BEST-QN-RfCORD\ BY VICTORIA HELLER They mix tradition with today Pure Prairie League \Bustin' Out\ RCA LSP-4769 Pure Prairie League The name evokes daydreams of the Old West, Conestoga wagons, corrals, cowboys hunched around a fire singing softly In fact, it was the name of a woman's temperance league in an old Errol Flynn movie, and is now the name of a three-man band But the daydream per sists, particularly when you hear PPL's second album, \Bustin' Out.\ It represents a return to the plains, to the sim plicity of country music, to the notion that big city music (and living) is too impersonal. The members of PPL—Craig Lee Fuller, George Ed. Powell, William Frank Hinds—are not from the big cities. Preferring a rural atmosphere, they found a home in the hills outside of Toronto, complete with trees and horses, while they recorded the album (in Toronto). What helps to keep a heritage alive is to mix the best of tradi tion with the best of today. PPL has relied heavily on the guitar, an instrument with roots in 12th Century Spain and, more re cently, in the hills of Virginia and the prairies, and combined that sound with the excitement of 20th Century electronics. But the purity of country prevails, and the result is a carefully selected nine songs (all but two by Mr. Fuller). Mind you, this is not the Grand Ole Opry, the popularity of which I have never understood. What PPL has done is to take slide guitars, a snatch of gospel, some lyrical violins, rock drums and bass— but not all at the same time It depends entirely on the song. \Angel No. 9\ uses slide guitar to slip from one chord to another (Al Brisco plays that Another Gourmet Delight from the new Master Chef of FISHERMAN'S PLATTER AFRICAN LOBSTER TAIL, BAKED STUFFED SHRIMP and BAKED CLAMS CASINO with Baked Potato or French Fries serve yourself to your heart's content from our Salad and Antipasto Bar Klsro Avenue Exi t Saw Mill River P« All this for only 7.25 (914) 241-2600 OF MOUNT KISCO.

My Heart Alone\ is a mixture of mounr tain and rock, with gospel girl singers. \Early Mornings Riser\ teases at the end by fading out, and then fading in again, as if remembering to play something forgotten. For real whimsy and loveli ness, \Falling In and Out of Love\ is a song that lingers. The melody is subtle and magical, backed by guitars playing arpeggios. The vocal harmonies squeeze together and let go, and the entire effect is spellbinding. The next song, \Amie is lilting, very folk and western, with several guitars. There is a colorful acoustic guitar solo, and the song ends in a reprise of \Falling In and Out of Love.\ \Boulder Skies,\ a touching love song (dedicated, it says on the album cover, \with great love to a Colorado lady\) brings a lump to the throat. On this song, the pro ducer, Robert Ringe, has pulled out all the romantic stops- echo chamber, lush violins, marvelous piano—and it works. All the songs have a logical progression to the last cut, \Call Me, Tell Me,\ that has the most thrilling arrangement I've heard in some time— guitars frantically strumming, and a huge symphonic finish. This record satisfies all the split level senses of sound; it's a perfect Christmas present for yourself. on the Bedford-Greenwich Road, in Banksville, N. serving steak, lobster, crab and cocktails 7 nights from 5 pm, Sunday from 1 pm.
