Native Sons

Native Sons was the 1984 release by the Long Ryders, the founders of alt-country and cornerstone of what we now call Americana. It was a hugely influential album which Jeff Tweedy (Wilco) and Chris Robinson (Black Crowes) have both praised publicly. It was a number one Alternative/College Radio album in the USA and was the New Musical Express' number two Alternative LP chart entry only because the Smiths' Meat Is Murder was at the top spot. Acknowledged as a classic this reissue comes with the band's previous release, the EP 10-5-60's tracks as well as some extremely rare material from the same heady years when Native Sons was new and is newly remastered.
