New Riders of the Purple Sage

Purple Sage were either named after a strain of weed, or a strain of weed has been named in their honor. Who can remember? More of a chicken-egg thing. One thing is for certain: Every chooglin' hippie band of the 1960s is congregating in Chicago on Fourth of July to catch a commercial contact high off the massive Grateful Dead reunion/farewell. NROTPS shared a lot of members with the Dead, and leaned a little more country and bluegrass.
