Free Music Notes for Easy Rider - Deluxe Edition

Free Music Review: STAR SPANGLED AMERICAN ROCK AND ROLL -DELUX!-
Hit: 5 Stars

A few questions come to mind about this DELUX version of the Easy Rider soundtrack. Mainly, why is it so much more expensive then the regular version (currently 7.97 here at Amazon compared to this 29.99) Well, I guess the fact that there is an extra disc of songs could be a good answer... I've owned the old Easy Rider soundtrack on vinyl for as long as I can remember, and its great stuff to have. I never considered a 2ND disc! Hows this work? Well apparently the second disc is comprised of songs that weren't actually in the film, but inspired by the film (even though quite a few of them came out years before the film was even released..) STILL though. This is a pretty good catch, if you've never owned the original... its more than likely that you don't own a lot of songs on either disc, and may just want to check this out... because these are all goods from the psychedelic sixties/ earthy late sixties.

Disc one is the original collection, comprised of ten songs and runs less than forty minutes. It is however, one of my oldest favorites... the Easy Rider soundtrack is pretty much the first step to being a hippie wannabee for the post baby boom generations. Steppenwolf opens it up with BORN TO BE WILD, but shows that were a pretty rad band with the ode to evil drugs in THE PUSHER... classic! "You know I smmmmmmmoked aaaaaalot a grasssss... oh lord I popped a lotta a pillllssssss...." good stuff. THE WEIGHT as covered by band SMITH, sounds quite like the original version by the BAND.. I suppose this probably had to do with copywrite issues in the day, possibly why Roger McGuinns cover of ITS ALLRIGHT MA is here too instead of the original Dylan version, however Mcguinns version of that tune has its own charm to it (plus it includes the exploding motorcycle from the end of the movie...) Mcguinn is also responsible for THE BALLAD OF EASY RIDER and a classic Byrds song WASNT BORN TO FOLLOW (ever notice that in the early sixties he went by the name Jim Mcguinn?) anyway, thats one of my favorite Byrds tunes. You get a few goofball tracks like WANNA BE A BIRD and DONT BOGART THAT JOINT, a great Hendrix tune and a little weirdness from The Electric Prunes.. all in all a good mix.

Disc two plays like a sixties hits comp, with obvious hits like WHITE RABBIT and GROOVIN. But there are some good rarities too. Electric Prunes HAD TO MUCH TO DREAM is a cool sixties number, The Seeds PUSHIN TO HARD, rules... Blues Magoos, Procol Harum, Richie Havens... all good stuff. You even get The Bands real version of THE WEIGHT. Can't complain.

Great start for anybody infatuated with the sixties rock and roll... you'll be talking like Dennis Hopper in no time, man!

Easy Rider - Deluxe Edition Poster

After 1968's political assassinations and street riots, the once vaunted idealism the 60's went south for good in 1969. The artistic metaphors for the unraveling of The Age of Aquarius encompassed variously Gimme Shelter, the documentary of The Stones' disastrous Altamont free concert, and Dennis Hopper's idealism-gone-sour road picture, Easy Rider. It's rock score was an instant counter-culture classic, a collection anchored by Steppenwolf's road anthem chestnut "Born to Be Wild" and its cautionary "The Pusher," a song that underscored the film's frank portrayal of drug use (one that's given a more lighthearted hearing on Fraternity of Man's "Don't Bogart Me"). Other standouts include the Holy Modal Rounders' loopy "If You Want To Be A Bird" and Byrds' leader Roger McGuinn's "Ballad of Easy Rider" and faithful cover of Dylan's "It's Alright , Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)." Licensing concerns kept the soundtrack from compact disc until 2000, but this deluxe, slip-cased double-disc set not only expands on that edition's shortcoming (returning The Band's version of "The Weight" to its rightful place), but adds an additional 18 emblematic tracks "inspired" by the film and its turbulent times. While some of these are either a bit too obvious (The Seeds' "Pushin' Too Hard") or themeatically inappropriate (The Who's "I Can See For Miles"), gems like Thunderclap Newman's haunting "Something In the Air" make it more inviting. --Jerry McCulley
