A short-lived band that captured the counterculture moment with blues-tinged hard rock.
If you want to hear what they were about, 'No Room In Hell' and 'Stranger' give you the full picture, rough vocals, bluesy guitar, and that early '70s LA rock feel.
Easy Rider's music still surfaces on streaming services and compilations decades later, which says something about the staying power of that early '70s sound. Songs like 'No Room In Hell' have that rough vocal quality from Johnny Rebel that feels authentic to the period. They weren't huge, but they documented a particular moment when Los Angeles rock was blending hard edges with folk and blues touches.
The band formed in Los Angeles in 1970 and released four albums between 1971 and 1974, including 'Highway to Nowhere' in 1972. They played a mix of hard rock with blues and folk touches during the early 1970s counterculture period before disappearing from the scene.
