The Long Ryders were formed Thanksgiving 1981 by four musicians in Los Angeles influenced by Gram Parsons and the Byrds, country, and punk rock. The band featured friends and co-founders Sid Griffin (guitar, autoharp, harmonica and vocals) and Greg Sowders (drums and percussion); recent Virginia transplant Stephen McCarthy on guitar, steel guitar, mandolin, banjo, and vocals; and Barry Shank, bass and vocals. Bass player Shank quit early on to return to graduate school for his doctorate and was replaced by Des Brewer. This line-up recorded and released an EP in 1983 called 10-5-60 (PVC Records) produced by ex-Sparks’ guitarist and former Beach Boys’ engineer, Earle Mankey. The EP was so well received they toured the U.S., but not before Brewer had dropped out and was replaced by Tom Stevens, solidifying the now-classic Long Ryders’ line-up. Signed to the (then) hip indie label Frontier Records, the band recorded their debut album Native Sons with the acclaimed Henry Lewy (Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison) producing. More importantly to the band, Lewy had also worked with the Flying...
