In dialogue it is more than a tad above Gene, Roy, and Tex, etc., all of whom i deeply enjoy. The story will keep you interested from top to bottom. The background music is quite good, even if it does not include the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
#Riders of the purple sage movie
The movie is up to its eyeballs in philosophy, but it is not so deep that the residents of Dolt City would be confused. Jack Benny work beautifully together as they help make sense out of Zane Grey's, "Riders Of the Purple Sage." Unfortunately, that wonderful all-west title was borrowed by some sort of psychedelic band calling themselves, "New Riders of the Purple Sage." I'll stick to the old riders, thank you just as the movie sticks closely to the original book.
He is joined by another past employee of Page, Mike Ley (Vocals, Guitar, Mandolin, Harmonicas), Evan Marshall (Vocals, Mandolin, Fiddle), Jimmy Harris (Vocals, Bass), and Landon McCoy (Drums)-although the personnel often change for live concerts.Mr. The band is fronted by Cody Bryant (Vocals, Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin). The latest incarnation of the group was first called "Foy Willing's Riders of the Purple Sage." It was formed in 2003 (with the encouragement of Willing's widow Sharon Willing) by former members of Buck Page's "Riders", and currently plays mostly in Southern California. This band released three CDs and toured the cowboy festival circuit until c. In the early 1960s, Page, who relocated to California after World War II, once again organized his "Riders of the Purple Sage" band. Page's earlier Riders of the Purple Sage is often incorrectly credited with the film appearances and recordings by Willing's band. Willing's band performed in several movies during the 1940s and had a string of hit recordings. Military service then interrupted their careers during World War II.Ī third band known as "Riders of the Purple Sage" was organized in California, by Foy Willing, a radio DJ and singer from Texas, while Buck Page and his "Riders" were in the military. They brought the name and Western three part harmony to the Country on Coast to Coast radio. In 1938 the band went to New York City and performed on radio station WOR and at various venues such as the famous nightclub called the Village Barn. Set in mid-spring to late-summer in 1871 Utah, the story follows Jane Withersteen, a young woman struggling to triumph over persecution by the polygamous flock of her Mormon fundamentalist church. Page's group spent three years as the staff band for radio station KDKA in Pittsburgh, performing five hour-long shows each week. Riders of the Purple Sage is the 1912 western novel written by American author Zane Grey. With Page on the East Coast and Dalton on the West Coast, and because Page was a child when the Dalton "Riders" were playing, it is uncertain if either knew of each other's band. Īnother "Riders of the Purple Sage" was formed in 1936 by singer and guitarist Buck Page. It existed for approximately two years in the Los Angeles area.
The first "Riders of the Purple Sage" band was formed by Jack Dalton in 1932. The name originally came from the title of Zane Grey's very popular 1912 novel Riders of the Purple Sage. These bands also inspired the naming of a fourth band playing in a more psychedelic country style, the New Riders of the Purple Sage. Riders of the Purple Sage was a name used by three separate western bands in the United States. Not to be confused with New Riders of the Purple Sage.
