RIP. NRPS get shit talked a lot, often in the same breath as Commander Cody, but between the s/t LP, Powerglide and Gypsy Cowboy... great band.

I recently announced Dawson's death on this thread
Love the New Riders, especially Dawson's tunes. I wrote up a tribute for the Rhapsody Blog, which also has a playlist full of his songwriting: http://blog.rhapsody.com/2009/07/the-last-lonely-eagle-john-marmaduke-dawson.html
Indeed. The New Riders' contributions to country-rock can't be overestimated. Much like the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, they sold way more records than Gram and the Burritos.

Good stuff, QN. I was mildly surprised the New Riders had no thread of their own but that thread makes sense as a home for the news.

kind of a shame, that - always thought they brought their own take to the fried western feel & they could really pick imo
