The Long Ryders/Joe Nolan

A psychedelic country band that was popular in its Los Angeles hometown in the early '80s, the Long Ryders put out a couple of influential albums before disbanding in 1987. The group has reformed on occasion since its dissolution and just reissued Psychedelic Country Soul, its first album of new material in 33 years, earlier this year. The disc kicks off with the Byrds-like "Greenville," a foot-stomping song that features harmony vocals and driving guitars, and serves as a solid return to form. (Niesel)
