The Chocolate Watchband or The Thirteenth Floor Elevators were psychedelic but New Riders of the Purple Sage?

anyone who plays a pedal steel or dobro while high on uncle Sidney or psylociben or peyote

the harsher acid laced California sound of the 60s mired in thundering blues and or trippy spacey meanderings more often than not morphed into cowboy or mountain music

Gram Parsons was a big part of that as well as Marmaduke...I think it was a natural progression (refuge maybe?) for tired minds

worked for me...who knows had Syd Barret or Peter Green gone country rock instead of where they went , things might have worked out better...the perils of being English I guess

Like Manassas. That first album of theirs was an all-timer.
