New Riders of the Purple Sage’s Gypsy Cowboy is an early-70s country rock recording that blends pedal steel guitar with laid-back West Coast songwriting. The album moves between easygoing rhythms, melodic hooks and a roots-driven sound. Highlights include “Gypsy Cowboy,” “Whatcha Gonna Do,” and “Groupie,” capturing the band’s relaxed, touring-era feel.
