The James Gang : James Gang Rides Again


UH, SLEEP ALL DAY
OUT ALL NIGHT
I KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING



James Gang Rides Again

 (alternatively known as simply Rides Again)

is the second 

studio album

 by American

 Rock band

The James Gang

The album was 

released on the label 

ABC Records

It is

 the James Gang's

 first album

 to feature

 bassist

 Dale Peters.

Critical Reception

Writing for AllMusic

critic

 Stephen Thomas Erlewine 

wrote of the album

 "With their second album

 Rides Again, 

the James Gang

 came into their own... 

Walsh's songwriting 

had improved, 

giving the band

 solid support

 for their 

stylistic experiments.

 What ties the two sides

 of the record together

 is the strength

 of the band's 

musicianship,

 which 

burns brightly 

and powerfully 

on the hardest rockers,

 as well as on

 the sensitive ballads."

 Music critic 

John Swenson

 named it 

"one of the most important

 rock records of the Seventies."

** On the initial pressings of 

James Gang Rides Again

a 1:25 electric rendition 

of Maurice Ravel's

 "Boléro"

 is interpolated 

into the song 

"The Bomber." 

Ravel's estate

 threatened suit against

 both the James Gang 

and

 ABC Records

 for its unauthorized use. 

As a result, 

the track was edited, 

and the 

"Boléro" 

section was 

removed on 

most subsequent 

pressings of the album.

 The edited song's

 running time on 

such pressings

 is 5:39. 

Some late 

1970s LP 

pressings 

included

 "Boléro" 

by mistake, 

and the most recent

 CD re-issue 

of

 Rides Again

 contains the 

full version 

of 

"The Bomber," 

with the 

"Boléro" 

section restored.

THIS HAS IT !!!
