 He'll steal your woman, then he'll rob your head November 4, 2008
C. J. Richardson III (Jackson, MS)
I wore out several vinyl copies of this recording and will now wear out CD copies. I just saw NRPS on their current tour and hearing this live prompted me to buy the CD. I'm glad I did. While the first record is my favorite, this is a very close second.
One from the GREAT trilogy July 5, 2008
Duane Mailing (Hamilton, ON Canada)
Ok folks, here's one from the GREAT trilogy of country rock godliness consisting of this album as well as Carolina Dreams by Marshall Tucker Band and The first album by The Outlaws. I have loved this album since high school in 78 or so. The hippy dippy songs are cool but the pure country stuff is almost unmatched by anything. One of my nominees for greatest song of all time is You Shoulda Seen Me Runnin'...my god...how perfect this song is, and Buffy Saint Marie's backing vocals are the absolute nutz! This is desert island material.
 This album is a must for your collection, "Panama Red" alone is worth the price of addmission! October 15, 2006
The Closet Intellectual (Cornland, IN USA)
The Dead, Skynard, Allman Bros. & Eagles mixed into a bowl and fired up! I bought this album solely for "Panama Red" but the entire album turned out to be very enjoyable. The sound of the album is unique but also reminiscent of other bands that were popular at the time of it's release (1973). Mostly, the lyrics are funny but occasionally become introspective. The "drug culture" and language that is present in the songs take you back to a seeminly simpler time, this one is definitely worth buying.

I first bought this album in 1975. Its amazing how after 30 yrs the songs still sound as good as they did way back then. Very good collection of tunes. Half the cd is country and the other half is rock. Total track time is around 30 minutes. Very good music.
Trust me, this rocks. March 16, 2006

I see there are already plenty of reviews of Panama Red already, so I really have no excuse for writing my own. All the same...
Firstly, I think people who don't like this album are probably thinking of NRPS as the dead's little sister, which frankly it is not. It has very little to do with the dead. It's psycadelic cowboy rock.
It is also totally fantastic. There is not a song on the album that I don't like.
Here's a mini review of the songs-
"Panama Red"- Totally a classic. First time I heard it I was singing along by the end.
"It's All Right With Me"- Oo-Oo- yeeeaaah, to qoute it.
"Lonesome LA Cowboy"- The lines about smokin' dope, snortin' coke are great. Heck, the whole song is.
"(Ok Sam)Important exportin' man"- Very catchy. Greatest saxaphone.
"One Too Many Stories"- Oh, woe. The only one I couldn't call my favorite. But it's still fine.
"Kick in the head"- Absolutely my favorite. The lyrics are bizarre and typicle Robert Hunter. (Funny the dead never preformed it)
"You Should Have Seen Me Runnin"- Lord. Buffy Sainte-Marie is the greatest back up ever. I don't know why there isn't more of her and less of Donna Jean. (???)
"Teardrops in My Eyes"- I can't help dancing when this plays. Happiest sad song ever.
"L.A Lady"-Really well done. Good singing, good music, good lyrics. What more could you ask for?
"Thank the Day"- Typical Torbert (It's about sailing). The lyrics "I couldn't keep from smiling" must apply to the listener.
"Cement, Clay and Glass"- Wait a sec. THIS is my favorite. Great anti urban sprawl song.
I have only one beef, and trust me it's not the song's fault. I guess when they put it onto cd they changed it a little, because at the end when he (David Nelson, I think. Don't qoute me) is singing "Cement, Clay and Glass" over and over you can hear Donna Jean Godchaux singing signifigantly louder than the he is. This isn't a problem on the record (I know because I have it), just the Cd.
Thats it for the songs, but I think I should mention one other thing thats unfortunate: the packaging for the Cd is not nearly as exciting as it was for the record. The fantastic Panama Red cartoon is rather squashed. Aslo, the sleave that had the lyrics and the picture of NRPS with the grungy dog is not reproduced anywhere.
Thats really all, and, frankly, I can deal with the two small drawbacks because the CD means I can listen to it in the car, lend it to my friends, whatever.
It's pretty hard to dislike the New Riders, so you should definatley give this Cd a try.
