Native Sons

by The Long Ryders

Emerging from the Los Angeles Paisley Underground scene, the band seamlessly married the jangling folk-rock of The Byrds with the grit of punk rock. Produced by Henry Lewy, the record embraces traditional American instrumentation like autoharps and mandolins, prefiguring the massive alt-country movement of the following decade. It features a notable guest vocal appearance by Gene Clark on the track 'Ivory Tower'.
