Review allmusic.com
By the time of this, their sixth album, the New Riders of the Purple Sage had deteriorated to the point of recording novelty songs like "I Heard You've Been Layin' My Old Lady" and aging standards like "La Bamba." They managed to talk old friend Jerry Garcia into sitting in on a few songs, but that was no indication that they were back at the level of their first album. Rather, Oh, What a Mighty Time sounded like the work of a competent Marin County bar band, which is pretty much what the New Riders were by this time. The album, their worst seller thus far, was their last for Columbia Records.

At the time that this recording was released, it received HORRENDOUS reviews from the critics and is listed as the "worst" release that the band had done to that point and maybe ever. I personally don't see it. I have been a NRPS fan from near the beginning and I love this album! I have been looking for this CD ever since I made the transition from vinyl to CD's.I had pretty much given up ever seeing this in CD. It has fun and joy that characterized the band. The songs are wonderful. I particularly love the musicianship in "Take A Letter Maria" It's my favorite track even though I would have liked to have it mixed so that the second verse was fully audible. Other personal favorites are Strangers on a Train and Farewell, Angelina. Give it a listen; you may be pleasantly surprised!

I'd have to agree with the previous reviewer - a much derided release that has all the joy of the mid-life Riders (Up against the Wall, Redneck is a particular favorite, the gospel fand Sly Stone brew of the title track). The musicianship is excellent as it always was when Buddy Cage was on the pedal steel and Dawson and Nelson were up front. Skip Battin brought his (ill-fitting) Byrds like contributions, co-written with Kim Fowley, but after they dominated Brujo, Stranger on a Train was their only offering before he became the next to jump ship and Mike Love (I think) took over bass (and some song-writing) duties for 'Who are Those Guys' which, I must admit, is not anywhere near as fine as this album (so why did it get a CD release on Wounded Bird?). I have to note this is not the first CD release of the album. The excellent Cactus Juice combines Brujo, Oh, What a Mighty Time and Home, Home on the Road as a 2-CD package with a couple of bonus tracks and is well worth the coinage - that's where my (CD) version of this album is located.

New Riders Of The Purple Sage
- Американская группа образованная в 1969 году. С участниками Grateful Dead, Нелсон и Доусон познакомились в 1962 году, когда все они учились в художественном колледже для мальчиков - Уайлдвуд. Нелсон стал членом группы Big Brother, из которой перебрался в калифорнийский коллектив New Delhi River Band, где играл и Доусон. В 1970 году группа, пока еще под названием Riders, открывала концерты Grateful Dead. Она ассоциировалась с движением хиппи, со всеми атрибутами, в немалой степени имиджу способствовала программная композиция «Panama Red», пробравшаяся почти на самую вершину американского хит-парада.
В 1971 году название было исправлено на New Riders Of The Purple Sage, но несмотря на мощные концертные выступления с пиротехническими эффектами, пластинки New Riders Of The Purple Sage начали продаваться хуже, прорыв наметился лишь в 1974 году, когда устаканился состав, а концертный альбом «Home, Home On The Road» стал «золотым » всего за одну неделю.
Проведя серию выступлений в Европе, во время которых они оттачивали свой хард-рок, группа, тем не менее, по возвращении на родину покинула лэйбл звукозаписи, руководство которого сочло «несанкционированное изменение звучания» подрывом своей торговой марки. Последовали новые изменения состава, группа подписала контракт с МСА, записала два альбома и вновь лишилась контракта.
Ситуация оказалась парадоксальной: публика наконец-то признала New Riders Of The Purple Sage и расхватывала пластинки группы, а две звукозаписывающие империи Америки отказывались замечать это и сознательно лишались доходов, что, в свою очередь, подорвало и без того слабенький бюджет группы. New Riders Of The Purple Sage отказались от студийной работы и некоторое время выступали в небольших клубах, но финансовая дыра продолжала расти, и в 1981 году группа официально объявила о распаде.
