The Lee Riders
Band,
Rock
The Lee Riders were formed in Woodstock, NY, in 1970 by Florida-born singer/songwriter Robert Lee, after interest from Bob Dylan manager Albert B. Grossman fizzled out. Gathering a bunch of like-minded southern musicians together, namely drummer Bill Hinds, bass player Mike Reilly, keyboardist Mike Connor and guitarist Matt Presby, Lee was able to secure a management deal with Lew Futterman. Futterman brokered an agreement with Martin Davies at UA in London for them to come over and record an album in the UK. With Hinds staying behind, the combo recruited Roy O. Temro, late of fellow UA act Cochise (7), who supplied them with the perfect rhythms for their tasty country-rock/country-funk. Recording the winter of '71, O. Temro brought in his ex-bandmate in Cochise, BJ Cole, to add understated yet tasty steel guitar licks to the proceedings. Issued in the spring of '72 to barely a whimper, The Lee Riders sole release fit right in with the down-home style of fellow Liberty/UA artists the Brinsley Schwarz, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Gypsy (14), Help Yourself, Man and Redwing (2).
