Featuring an iconic collection of classic rock, folk rock, psychedelic rock, blues, and counterculture anthems, the album perfectly captures the spirit of the groundbreaking road movie starring Peter Fonda, Dennis Hopper, and Jack Nicholson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"516\" data-end=\"884\"\u003eRather than relying on a traditional orchestral score, \u003cem data-start=\"571\" data-end=\"583\"\u003eEasy Rider\u003c\/em\u003e helped redefine cinema by incorporating contemporary rock music directly into the film's narrative. The soundtrack became an instant classic, introducing a wider audience to some of the defining artists of the late 1960s while perfectly reflecting the themes of freedom, rebellion, and the open road.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"886\" data-end=\"1263\"\u003eThe album opens with Steppenwolf's unforgettable The Pusher, followed by the legendary biker anthem Born To Be Wild, one of the most recognisable songs in rock history. Smith's hit version of The Weight, The Byrds' uplifting Wasn't Born To Follow, and The Holy Modal Rounders' whimsical If You Want To Be A Bird complete a remarkable Side A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1265\" data-end=\"1729\"\u003eSide B continues with the laid-back Don't Bogart Me by The Fraternity Of Man, before The Jimi Hendrix Experience delivers the psychedelic masterpiece If Six Was Nine. The Electric Prunes add a haunting atmosphere with Kyrie Eleison Mardi Gras, while Roger McGuinn closes the album with Bob Dylan's powerful It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding) and the beautifully reflective Ballad Of Easy Rider, written especially for the film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1731\" data-end=\"2048\"\u003eMore than simply a soundtrack, Easy Rider became a defining musical statement of the late 1960s, celebrating the ideals of freedom, individuality, and the American counterculture. It remains an essential album for collectors of classic rock, film soundtracks, and music from one of cinema's most influential eras.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-section-id=\"1hvk5cb\" data-start=\"2050\" data-end=\"2063\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2065\" data-end=\"2075\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2065\" data-end=\"2075\"\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col data-start=\"2077\" data-end=\"2260\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"keo17m\" data-start=\"2077\" data-end=\"2106\"\u003eSteppenwolf – The Pusher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1fncp0q\" data-start=\"2107\" data-end=\"2141\"\u003eSteppenwolf – Born To Be Wild\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"lrq449\" data-start=\"2142\" data-end=\"2165\"\u003eSmith – The Weight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1umrmaw\" data-start=\"2166\" data-end=\"2204\"\u003eThe Byrds – Wasn't Born To Follow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1ggf5hn\" data-start=\"2205\" data-end=\"2260\"\u003eThe Holy Modal Rounders – If You Want To Be A Bird\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2262\" data-end=\"2272\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2262\" data-end=\"2272\"\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col data-start=\"2274\" data-end=\"2520\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"avjdp0\" data-start=\"2274\" data-end=\"2318\"\u003eThe Fraternity Of Man – Don't Bogart Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"15vuz56\" data-start=\"2319\" data-end=\"2369\"\u003eThe Jimi Hendrix Experience – If Six Was Nine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"u4ce29\" data-start=\"2370\" data-end=\"2421\"\u003eThe Electric Prunes – Kyrie Eleison Mardi Gras\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1dup3cw\" data-start=\"2422\" data-end=\"2478\"\u003eRoger McGuinn – It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"hh28po\" data-start=\"2479\" data-end=\"2520\"\u003eRoger McGuinn – Ballad Of Easy Rider\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_hftlEpHYh0?si=dqLtresQ0aBWHCLP\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stateside Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54807303782742,"sku":"SSL 5018","price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/1013\/7686\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_fdf8129d-8c27-45ee-b585-3de1c6afaede.jpg?v=1784905962","url":"https:\/\/www.sounds-grounds.co.uk\/products\/easy-rider-songs-as-performed-in-the-motion-picture","provider":"Sounds + Grounds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
