Bustin’ Out is the second studio album by American country rock band Pure Prairie League. Originally released by RCA Records in October 1972, the album garnered renewed interest almost 3 years after its release. By then, band leader Craig Fuller was no longer in the band due to draft board issues.
“Amie” was first released as a single in 1973 and failed to chart. In early 1975 it again began receiving airplay mostly on college radio stations and then on major U.S. radio stations. It hit #27 by May 1975. On the album, “Falling In and Out of Love” ends in a segue to “Amie”, which then concludes with the main chorus of “Falling In and Out of Love.” Because of this interrelationship, the pair of songs are sometimes played as a single track.
The album features a guest appearance by Mick Ronson who provided string arrangements on the track “Boulder Skies” and “Call Me, Tell Me.”
