Wasted Tasters is an album by the country rock band the New Riders of the Purple Sage. It contains previously released songs selected from the first seven New Riders albums, which were recorded between 1971 and 1975. It was released in Australia on the Raven Records label on May 19, 1994.[2]
The songs on Wasted Tasters were excerpted from New Riders of the Purple Sage (1971), Powerglide (1972), Gypsy Cowboy (1972), The Adventures of Panama Red (1973), Home, Home on the Road (1974), Brujo (1974), and Oh, What a Mighty Time (1975).[3]
Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead plays pedal steel guitar on the first five tracks.
The front cover illustration for Wasted Tasters was taken from the inside cover of Powerglide. It was drawn by Lore Orion, who was formerly known as Lawrence "Lore" Shoberg.[4] It depicts, from left to right, David Nelson, John Dawson, Spencer Dryden, Dave Torbert, and Buddy Cage.
