Feelin' All Right is the tenth studio album and twelfth album overall by the country rock band the New Riders of the Purple Sage.[1] [2] Released in 1981, it was their only album on the A&M Records label.[3] Produced as a vinyl LP, it has not been released in CD format.

Feelin' All Right was the last studio album by the New Riders that featured both John "Marmaduke" Dawson and David Nelson as full-time band members (although Nelson made a guest appearance on 1992's Midnight Moonlight). The two had co-founded the band in 1969 with Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead. Also included in the lineup was longtime member Buddy Cage on pedal steel guitar, along with guitarist Allen Kemp and drummer Patrick Shanahan. Kemp wrote or co-wrote seven of the ten songs on the album, his first as a member of NRPS.[4] [5]
