Paul Revere & The Raiders, an American rock band that saw their heyday in the 1960s and early 1970s, was known for their distinctive style and patriotic Revolutionary War uniforms, which became a visual hallmark of their brand. Formed in Boise, Idaho in 1958, and originally named The Downbeats, the band was led by organist and bandleader Paul Revere (born Paul Revere Dick). They sealed their fame during the rock revolution with hits that exhibited a perfect blend of garage rock and pop. Mark Lindsay, their charismatic lead singer, played a pivotal role in their sound and success.

Throughout their career, Paul Revere & The Raiders notched several hits on the Billboard charts, including classics like “Kicks,” “Hungry,” and “Good Thing.” But it was the 1971 chart-topping hit “Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian)” that became their biggest-selling record. Their music, significantly influential and often overshadowed by British Invasion bands, has endured through releases like "The Complete Columbia Singles" and "The Essential Paul Revere & The Raiders." Their efforts to remember and reproduce their sound for newer audiences is evident in reissues and reimaginings such as "Indian Reservation (Reimagined)" and "Indian Reservation (Rerecorded)," aiming to keep the band's legacy alive for both seasoned fans and newcomers to their distinctive rock 'n' roll sound.
