Easy Rider was one of the films that launched the New Hollywood revolution, in which young filmmakers rejected the studio system and sought to make movies that reflected the tumult of the times. Dennis Hopper selected songs for the film based on stuff he was hearing on the radio in 1968. He came up with a groundbreaking album that included biker-rock from Steppenwolf, country-rock from the Byrds and a Jimi Hendrix freak-power anthem.
