Rough Riders is the third album by the American band Lakeside.

[1][2] Released in 1979 on the SOLAR Records label, it was produced by Dick Griffey, Lakeside, and Leon Sylvers III.

"Pull My Strings" was a hit.

[3] The Oakland Post praised the "dynamic instrumentation, pinpoint rhythms and power funk chords layered with four-part harmonies dancing under strong, alternating lead vocals.

"[6] The New York Times wrote that Rough Riders "displays a competent show band adept at several rhythm-and-blues idioms, but the material and arrangements are drearily formulaic.
