'''''Bustin' Out''''' is the second studio album by American [[country rock]] band [[Pure Prairie League]]. Originally released by [[RCA Records]] in late 1972, the album garnered renewed interest almost three years after its release. By then, band leader [[Craig Fuller]] was no longer in the band due to [[draft board]] issues.

"Amie" was first released as a single in 1973 and failed to chart. In early 1975 it again began receiving airplay mostly on college radio stations and then on major U.S. radio stations. It hit #27 by May 1975. On the album, "Falling In and Out of Love" ends in a [[segue]] to "Amie", which then concludes with the main chorus of "Falling In and Out of Love." Because of this interrelationship, the pair of songs are sometimes played as a single track.<ref>{{cite web |title=Song of the Day: Falling In and Out of Love/Amie |url=https://www.thesportschief.com/new-blog/2020/3/30/song-of-the-day-falling-in-and-out-of-loveamie |website=The Sports Chief |date=March 30, 2020 |access-date=April 23, 2022}}</ref>

The album features a guest appearance by [[Mick Ronson]] who provided string arrangements on the tracks "Boulder Skies" and "Call Me, Tell Me."
