Free Music Review: The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Greatest Hits CD review
Hit: 5 Stars
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band turned out some mighty excellent tunes in their time; and their music remains every bit as enjoyable today. This music brings back memories for people who heard these songs when they were first released; and this is even an excellent starter album for newcomers to their incredible talent. The quality of the sound is quite good and the artwork is tastefully done.
The CD opens with a huge hit for them, "Mr. Bojangles;" this song stayed in my mind after I heard it the very first time and listen for the awesome "An American Dream" with its beautiful melody and some excellent singing that fits perfectly with the musical arrangement. In addition, the very country-flavored "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" is very well done; and I like other songs including "House at Pooh Corner;" "Make a Little Magic" with that harmonica enhancing the number; a terrific treatment of "All I Have to Do Is Dream" made so famous by The Everly Brothers; the countrified "Grand Ole Opry Song;" "Jambalaya (On the Bayou)" with still more wonderful singing and music; "The Battle of New Orleans" with that guitar and so much more; "I Saw the Light" with excellent guitar work; "Buy for Me the Rain" with those strings as they perform this to perfection--and beyond; "Some of Shelly's Blues" and the closing number, "Fire in the Sky."
Of course, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band made a lot more music than just these tracks. Fans who want a more comprehensive collection of their music would do well to get the two CD set entitled "Dirt, Silver and Gold" as well as "20 Years of Dirt."
This group remains a special band even in our times; catch them in concert if you can! I highly recommend this album.
