Dirt, Silver & Gold in Bloomington, MN

A three-record set spanning
the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
's career from its first album in 1967 to 1976,
Dirt, Silver and Gold
features all of the band's hits, including "Buy for Me the Rain," "Mr. Bojangles," "Battle of New Orleans," and the historic "Will the Circle Be Unbroken." The compilation also showcased many odds and ends (hence the "Dirt" in the title) that blend in nicely with the rest of the selections. If anyone is wondering about the
Dirt Band
pre-1976, this excellent collection is where they should begin. ~ James Chrispell
