Bun B. Hear has compared writing for The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s new album to that on ‘Nitty Gritty Dirt Band 1st Album’ - but has declared the lyrics will be even more terrifying. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band 1st Album isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. It’s a brave and brilliant refocusing of The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band energies, virtually a rebirth. This is one of The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band best albums
This song could easily nestle itself onto the world top playlists. No The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band song has come close to capturing my attention as Melissa did. You Took The Happiness (Out Of My Head) has a gorgeous instrumental sound, which lets The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s strong vocals come to the fore. In Hard Hearted Hannah it becomes nowhere more obvious that The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band has yet to define own style. This track is just fantastic from start to finish. Song To Jutta is flawed, nonetheless pretty good song. As always, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s lyrics are worth listening to again and again. You have to get essence of the I Wish I Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate’s power, to truly understand this masterpiece. Crazy Words, Crazy Tune is just simply stunning. You’re Gonna Get It In The End (2:28) - awsome.
