Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - 1968 - Pure Dirt
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is an American country-folk-rock band that has existed in various forms since its founding in Long Beach, California in 1966. The group's membership has had at least a dozen changes over the years, including a period from 1976 to 1981 when the band performed and recorded as The Dirt Band. Constant members since the early times are singer-guitarist Jeff Hanna and drummer Jimmie Fadden. Multi-instrumentalist John McEuen was with the band from 1966 to 1986 and returned during 2001. Keyboardist Bob Carpenter joined the band in 1977. The band is often cited as instrumental to the progression of contemporary country and roots music. Pure Dirts, is the group's first compilation album, made up of six songs from the first album and eight from Ricochet, assembled and released by Liberty Records in England (where neither of the original albums had appeared). A fair representation of the original Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. 01 - Buy Me For The Rain 02 - It's Raining Here In Long Beach 03 - Dismal Swamp 04 - Tide Of Love 05 - Holding 06 - Call Again 07 - Your Gonna Get It In The End 08 - Shadow Dream Song 09 - Song To Jutta 10 - The Teddybears Picnic 11 - Truly Right 12 - Put A Bar In My Car 13 - Candy Man 14 - I'll Search The Sky LINK (RS) or LINK (FS)
