Representing the band's most lucrative years,
Twenty Years of Dirt
is a collection of hits from
the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
's late-'70s to mid-'80s era, with tracks from 1979's
American Dream
, 1984's
Plain Dirt Fashion
, and 1985's
Partners, Brothers, and Friends
, among others. Songs like
Jerry Jeff Walker
's
"Mr. Bojangles,"
which gave them their only Top Ten hit, and the soothing vocal stylings of the
Jimmy Buffet
-like
"American Dream"
showcase the group's
country-rock
finesse. While
has
Linda Ronstadt
helping out on vocals,
"Make a Little Magic"
utilized
Nicolette Larson
's sweet-sounding voice.
"High Horse"
is dominated with an old
country
sound, led by jangly guitar strumming and quick singing, and
"Dance Little Jean"
pulls firmly at the heartstrings, making it a
radio mainstay. With such a lengthy career and numerous personnel changes since their formation in 1966,
in no way sums up the lifespan of the band, but it does do a good job at bunching their best commercial years onto one album. ~ Mike DeGagne
