Nitty Gritty Dirt Band-All the good times

All the good times
In 1971, after 'Bojangles' went up the charts The Dirt Band were settling into Colorado, their music was still changing. After the success of 'Uncle Charlie', the group recorded this album. "All The Good Times" is composed of two live tracks "Sixteen Tracks" the first track and "Diggy Diggy Lo", the last track. The album is a little rough, the Cajun imitations aren't all that great, "Jamaica Say You Will" is a little out of place. Songs like "Down In Texas" and "Civil War Trilogy" (a McEuen banjo instrumental) and most of the rest of the album is comprised of excellent country-rock reminiscent of late Springfield, or Poco. It's not that bad, pretty good for an album that has become a forgotten piece of their catalog. A lost treasure. songs on this CD include 16 tracks, fish song, jambalaya, down in texas, creepin' round your back door, daisy, slim carter, hoping to say, baltimore, jamaica say you will, do you feel it too, civil war trilogy, and diggy liggy lo.
