Summary: Great music, horribe sound
Comment: The sound quality of this disc is off the charts horribe, it sounds like they used 4th generation tapes as the source...and possibly added loudness. If you will be listening in a car or off an ipod you probably won't notice it, but on even a half decent 2 channel home stereo rig this will sound rubbish. Spring for the individual CD's or get the other greatet hits discs. Right to the used music store with this one...the band is incredible but you'd never know it listening to this...they deserve better.

Summary: Great collection of hits
Comment: This cd of Nitty Gritty Dirt Band songs is great for a starter collection. Of notable interest on this cd is Mr. Bojangles, which is presented here in the shorter "B" side version of the song. The song was issued on both sides of the original 45, one with a minute and a half long prelude, then the song kicks in. When you flip the 45 over you get this version, which actually starts differently than the version on the A side 45.
For a very nice cheap budget price, this cd is a near definitive overview of their early hits, and I recommend this to anyone. Some of the other great songs on this cd are Buy For Me The Rain, House At Pooh Corner, and Will The Circle Be Unbroken.
If you want to dig a little deeper into the band's music, other cds that I recommend are "Dirt, Silver and Gold" for more songs from this era (which includes the original A side version of Mr. Bojangles), and also "20 Years of Dirt" for "Dance Little Jean".
Again, the B side version of Mr. Bojangles is on this cd, and it is in fact hard to find on cd. This cd has the basic early hits by the group, and is a must for anyone who likes Mr. Bojangles and wants to hear more of their hits.

Summary: Great album!
Comment: This is my only album of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and it is great. I hadn't even heard of them until the 4th of July last year when they came to my town. I didn't get to see them play but I heard they were great so I bought one of their cd's and loved it. One song I wish was on here though is "Fishin' in the Dark." That is a great song. Great cd and worth the buy.
