Dirt Band/An American Dream - Trash.......2007-05-12

I am disappointed with this CD. I bought the CD for the title track which proved to be the only track worth listening to in my opinion. I have been a long term fan of The Dirt Band but this CD is not one of their best. If you are looking for happy island style music I suggest sticking with Buffett.

Not their best, but pretty darned good........2003-09-11

This CD represents the transitional period for the Dirt Band between their earlier, great bluegrass-flavored country rock, and much of the Nashville-country stuff they did later on. There are definite signs of the slicker, more commercial direction they were to head for on their later releases, especially on the "American Dream" album, but the best material here is really great. Out of print for many years, these two albums (now on one CD) are definitely worth seeking out for fans of the NGDB or anyone who likes quality country-rock. Though not quite up to some of their very best work (check out "Symphonion Dream", for example, or the "Uncle Charlie" album-- not to mention "Stars & Stipes", "Dirt, Silver & Gold" or any of the "Circle" albums), the musicianship on these albums is still superb, and there are some great songs here. "On The Loose" alone is worth the price of admission. In addition, the sound quality is excellent (kudos to BGO Records). If you're a rabid fan of this band (as I am), this CD is a must.

Great early recording.....gotta have it for your collection.......1999-02-26

I had this recording years ago, and have been searching for it since I loaned it to a friend (but can't remember which one). It is a great early Dirt Band recording that didn't get nearly as much attention as it deserved. Get this one for your collection
