Review

Dirt, Silver & Gold started life as a daunting triple-LP compilation in 1976, summing up the highlights of the group’s first decade, and later found a second life of sorts on CD from One Way Records. Anyone who owns One-Way Records’ reissue of Dirt, Silver & Gold should take a good, long look at this reissue from BGO, which not only features vastly superior sound on its 37 songs—each remastered from what sounds like the original master tape, recompiled for this release and featuring crisp, loud sound—but also corrects the one major flaw in the One-Way release—the absence of any annotation. This slipcased, narrow double-CD set carries us from the early days of the Dirt Band as a novelty act to their blossoming as a folk-bluegrass-blues hybrid and their plunge into country music; John Tobler’s excellent notes provide a detailed history covering every step of their development from the mid-1960s through the early 1990s, offering a quick update to 2003 and their current lineup.
