Ricochet is the second studio album by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. It was their second album of 1967..

Ricochet Review by Bruce Eder

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's second album is a masterpiece. From the opening bars of Jackson Browne's "Shadow Dream Song," the high spirits overflow the grooves of the record. The singing and playing are more confident, and some of the songs -- including the bluesy "Ooh Po Pe Do Girl" and the hook-laden "I'll Search The Sky" by Jeff Hanna, and Copeland and Noonan's (the "Buy for Me the Rain" team) "Tide of Love" -- are as solid as anything coming out of California. Even the kazoo-dominated "Coney Island Washboard" and "Happy Fat Annie" and the nostalgic '20s-styled Jackson Browne-written "It's Raining Here in Long Beach" fit well into the mix, reflecting the full range of the band's influences..

New Infamous Stringdusters tune out today. “Up From the Bottom" is off their upcoming album ’20/20’ which drops 2/13.

This is the first song Chris Pandolfi (banjo) has written for the Stingdusters. They're lucky to have many songwriters in the band, so it's a big deal for Chris to write one that makes it to an album.

In honor of #Dolly and her 80th birthday, I recommend my favorite song of hers... Which isn't truly hers. She covered Collective Soul's song (another favorite band of mine).

#Rock and #Bluegrass perfection.
