The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Dirt Does Dylan (2022/FLAC)

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band have released Dirt Does Dylan, a 10-track album highlighting songs from Bob Dylan’s catalog. The recording, which arrived on May 20, 2022, features three new band members alongside founders Jeff Hanna and Jimmie Fadden, and Bob Carpenter, who joined in 1980: fiddler Ross Holmes; singer-songwriter and bass player Jim Photoglo (who wrote one of the Dirt Band’s biggest hits, “Fishin’ in the Dark”) and Hanna’s son, singer and guitarist Jaime Hanna.

Produced and recorded by Ray Kennedy at Room & Board Studio in Nashville, Dirt Does Dylan, says a Apr. 7 press release, “finds a generation-spanning Dirt Band paying an appropriately great tribute to arguably the greatest songwriter of the 20th century with the help of friends like Jason Isbell, the War & Treaty, Steve Earle and Rosanne Cash.”
