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. ~ Bruce Eder
