REVERBERATIONS FROM THE PAST ~ and only slightly outside the mainstream curve.

EXTRA-CLEAN ORIGINAL 1967 SECOND album, and nothing like their later popular country albums, this was 1967 Southern California, playing along flipped-out bands like Kaleidoscope, a band early Dirt band members would jam with and join up (re- Chris Darrow) . "Ricochet" is just that ~ stoned heads with a trippy throwback to wherever it was, and they're there!  ...don't stop now boys, and they surely didn't, "RICOCHET" strikes gold nuggets all along both sides of the record - just like their first...no country music here, only pulsating good-time vibes & sensations that only the'60s could deliver.

* Includes the original printed Liberty Records inner sleeve to the pressing

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's second album is another minor masterpiece. From the opening bars of (ex-group member) Jackson Browne's "Shadow Dream Song," and the high spirits overflow the grooves of the record. The singing and playing are just as confident as their first Lp, and some of the songs, including the bluesy "Ooh Po Pe Do Girl" and the hook-laden "I'll Search The Sky" by David Hanna, and Copeland and Noonan's (the "Buy For Me The Rain" team) "Tide Of Love," is as solid as anything coming out of California in the late 60's. Even the kazoo-dominated "Coney Island Washboard" and "Happy Fat Annie," and the nostalgic 20's 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. As to why this record never caught on, it could be the timing--released late in 1967, in the wake of Sergeant Pepper (which had its own music hall influences, albeit of the English variety, and covered with lots of psychedelic overdubbing) and the Summer of Love, it just wasn't what college kids starting their search for the Lost Chord were looking for. Maybe a washboad or two less would've helped, and a real drug song or two wouldn't have hurt, but these guys could play a jug-band number ahead of any drug anthem anytime. Their Truly Right" is pretty space-y in its production, though, but "The Teddy Bear's Picnic"-- being slightly(?) flipped out, was probably beyond most listeners. Anyone looking for a companion to The Byrds "Notorious Byrd Bros." or a precursor to Crazy Horse's "At Crooked Lake" need look no further.
