Review

This two-fer from Wounded Bird features a pair of out of print Nitty Gritty Dirt Band LP's: Plain Dirt Fashion and Partners, Brothers and Friends both originally issued on Warner Brothers in 1984 and 1985, respectively. Among the 20 cuts are several chart toppers including "Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper's Dream)," "High Horse," "Partners, Brothers and Friends," "Home Again in My Heart" and "Modern Day Romance." These albums are worth acquiring for any fan of the country-pop hits of the era. ~ Al Campbell, All Music Guide
