Want to see how they did it? Click here: https://bit.ly/NGDBepk "There's a simplicity to the music that's refreshing in today's overproduced, oversampled world - and in true George Massenburg fashion, the production is warm and inviting. The Western-feeling "The Resurrection" is a classic workingman NGDB cut, while the track "Jimmy Martin" is a fitting tribute to the King of Bluegrass. "Amazing Love," the set's most aurally saturating song, has hit written all over it." -Billboard "The legendary band's first album in five years...boasts 13 tracks" and "provides a showcase for John McEuen's banjo on 'Lost in the Pines' and flaunts the power of Jimmie Fadden's harmonica in opener 'Tulsa Sounds Like Trouble to Me.'" - USA Today "If you know 'em, then you'll want to get the album - it's good. If you're a newbie to the Nitty Gritty world, then all you need to know is before there was (insert the name of your favorite jamgrass band here), there was the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. But no resting on laurels is necessary. 'Speed of Life' takes off with a foot-to-the-floor "Tulsa Sounds Like Trouble to Me" and never looks back...A mix of new tunes and cool covers" - Relix "Generation- and genre-bending." On "Going Up The Country," "NGDB delivers a rootsier, livelier boogie than the Woodstock anthem." - American Songwriter
