I remember first hearing the NGDB as a kid, listening on my dad's eight-track to the soundtrack of the musical "Paint Your Wagon." Obviously, their contribution to that soundtrack, "Hand Me Down My Can Of Beans," stood out on an album that featured the fine vocal stylings of Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin - but I digress."Uncle Charlie and His Dog Teddy" (with the wonderful Kenny Loggins hit "House At Pooh Corner"), "Symphonion Dream," and so many other albums came after. The band has always been at the forefront, stylistically at least, of the "Americana" genre, but for some reason have never gotten the recognition that their contemporaries and followers such as The Band, The Grateful Dead, The Byrds, CSN&Y;, The Eagles and others have.This album is as solid as anything they (or any of their colleagues) have ever done and I highly recommend it.
