Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Rodney Crowell,Alison Krauss, An American Dream (50th Anniversary)

[@johnniejenkins9557]

Saw Rodney in Nashville airport about 32 years ago... He was waiting on someone, but I knew he was also hiding from fans, so I just told him I enjoyed his music and wished him and family the best. He thanked me and smiled from a dark corner. I'm still a fan, even to this day in 2024 🤣, don’t think people realize his skill and talent over the years, a great musician to this day. Play on Rodney, we are listening and I THANK YOU !!

[@aklanpinoy6717]

I totally forgot about this song! Didn't know Rodney Crowell wrote this! An American Dream is an American classic, IMHO!!! 🙂

[@jamespeers6210]

Same here. I remember this song from when I was a kid…I had no idea Rodney wrote this?

[@amusicalheart7]

I love the Dirt Band, Rodney Crowell's songwriting and above all that I definitely love Alison Krauss; she's got the voice of an angel and the face to match!!!

[@johnzemetra6106]

I had the pleasure of seeing them in 1975 at Fort Lewis College in Durango, Colorado. Jerry Jeff Walker cancelled and an unknown comic, Steve Martin filled in, a great night.

[@deckiedeckie]

Rodney Crowell is the most underrated performer in the Amerikan music Scene...

[@willemvanlent6955]

BEST SUMMER OF MY LIFE!!! 1980❤

[@gumhkawngla3612]

This song was loved at not only vocal but the intro plucking and the bass riffs styles, of course story.

[@SeldimSeen1]

Great night for music at the Ryman.

[@danielepepin4257]

Always loved this song. I just love this rendition. All their voices blend so well.

[@Sangsangi-y8q]

I love you Alison 😍😍❤️❤️😍😍❤️❤️😊

[@MrRugbyloosehead]

Such a beautiful song, And timeless! It seems like it just came out recently? But it's like over thirty years ago when it was released!

[@amusicalheart7]

Not sure which I love the most; that Gretsch that Jeff’s playing or Alison’s smile.

[@BasementBerean]

I saw Rodney Crowell last winter right before Covid happened. Just amazing. Like a crash course in songwriting .

[@jimrebr]

I love Rodney Crowell so much, I also love NGDB, I have loved Voila, American Dream, since Rodney released his first albums. I have loved NGDB’s cover of this song, with lovely Linda Ronstadt singing on their cover, they got Grammy’s for this song, Linda got a Grammy too.❤️✨👏🔥🌟❤️

[@billwolfe7244]

That was one epic show! 50th, Family and the Ryman.

[@douglasmcconnell8116]

Magical I've always loved this classic !!

[@michaelvanhorn7152]

the Ryman the real country hall. !! what a great place now

[@rogeralsop3479]

Country music is alive and developing.

[@vanu49]

This song became a hit back in the days because of the harmony singing by LINDA RONSTADT, they should have mention that.

[@raymondmcmenemy303]

Thats right. I first heard it in Sliedrecht in the Netherlands years ago with Linda singing harmony.

[@junc3354]

that's the version that i like the most. and the very first that I heard back in the Philippines some 40+ years ago.

[@larrylaface6776]

The good old days…..

[@jwa718]

Alison almost looks lost without her fiddle end bow--VERY cute!!🥰 🥰

[@simonbroddle754]

Bought this as a 7" single when it was first released in the UK. Rarely heard it since. Thank you for posting.

[@sepalikafernando4469]

Love it

[@guitarDad100]

I saw Rodney last week opening for Tommy Emmanuel at the Wilber Theater in Boston MA. He was really spot on for his opening set. So glad I saw him live.

[@zigsrig]

Alison Krauss... grrrr she is the total package! :D

[@jimclarke1108]

Great country artists

[@neilbrandedman2575]

[@MrEnglish150]

[@queenfan69]

[@jamescopeland5358]

Great music

[@karenblaise9208]

Let’s all head over to the Little Bear!

[@beckysmith4596]

Awesome

[@jackroberts8935]

I always thought that the line it's just as easy as closing your eyes was it's as easy as clothes in your eyes.

[@ronkistner2672]

A C can sing with any body and make them sound good

[@motokokusanagi2519]

I’m definitely goin. Yoohhooo

[@RichardWingate-s8s]

I wonder what Jerry Jeff Walker was like in real life had to have been pretty damn cool

[@thomaskline]

Rodneys voice is masked in the mix.

[@Allan-gw6hz]

anyone have the live version without alison kraus in like a farm house?

[@jennycooper5364]

this song is rio by mike nesmith twin brother both great songs

[@zigsrig]

ummm, not really, but the video for Rio is pretty hilarious!

[@christaylor2070]

That's lovely - the only way it could be better was if Alison had played her fiddle!🙂

[@alksfavourite982]

Nagaland 2021

[@gumhkawngla3612]

So, play it exactly from the recording.

[@jessieball6195]

Still wouldn't be the same-no Linda Ronstadt. Crouse just can't carry that harmony part.

[@Frisbieinstein]

Music starts at 1:42

[@marieconner2360]

To Frank Love Lisa FYI"

[@Shannon0813]

I think he forgot the words!

[@CanadianGuy2004]

He's the actual singer so I'm not surprised

[@annb1]

Crowell is super wasted, verses in shambles, still excellent.

[@luccalucca7995]

15k hits????? pfffft, what a joke
