God bless ya for this one, Wayne. Listening as I write this and swooning at what a fine and rich LP it is. I say that as both a freak when it comes to Dylan covers (I have a 172 song/12.5 hour Spotify playlist of Bob covers that eschews the best-known ones, and all included are wonderful) and a huge fan, like you, of NGDB from the great country rock scare of the late'60s into '70s.
Dirt Does Dylan joins my hit list of beloved Dylan cover albums, which inckudes such gems as:
• Red on Blonde by Tim O'Brien
• John Wesley Harding by Thea Gilmore
• Knockin' on Bob's Door by The Persuasions
• Blonde on the Tracks by Emma Swift
NGBD are a truly Great American Band. And great guys who I went for slice pizza with at some joint on Seventh Avenue just north of Times Square when I interviewed them in the early '80s – warm, fun, unpretentious and a joy to hang with.
Thanks Rob. I appreciate you being the reality check on this!

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band did a great version of “Tennessee Stud.”
