    Default One of my favorite Bernie songs

    This is "Corduroy Road" which he wrote and sings on the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band album "Workin' Band." It's a good album and on Spotify, if you're interested.

    His vocals on this are really good, and of course, the NGDB are premiere musicians, so you've got a good combination there. Just thought I'd share it since I've only seen it mentioned once on his threads.

    And for some nice Bernie banjo (and steel guitar) work from the same "Workin' Band" album: "A Lot Like Me"

    Bob Carpenter handles lead vocals on this one. Kind of a dark song, but excellent work from the whole band.

    His work with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band really gets overlooked. Thanks for the links! I like "Corduroy Road" - it's an interesting choice of imagery.

    Hadn't heard this before. It's such a feel-good tune musically that I need several listens to get it. But I do like the chorus already.

    People have heard a lot of the NGDB as far as singles go, but their albums have some incredible music. "Workin' Band" is on Youtube in its entirety, and is also on Spotify. You hear a lot of Bernie's work on it.

    I'm not surprised they hired Bernie. These guys seriously respect good musicians. See them if you get a chance. They do a great show and they're good guys, too.

    Glad you're liking the music!

    Thanks for the links, Pippin. I’m one who is only familiar with the singles, although I have heard the “Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Vol. 2” collaboration, which I don’t think was ever released as a single. I’ll have to check out the rest of the album.
