Nitty Gritty Dirt Band "I've Been Lookin' Single Of The Day

Greetings from Asheville, where good music is always on the turntable, in the CD player, or in the MP3 machine.  Today’s Single Of The Day heads back a few years, 1988, to be exact.  The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band were in the midst of a streak of 15 consecutive top ten singles (they had 16, overall), and today’s single would be number 14 of that streak.

“I’ve Been Lookin’ was released in late Summer, following up their hit “Workin’ Man (Nowhere To Go)”.  Making it’s Country 40 debut in mid-September, “I’ve Been Lookin’ would race up the charts, nearly making it to number one, stopping just one position short.  A bright, peppy little number, it’s hard not to like, as it simply has that “feel-good” spirit to it.

Saving vinyl, one record at a time.
