New album from Nitty Gritty Dirt Band founder, John McEuen

"The album's most transcendent moments come when the players improbably launch into two tunes by Warren Zevon. (Actor, musician) Steve Martin's banjo leads a bluegrass version of "My Dirty Life and Times" that is somehow a perfect fit. Then there's the album's murder ballad, Zevon's "Excitable Boy," which comes complete with the trio of female backing singers singing the same vocal arrangement as in the original. David Bromberg's lead vocal in this number is another match that works beautifully. Hearing Zevon done in jaunty bluegrass style is an experience all Warren fans need to have." — Sonics= 4.5/5 — Robert Baird, Stereophile.com, Nov. 15, 2016

"Made in Brooklyn deserves a Grammy in either Americana or Bluegrass categories — or both." — Country Music International

Made in Brooklyn, the new album from Nitty Gritty Dirt Band founder, John McEuen, is coming your way on September 30th via Chesky Records. The album is a time capsule of American Roots music that features guest performances from the likes of Steve Martin, David Bromberg, David Amram, John Carter Cash, and a dozen other well known stars of the genre. Featuring both original material from John, as well as unexpected covers such as Warren Zevon's "Excitable Boy," Made in Brooklyn is a "music-to-your-ears" audio feast.

Part of the Chesky Binaural + Series, all recorded with a single microphone, the band appears right before you with this spacious, lush and multi-dimensional recording. Now headphone users will hear the same three-dimensional sound and imaging as audiophiles have for the past 25 years with Chesky Recordings. Also these new Binaural+ Series albums capture even more spatial realism for the home audiophile market, bringing you one step closer to the actual event. You will hear some of the most natural and pure cool music ever recorded!
