Tracks: In For The Night Wild Nights For A Little While Lights Escaping Reality Whoa Babe White Russia Can't Stop Loving Me Now On The Loose Angel About The Record: The Dirt Band, by Dirt Band, marked a significant shift for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, who shortened their name to the Dirt Band, embracing a softer, pop-oriented sound with elements of soft rock, moving away from their earlier country and folk roots. This album, their tenth, was the first under the new moniker and reflected a transitional phase, with a lineup featuring Jeff Hanna, John McEuen, Jimmie Fadden, Merel Bergante, Richard Hathaway, and Al Garth. Historically, it coincided with the band's adaptation to changing musical trends, though it was less appealing to fans of their traditional sound, as noted by AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine. The single In for the Night reached the lower regions of the Billboard Hot 100, marking a modest chart presence. No other singles from the album achieved significant chart success
