DEF: Nitty Gritty Dirt Band “Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper’s Dream)”

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band hit number one on Billboard‘s Hot Country Songs chart three times, with all three hits coming in the 1980s. Exactly 35 years ago, the first of those three songs, “Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper’s Dream),” rose to the top of the chart for a one-week reign. To commemorate that anniversary, “Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper’s Dream)” by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is today’s Daily Eighties Flashback.
