Ricochet (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band Album)
''Ricochet'' is the second album, by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and their second album release of 1967, being released only four or five months after their first album, ''The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band'', which was released in February or March, 1967.

''Ricochet'' failed to make the charts.
