NRBQ’s 1983 classic and sole release on the Bearsville label returns! The album has been remastered, includes new liner notes and boasts seven bonus tracks making this edition the definitive version of Grooves In Orbit

“The late 1970s through the early 1980s was one of many fertile periods for NRBQ. While electrifying audiences with exciting, unpredictable performances, as they always do, they produced a series of sterling albums: All Hopped Up, At Yankee Stadium, Tiddlywinks, She Sings They Play (with Skeeter Davis) and, in 1983 for Bearsville Records, Grooves In Orbit, still one of their strongest, best-sounding records.”         —excerpt from John DeAngelis’ liner notes

The album features seven bonus tracks including previously unheard songs, the Captain Lou Albano Grooves In Orbit promo spot, and alternate versions of “Hit The Hay” and “12 Bar Blues” plus an instrumental version of live favorite “Smackaroo.” Additionally, it includes contributions from Whole Wheat Horns, a version of Johnny Cash’s “Get Rhythm” (always a live favorite) and a chain saw (handled by NRBQ crew member Phil Collison)!

Remastered by Michael Graves of Osiris Studio in Los Angeles, with liner notes by Q scribe John DeAngelis, this new edition is certain to set your Grooves In Orbit!
