Pure Dirt Music
Between old cassettes and rewritable CDs, 68 distinct Pure Dirt songs were uncovered (so far). When demos, remixes, alternate takes, and acoustic versions are included, the collection grows to more than 250 recordings—not counting numerous live performances that were captured over the years.
What follows is the most complete catalog that could be assembled from memory and surviving recordings. The intention is to release everything.
Some early demos are too rough to meet modern streaming standards. For those recordings—and select others—2026 AI-produced interpretations, trained on Pure Dirt’s original performances, may be created. These versions are not intended to replace the originals, but to offer insight into how the songs might have sounded if the time, technology, and resources had been available.
