Binding : Audio CDEAN : 0724348704320Label : DiskyManufacturer : DiskyPublisher : DiskyRelease date : 1996-07-10Title : Will the Circle Be UnbrokenOriginal release date : 1972-01-01Studio : DiskyNumber of discs : 2 A history-making event for both popular and country music, this album brought together the hippieish Nitty Gritty Dirt Band with some of the all-time legends of country and bluegrass music, including Roy Acuff, Doc Watson, Earl Scruggs, and Mother Maybelle Carter herself. It may not sound earth-shaking now, but in the days before Johnny Cash covered Soundgarden songs, there wasn't too much mixing going on between Nashville and the longhair camp. The result: an epochal meeting of minds exploring the joys of gospel, bluegrass, and old-time country music. Check out traditional acoustic gems like "Wildwood Flower," "Orange Blossom Special," "Soldier's Joy," and of course the heart-wrenching title track. Sixteen years later,
made for a worthy sequel to this seminal cross-cultural experiment.
This album (I purchased the LP when it first came out & then purchased the CD when it came out) is a "must have" to any bluegrass or country music lover. This album brings together the legends of bluegrass with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (NGDB). Buy volume II too. Now, if only NGDB will issue "Dirt, Silver & Gold" on CD.
