Nitty Gritty Dirt Band
Jan 27, 2013
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's classic album from 1972, "Will The Circle Be Unbroken," has been re-mastered from the original analog tapes for a deluxe 40th Anniversary 3LP vinyl and high definition digital HDtracks edition, to be released February 26th by Capitol Nashville.
The project was overseen by the band, with new liner notes by one of the Dirt Band's founding members, John McEuen.
"Will The Circle Be Unbroken," included an all-star cast from bluegrass, folk, and blues. The guests included Mother Maybelle Carter, Roy Acuff, Doc Watson, Earl Scruggs, Merle Travis, Jimmy Martin, and others. The album includes songs written by Joni Mitchell, Roy Acuff, Earl Scruggs and many more.
"We were all students of records coming from the bluegrass/folk/blues world, even prior to the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's birth in 1966," said McEuen. "This mysterious mix of music, culture and generations is what made 'The Circle' a possibility."
