In an age when the old-timey soundtrack to O Brother, Where Art Thou? sells 5 million copies, it's hard to imagine how revolutionary Will the Circle Be Unbroken seemed upon its release 30 years ago. The triple album (now rereleased as a two-CD set) paired many of Nashville's venerable country and bluegrass performers (Roy Acuff, Mother Maybelle Carter, Earl Scruggs, Doc Watson, Merle Travis, Jimmy Martin, Vassar Clements) with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, or as Acuff called them, "a bunch of long-haired West Coast boys." The idea seemed nearly as foreign as Martians setting down in Tennessee, but the Dirt Band were Colorado hippies steeped in the genre, so there was no disputing the authenticity of the music, or its earthy appeal. Aside from the sheer joy of the performances (listen to Jimmy Martin's "whoop" on "Sunny Side of the Mountain"), there's great fun in hearing Roy Acuff give the boys a lesson in doing a song right the first time (and using the word hell before launching into a religious number). And Mother Maybelle wafts through like a benevolent ghost, or at least a patron saint. One caveat: The boast of four previously unreleased tracks is balderdash, since three are really between-track conversations and rehearsals, and only "Foggy Mountain Breakdown" qualifies as a real song. But that's nitpicking. Buy it. Love it. Wallow in it. O brother, that's country music! --Alanna Nash

Great price for this product! May 9, 2008
This is a classic recording, and for the price I don`t think you will any better deal anywhere else. It was also delivered within several days and was in excellent condition.

I really enjoy how The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is able to mix Classic Country with Bluegrass and constantly come up with hit after hit after hit. If you're a fan of them then I don't have to tell. If you're not, and enjoy this type of music you will appreciate this double CD. Some of my favorite songs include: Tennessee Stud & Pins And Needles (In My Heart). This is what music sounds like!
glad to have it on disc April 9, 2008
had this album set and glad it was offered on cd's,now i can whistle the tunes again!!
Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, great in these recordings. March 11, 2008
I bought these c.d.'s when they were released, but my daughter is always borrowing it from me, so I finally bought this one, new, to put away for her birthday. I love the casual talk between the artists between songs, and every song is great.I would have loved to have sat in on these recordings.Really Great c.d for "pure" old country.Jimmy Martin,Roy Acuff, Earl Scruggs,Pete "Oswald" Kirby and his beautiful dobro,Doc Watson, Vassar Clements, Mother Maybelle, just to name a few who recorded these c.d's.D.Partridge
