The result, without a false or strained note anywhere among its 37 songs, was an all-star country project that worked (and transcended its country and rock origins), with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band serving as catalyst and intersecting point for all of the talent involved, who gave superbly of themselves. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.
The version from Will the Circle Be Unbroken (1972) includes Mother Maybelle Carter (1st & 4th verse), Jimmy Martin (2nd verse), Roy Acuff (3rd verse) on vocals as well as Vassar Clements on fiddle, Earl Scruggs on banjo, John McEuen on mandolin, Merle Travis and Doc Watson on guitar and many others. Both Sides Now. Mary of the Wild Moor.
Twenty-eight years before O Brother, Where Art Thou?, West Coast country-rockers the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band brought old-school country and bluegrass to the modern-day mainstream by cutting a double album with first-gen country heroes (Roy Acuff, Maybelle Carter) and bluegrass originators (Jimmy Martin, Earl Scruggs). Tackling country classics mostly from the catalogs of the participants, the record bridges generations with its honest, unadorned acoustic feel and a torrent of timeless American tunes.
