Editorial Reviews

Filmed and Recorded live at Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Friends - Circlin' Back: Celebrating 50 Years captures a group of longtime road warriors who've yet to lose their grit, joined onstage by John Prine, Sam Bush, Vince Gill, Jerry Jeff Walker, Alison Krauss, Rodney Crowell, Byron House, and Jerry Douglas. Rock and Roll Hall of Famer (and early Dirt Band member) Jackson Browne joined in, along with longtime member Jimmy Ibbotson, while a sold-out crowd sings along in the background. From country classics to deep cuts, the tracklist finds bandmates Jeff Hanna (guitars/vocals), Jimmie Fadden (drums/harmonica/vocals), Bob Carpenter (keyboards/accordion/vocals) and John McEuen (banjo/fiddle/guitar/mandolin) swapping harmonies, trading solos, and shining new light on a catalog of vital, vibrant music.

Long before Americana music had a name, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band helped lead the charge, mixing elements of country, bluegrass, folk, mountain music, and rock & roll into a sound that celebrated the full range of American music. With multi-platinum and gold records, strings of top ten hits such as “Fishin’ In The Dark” and “Mr. Bojangles”, multiple GRAMMY, IBMA, ACM Awards and nominations, CMA Awards and nominations, the band’s accolades continue to accumulate. Their groundbreaking “Will The Circle Be Unbroken” album has been inducted into the U.S. Library of Congress as well as the Grammy Hall of Fame. NGDB’s recording of “Mr. Bojangles” was also inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2010. In 2014 “Fishin’ In the Dark” was certified platinum for digital downloads by the RIAA.

    of this band - bar none. The only other one that comes close is the 'Will the Circle Be Unbroken - Farther Along" DVD. Though that one has Jimmy Ibbotson as a regular member not as a guest and this one has more of just the Dirt Band doing their numbers than the Farther Along with its plethora of guests covering songs. I would say get them both together as a good representation of what these musical legends were made of back then and now. That is, if you can still find them at a reasonable price!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Celebrating the circle of musical life with the NGDB
    Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    The absolute best of the three 50th anniversary NGDB releases, this live-in-concert two-disc cd/dvd set was recorded & filmed at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. How appropriate, yes? When the band was made up of a group of young long-haired, furry-faced hippie-types all those years ago, they came to Nashville to celebrate and bring together (at that time a seemingly impossible task) the old guard & the new. A music miracle of sorts, it all worked out wonderfully well; the result being the wildly successful (artistically, critically, commercially) and still much-revered classic, "Will The Circle Be Unbroken?" The band bridged the generation gap, opened the doors for others to follow, and staked its reputation on that tremendous break-through. Now, four decades and two "Circle" sequels on, they're the established elder statesmen and they're back at the Ryman to celebrate the incredible NGDB journey. And what a celebration it is! Guests from along their musical history include former member Jimmy Ibbotson (Ibby's back!), Jackson Browne, Jerry Jeff Walker, Rodney Crowell, John Prine, Alison Krauss, Vince Gill, among many others. But it's the Dirt Band's show and, as always, they deliver the musical goods. Highly recommended.

    Get it now while it's still available for anything less than hundreds of dollars! I just saw the last "Circle" DVD, entitled, "Farther Along", selling for that much, even used! Getting the CD/DVD combo ("Amazon exclusive") is totally the way to go. I can't praise this product highly enough. "Farther Along", their last go-around, is wonderful (if you have the opportunity to listen to/view it), and this time around, they actually managed to outdo themselves! Not only is this a cultural masterpiece, but the performances are stellar; if you are a musician or a serious listener, you will truly appreciate (and be floored by) the level of talent here. It just doesn't get any better than this. Also, the sound and video are superb throughout. They leave little if anything to be desired. As I am certain that other reviewers have perceptively noted, unlike so many other concert DVDs where the camera is jumping all over the place (and often not on the musicians), on this one they got it right. You see and hear it all, just as though you were front and center in the theater, and oh what an experience it is! Absolutely jaw dropping. If you have any deep appreciation for "roots" music, pick this up as fast as you can. You won't regret it!

    This is an awesome snapshot of a special time in the history of rock concept albums. I thought I had never heard it but it came back to me pretty quick . A little bit of English music hall madness, psychedelia and rock with a crazy story from a semi leprechaun or hobbit narrating the story of a quest for the moon and dangly. Get it - it’s fun.

    The fourth (and final?) instalment of the "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" series is a fitting summary of the band's roots/old time country endevours. I love it, as I did the others in the series, and this one also comes with a DVD that shows the concert where it was recorded. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and I have been on a 45 year journey through the songs and artists who made country musio. I've been waiting for this one for years. They started recording with the greats, and now the band is numbered amongst them.

    Unsere Freunde von der NGDB haben mal wieder Freunde eingeladen zu einem Live-Konzert eingeladen, um das 50. Jubiläum ihres Musikmeilensteines "Will the Circle be Unbroken" im September 2015 im Ryman, Nashville TN zu feiern. Und diese Feier ist Ihnen ganz toll gelungen.
    Wenn ich mal überschlägig rechne, sind die Jungs alle in den Siebzigern, aber das merkt man an keiner Stelle.
    Wer Country / Bluegrass / Americana mit vorwiegend akustischen Instrumenten mag, die noch dazu dazu virituos gespielt werden, kommt hier voll auf seine Kosten. Hier sind wirkliche Meister am Werk und es gibt viele tolle Soli von allen Instrumenten, sei es nur Dobro / Mundharmonika / Mandoline / Kontrabass / Fiddle / Banjo.
    Die Anzahl der musikalischen Gäste ist dieses Mal etwas geringer als bei dem letzten "Will the circle be unbroken"-Treffen zum 40-jährigem Jubiläum.
    Besonders erwähnen möchte ich hier die "String Wizards" Sam Bush und Jerry Douglas an Mandoline und Dobro - ihre Beträge sind wirklich ein "Ohrenschmaus"
    Alison Kraus liefert eine ganz tolle Gastperformance von 'Keep on the sunny side'
    Rodney Crowell, John Prine, Vince Gill und Jackson Browne sagen auch Hallo mit jeweils 2 Songs

    16 tolle Lieder, live dargeboten auf einer randvollen CD - was will man mehr!!!!!
