Guide Review - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Will the Circle Be Unbroken 3

Thirty years after recording "Will The Circle Be Unbroken," the band reforms to do it all again. Although for some time the remaining members have been called simply The Dirt Band, they've restored their name (as well as a number of original members) and come back to the circle, a circle which will remain unbroken as long as this music is remembered and cherished by these musicians and others like them.

Fantastic picking and singing shine on every track. Jimmy Martin sings "Hold Watcha Got." Iris DeMent gives us the story of "Mama's Opry." Dwight Yoakam gives his crisp hillbilly twang to two tracks, "Some Dark Holler" and "Wheels."

This two-disc collection is what our kind of music - Country Music - was meant to be.
