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

all time classic.......2007-06-11

was the first record on blugrass I heard, is still an all time classic

I don't know, mate..........2007-05-29

Everyone seems to love this record, and I can see why. It's relaxed, old-tyme bluegrass from some of the masters, both (then) young and old. I don't want to come down too critically on this album, as it is quite solid, but - to my ears - that's the problem. It's solid without being inspirational.

Be honest- if you weren't familiar with the cast, it would just be another bluegrass album, no? It's just a hodgepodge of famous names, and very rarely do these all-star casts ever prove inspirational. Everyone seems to be enjoying everyone else's company, perhaps sipping a drink or two, and singing a few tunes here and there. Even Doc Watson sounds a little flat, save for "Black Mountain Rag." That should tell you something.

If you want FANTASTIC bluegrass, save your money. Buy a Kentucky Colonels or a Muleskinner record. Heck, buy an original album by any of these artists that have fire, inspiration, and are truly sensational.

A piece of history.......2007-05-16

I first purchased this album on in 1974 or there about. I recently re-purchased it on CD. It is as good today as it was then, maybe better. The music is breathtaking in it's straight forward simplicity and unadorned honesty. This is one if those albums that just happened at the right place and time. Sadly, so many of the folks on the album are no longer with us. This should be required listening for all the "young country" stars of today. Country music was never better than this.

Great Album, Great CD, Great Amazon!.......2007-02-21

Had been searching for this since hearing the LP in my youth. Just as good as I remembered. Love the additional tracks and great instrumentals. Great service from Amazon all the way to NZ.

Great old country music.......2007-02-11

I own the original LP and could no longer play it because I have gone to only CD's. I had been looking for the CD and was very happy to finally find it. This is a great classic BlueGrass album. I just love this music. If you love Bluegrass you need this album, it's a must have.

The original Will the Circle Be Unbroken is undoubtedly a landmark country-music recording. A peace offering between rock-reared longhairs and rock-ribbed Nashville patriarchs (and one matriarch, Mother Maybelle Carter), it exposed generations of upstart pickers and singers to old-time country music and its impact is felt to this day. The organizers of the 1971 sessions that led to the initial three-LP set, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, have produced two sequels, the first in 1989 and the most recent in 2002. This six-disc collection (including an all-star concert DVD) pulls together all three Circle sessions and, naturally, captures dozens of essential performances, plus a fair number of inessentials. Anyone with an interest in country music will want the original. Its mission is clear, the performances are inspired, and its significance is undeniable. The second Circle strays far afield from the original concept, bringing in the rather lightweight likes of John Denver and Michael Martin Murphy to mix with volume one holdovers Jimmy Martin and Earl Scruggs. The final volume is also more diffuse than one would like, though eminent guest stars such as Del McCoury, June Carter Cash, and Johnny Cash help it capture the spirit of the original more frequently than does its immediate predecessor. Completists will relish having all three collections in one box, while those who think three times around the circle is two too many are advised to stick with the 30th anniversary reissue of the initial album. --Steven Stolder

Will the circle be unbroken.......2006-02-23

I bought this boxed set after watching the DVD. previously I wasn't particularly a country fan, now I am converted. The recordings span 20 years, each one is excellent, the whole collection being superb. If you want to try "true" country, this is one of the best places to start. A lot of the artists are difficult to get hold of, but all together they make a CD set of many colours. Well worth the price, a thoroughly good collection; to be well recommended.

American Bluegrass Music - Yesterday and Today.......2005-01-27

"Trilogy" is a monument to American Bluegrass music. Within its seven hours of music is a living history of this American art form, from the 1930's until today. It brings together all three volumes of "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" and adds a DVD performance disc, and adds updated notes about the history of this three decade long project by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

No other collection of country music brings together "founders and originators" such as Mother Maybelle Carter, and the Carter Family, with their musical "children", Roy Acuff, Chet Atkins, Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Earl Scruggs, Merle Travis, and Doc Watson, and the third generation...Rosanne Cash, Vince Gill, Emmylou Harris, Allison Krauss, Tony Rice, Dwight Yoakum...some of the greatest talents of three generations and six decades of American music.

Each generation of singers and musicians remain faithful to the "roots" of this music, playing with acoustic guitars, banjos and fiddles. The mood is that of a group of talented friends, sitting in the living room, and singing and playing the songs they love the best. The feeling and heart in these performances can be felt, as well as heard.

The sound quality is exceptional. It is easy to forget these are recordings...it feels as if the musicians are sitting right next to you while they joke, chat, sing and play these songs.

This is too much music to digest in a single sitting. Instead, it is more enjoyable to select just one CD, savor it for a day or two, and then move on to another. I have no doubt that people will be listening to, and loving, this music a century from now. This will be one of the living treasures of American culture for generations to come.

It is amazing that a seven hour collection of some of the greatest music of our time is available for less than $50...less than $7 for each incredible hour of music. At this bargain price, even folks who own one or two of the previous sets included in "Trilogy" ought to buy this collection...and perhaps buy another for their children or a good friend.

5 stars are not enough.......2003-12-16

This is a dynmite collection of blue grass music. After 5CDs and you think it can't get any better there's a DVD that puts it all over the top. Can not say enough good things about this package....

Ultimate NGDB!.......2003-10-09

The ultimate NGDB collection piece I've ever owned. The bonus DVD is spectacular and superb quality - the guest artists on it are incredible. I own all three Circle volumes and have them scattered between the car, home and office. This is the best piece to have all three together in one package. Next on my list of NGDB 'must-haves in a perfect world' would be a new studio album.
I remain in NGDB heaven with my new box set!

"We've lost the living room," Emmylou Harris says before her ethereal version of "Mary Danced with Soldiers," "but today I think we got it back." Full of back-home warmth, inspired pairings--Roseanne Cash and John Hiatt, Levon Helm and the host Nitty Gritty Dirt Band--and a song selection that walks the line between traditionals and excellent contemporary material, somehow this follow up to the barrier-breaking first volume is never nostalgic nor aimless. In fact, it's nearly as good--even John Denver sounds inspired. Jimmy Martin sings "Sitting on Top of the World" as if his life depended on it, and Ricky Skaggs and Levon Helm both turn in vocal performances that stand comfortably beside any of their careers. --Roy Francis Kasten

El Bluegrass y sus seguidores en el mundo.......2006-02-27

Me siento muy afortunado al poder expresar mi opinión sobre este gran album de "The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band".
Soy chileno, (CHILE - SUDAMERICA) Y vivo en una cultura distinta y muy distante de estas raices, lo cual siempre me ha significado una gran dificultad para seguirla, pese a todo, he buscado la forma de estar siempre y desde muy temprana edad en contacto con ella.
Mi afición por la música, por el estilo rock.folk, y en especial por la guitarra, me ha llevado desde muy niño a acercarme a este estilo musical, tan rico en el uso de las cuerdas en toda su gama y de una composición tan simple que permite el virtuosismo de todos y cada uno de los instrumentos que la componen.
Considero que este CD muestra la evolución del "Bluegrass" en el tiempo y a través de las generaciones que lo interpretan, fundiendo en este album la raíz folklórica de este estilo, con el avance tecnológico de nuestros tiempos, sin perder el espíritu que lo identifica.

Vol. 2 SUPERIOR to Vol. 1.......2005-10-25

As a fan of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band for more than 30 years, it is easy for me to pick "Will the Circle Be Unbroken Vol. 2" as the band's best effort, by far. In 1989 the album won the Grammy Award for "Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal" plus two other Grammys for individual cuts, and won the Country Music Association's "Album of the Year." Pretty much enough said. Highlights include Paulette Carlson's vocal on "Lovin On the Side," John Denver's vocal on "And So It Goes," the incomparable John Prine on "Grandpa Was a Carpenter," and fine work by NGDB members throughout. (If you want to hear the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band in microcosm, listen to their version of Buddy Holly's "Rave On" on the "Uncle Charlie and his Dog Teddy" LP.)

In the sky, Lord, in the sky.......2004-09-16

Some 17 years after their groundbreaking album Will the Circle Be Unbroken, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band decided to record a "sequel". While the original album featured the Dirt Band performing with veterans of the Nashville scene, they are more inclusive this time, teaming with old timers, contemporaries of theirs and even younger people who they may have influenced. While the results are not as good as the original Circle album, (and how could they be?), this is still a solid, enjoyable album. While it is hard to pick a favorite here, I am partial to the Jimmy Martin sung "I'm Sitting on Top of the World". There is a lot to enjoy here. Recommended to fans of "roots" music.

Genuine heart-felt mountain music played by the best.......2004-07-12

I bought this CD back in 1990 and it is one my favorites. The audio is supreme. The music sounds like a bunch of friends having a good time. Cash, Prine, Helm, Hiatt and Cash are the standouts. Even John Denver has a great song. I am not a "country fan." My tastes are Gov't Mule / Phish / Allman Bros.

My favorite Circle album.......2004-06-28

There are three Circle collections. General opinion is that the first album is the best, the third album is a close second and that this is the weakest of the three. I love all three but this one particularly appeals to me. It has many traditional musicians and singers but also a few less obvious singers like John Denver, Levon Helm (of the Band), John Prine, Roger McGuinn (of the Byrds), Paulette Carlson (of Highway 101) and Bruce Hornsby. Perhaps it is the presence of such guests that some dislike but you can't please everybody.

Whatever you may think of the normal music that some of the guests have recorded, they all justify their place on this excellent album of traditional music, sometimes singing songs they've previously recorded, but adapted to a traditional setting. For some of them, it may have been their chance to record some traditional country without upsetting their fans or their record label. Both would understand that this was (for them) a one-off. They certainly made the most of their opportunity.

So we get Bruce Hornsby singing and playing piano on Valley road, but in a traditional country/bluegrass style. Roger McGuinn and Chris Hillman, both ex-members of the Byrds, sing and play guitar on You ain't going nowhere, a Bob Dylan song that was recorded by the Byrds in the sixties. Michael Martin Murphey sings and plays guitar on Lost river, one of his own songs. John Hiatt sings a duet with Roseanne Cash on One step over the line. John Prine sings and plays guitar on his song Grandpa was a carpenter.

Some of the songs are oldies like Life's railway to heaven (featuring Johnny Cash), I'm sitting on top of the world (featuring Jimmy Martin), the title track (featuring everybody but particularly Johnny Cash, Roy Acuff and Ricky Skaggs) and Amazing grace, an instrumental solo by Randy Scruggs. Other songs appear to be originals including And so it goes (featuring John Denver), Mary danced with soldiers (featuring Emmylou) and Lovin' on the side (featuring Paulette Carlson).

If you haven't got any of the Circle albums, this album is a great one to start with, especially if you're relatively new to traditional country music.

In the early '70s, the original Circle teamed the Dirt Band, a group of longhaired young country-rockers, with several country and bluegrass legends. In an era of polarization between young and old, it introduced countless baby boomers to that music, paving the way for the recent triumph of the O Brother, Where Art Thou soundtrack. This time, the Dirt Band reunites with Jimmy Martin, Earl Scruggs, and Doc Watson, veterans of the first Circle, and adds a host of other country, folk, and bluegrass greats. Despite several stellar performances, among them Del McCoury's bracing "Take Me in Your Lifeboat" and Martin's snappy re-creation of his 1950s favorite "Save It, Save It," most of what's here is merely pleasant. Attempts to replicate the feel of the original, complete with copious between-take studio chitchat and an acoustic guitar coda by Randy Scruggs, come off a bit self-conscious and forced. The original Circle remains a landmark, but in a time when cameo appearances and cross-generation collaborations are so common--Nashville calls them Vocal Events--what was once a unique concept often seems anticlimactic and mundane. --Rich Kienzle

Customer Reviews:

As good as I thought.......2007-06-09

I have the other two circle discs which are great, and this one hasn't disappointed one little bit. Buy it it's great

as expected.......2006-06-30

The goods arrived in excellent condition, as advertised and I am extremely satisfied with the prompt,careful service.

The circle HAS been broken.......2006-04-04

I have both Volume I & II so couldn't resist buying Volume III. The music was good, can't complain about good pickin' like that but I did notice that the original intent of the album is being re-thought it appears and it takes away from the entire concept for me.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken II was originally made to showcase the talents of the decendents and family of the original players/singers on Vol I. It was keeping the "circle" alive by bringing in fresh new sounds from new generations of musicians of those who played on volume I.

TOM PETTY?? Where does that come in to play? How does he fit in the circle? I was amazed that "this ones son" and "that ones son" were invited to play on this album, but the Huskey's (whom I loved for their bass playing) were totally ignored this go 'round.

Junior Huskey played Vol. I, Roy Huskey Jr. (Junior's son) played Vol. II. Why wasn't Roy's son John invited to play on Vol III? Isn't that the purpose of this album? To keep the circle alive? Roy Huskey Jr has 2 sons, one of which is a musician (not sure about the other one). Where was he? Given the tradition of the albums, I don't see how Tom Petty could possibly be invited over a 3rd generation family musician. I was very disappointed to find the Huskey's not on this album. They were the backbone of the first two.

Not just the Huskey's, but there are other noticeable's left out of this album as well. It's just a shame that such a great concept has gone down the tubes.

It seems to me, that in favor of the elite, the circle has most definitely been broken which really takes away from what the album was intended for.

Música de siempre y para siempre.......2006-02-25

Es una música que traspasa las fronteras de su propia cultura y de sus límites geográficos, llegando a lugares insospechados como es el extremo de Sud América.
Soy un seguidor del "Bluegrass" , asumiendo la gran dificultad que implica vivir en una cultura distinta y a una gran distancia.
Soy chileno y vivo en Santiago, donde se habla español y termina América, y desde donde puedo valorar la gran calidad de este CD.
El virtuosismo de sus músicos y la gran sensibilidad para trabajar el sonido de las cuerdas.
Gracias por este gran trabajo, y quedo a la espera del "WILL THE CIRCLE BE UNBROKEN, VOL. 4"

Too Much.......2005-07-07

Now, don't get me wrong, I am a huge fan of NGDB, and have at one time or another owned all (or most) of their albums on tape, CD, or vinyl. I saw them in 1972, and 1975 when (in my opinion) they were at their creative peak. They are (again in my opinion)
a wonderfully talented band, no matter who's in the line up.
But, I have to say I was never fan of multi-artist albums. It seems to me a band's creativity can become diluted by straining it through everone else's musical filter. The first Circle album was ok, simply because the concept was unique, and the songs were really good. The second and third time around, it has become tiresome and boring. The Dirt Band records so infrequently any more that it seems they put out a Circle album when they realize their fans are becoming restless. This newest version of Circle has to be the final one. How far can this concept be taken? The idea of long-haired, seeming rocker types doing country and bluegrass with stars of that genre in 1972 was novel and quite interesting, but this Circle album and the one right before it finds the Dirt Band stretching things a bit. Why can't NGDB record more original studio albums? Why can't they rekindle the innovative, original spark they had when I first discovered them? I realize people change as they get older, and musicians don't carry the creative fire with them throughout their long careers, but Lord a Mighty, this Circle stuff is getting old!

Amazon.com essential recording

A history-making event for both popular and country music, this album brought together the hippieish Nitty Gritty Dirt Band with some of the all-time legends of country and bluegrass music, including Roy Acuff, Doc Watson, Earl Scruggs, and Mother Maybelle Carter herself. It may not sound earth-shaking now, but in the days before Johnny Cash covered Soundgarden songs, there wasn't too much mixing going on between Nashville and the longhair camp. The result: an epochal meeting of minds exploring the joys of gospel, bluegrass, and old-time country music. Check out traditional acoustic gems like "Wildwood Flower," "Orange Blossom Special," "Soldier's Joy," and of course the heart-wrenching title track. Sixteen years later, Will the Circle Be Unbroken: Volume Two made for a worthy sequel to this seminal cross-cultural experiment. --Mary Park

Sangin' 'bout that old Kentucky blue..........2004-01-07

I first heard this masterpiece when I was in college. Some friends put on the 3-record set (Remember records?) and sang along with Wabash Cannonball I think it was. After listening to the whole collection, I got the set...and got the CDs for my birthday years later.

I don't think of it as a Nitty Gritty Dirt Band album, maybe unfortunately for them. Indeed, I'm not that much of a bluegrass fan (having had a housemate for a while who over-played the banjo.) But the music of this collection is fabulous. Just to listen to Doc Watson is incredible. (How can a guy pic that fast?) The songs are, I'm told, classics among the bluegrass repertoire.

From tunes Doc Watson's picking of which would make Alvin Lee jealous, to sentimental tunes, especially the title number, a kind of bluegrass requiem, you can't go wrong. I'm just now looking at the names of the 38 tunes on the set. Fantastic.

The performers are talking between the numbers too. Not frivolity but musical detail. They really are professionals despite their lack of credentials.

Oh, and I heard reference to the album--which I am proud to own--on public radio which was discussing the best-selling soundtrack to "O Brother, Where Art Thou," also bluegrass. They felt the soundtrack was reminiscent of this collection (which was assumed to be a distant memory to listeners.)

Anyway, between the classic numbers, and the classic performers, who other reviewers have named, I can't recommend the album strongly enough.

Be prepared, though, to hum tunes that strike a chord with you after you've listened to it. (I got in trouble where I worked as I listened to it, then sat at a computer humming and whistling all day! And I wasn't humming "Taps"!)

...You are my flower....that's bloomin' in the mountain so high....

Oh...sorry.

Get it, and enjoy it.

There's a better world a waiting.......2003-10-24

This is a classic American album. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band worked with several Nashville legends, like Mother Maybelle Carter, Earl Scruggs, Doc Watson, Roy Acuff, Merle Travis and Jimmy Martin. The veterans proved they could still keep up with the young upstarts. Most of the songs played were classic country songs. The whole thing works wonderfully well, and if you have any interest in Americana, you should get this CD.

Pickin' and grinnin'.......2002-02-19

I had been a fan of NGDB for a number of years thanks to exposure to the Uncle charlie album. I had always told myself I would buy Circle someday but always put it off. A number of years involved with the Grateful Dead pushed it on the back burner even farther. Finally purchasing it last year I was pleasantly surprised to find out that Vassar Clements did all the fiddling! J Garcia fans recognizing Vassar from the Old & in the Way sessions. On to the album-

I have to say it was no let down when I first heard this set on the stereo. First off it sounds like it was all recorded in one afternoon which is not a comment on sloppiness. Just that it has a real comfy comraderie about it. If you think you might be interested in bluegrass music, beg borrow or steal the second CD and have a listen. Nothing less than a rundown of bluegrass favorites, to wit- 'Lonesome fiddle blues', 'Foggy mountain breakdown', 'Orange blossom special', you get the idea. Personally I enjoy the appearance of Mother MaBelle Carter, a searing rendition of 'I Saw the Light', and a little ditty called 'Dark as a Dungeon'. 'Way Downtown'. There's only about 40 songs on the collection so there's quite a bit to choose from.

Doc Watson, Earl Scruggs, Vassar Clements, the NGDB. It's truly amazing. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Another great CD.......2002-02-06

I ordered this the same time I ordered "Oh, Brother Where Art Thou?" CD. Love it! While I am considered young to be a lover of this genre of music (37), I was raised by two "country folk" and my mother was raised in the Appalchians, people of all ages will love this CD.

WOW - the Greats all in one.......2002-01-29

This 2-CD set is a comprehensive work of the best tunes of Bluegrass/Country as it evolved into the 1970s, and the crew is representative of the best you can find of all the famous players of the 20th century. Also included are the conversations they had in the studio between tunes -- just ordinary conversation -- makes you feel like you're right there, sitting in on a gathering of the greats. Definitely one to own and play to death -- no matter where you are!

An absolute must for any true fan of American Blues and Folk.......2002-03-13

This album is so good it's unbelievable; It's such a great listening experience. I especially love the rendition of
"Will The Circle Be Unbroken" by The Staple Singers it carries so well and the emotions come through.

There are so many great songs on this album for true fans of classic blues and folk that I would almost venture
that it has no equal. The 60-page booklet is a nice added bonus, plenty of insight into the artists and songs.

If you have never really listened to bluesy folk music, give this disc a try. I definitely recommend adding this album
to any collection of American folk and blues recordings.

Another great entry in the series!.......2000-02-28

The entire series put out by Sony, "Soundtrack for a Century" is a wonderful enterprise, especially if you love historical curiosities as well as great hits. From the rare to the very popular, each volume brings a wealth of great music.

This particular volume is a curious mix from turn of the century gospel and blues to the folk music of The Clancy Brothers and the New Christy Minstrels. If you are a fan of the Clancy Brothers, nopte that there is an error in the liner notes. The notes say it is Tommy Makem singin "The Patriot Game" while in fact it is Liam Clancy.

While it is hardly a "soundtrack for the century" since it only contains artists who recorded for labels in the Columbia family, this volume and all volumes is a very valuable addition to a complete music library.

Traditional Harmony at it's Best.......2002-10-10

The Jordanaires are one of the smoothest quartets around. This CD features the original lineup. The release date says it was in the 90's, but the CD sounds like it came right out of Studio B in the 60's! I've been looking for a CD from them like this for some time!

Check out "Where No One Stands Alone". The best track by far!
