Nitty Gritty Dirt Band – Will The Circle Be Unbroken: Farther Along (2003)

Let's face it - through ups and downs, membership shifts, and stylistic meanderings, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band has had more periods of excellence than any other American band. Few ensembles have more truly represented American music than the NGDB. This concert and the "making of" features exhibit clearly the respect the Dirt Band members have for American roots music, but also the respect they are given by contemporaries, legends and newcomers alike. The playing is excellent and the sound quality is amazing. Here's a chance to experience American roots music at an all-time high. Lot's of singer/songwriters today call themselves "American roots", but VERY few hit the level of quality and excitement the NGDB does. This DVD should serve as a primer for those wishing to know more about American roots music. Kudos to Jeff, Ibby, John, Bob and Jimmie for sticking with it and slowly but surely becoming the elder statesmen of Americana. We all owe them a debt of gratitude. ~Amazon
