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

Come per film ed altre opere non mi esprimo sul valore artistico, non è questa la sede. Dico solo che se siete appassionati del country, della musica tradizionale del Sud degli USA, o solo della Nitty Gritty, e non avete quel mitico LP, non lasciatevi scappare questo CD. E se l'LP ce l'avete, pensateci lo stesso
Somehow this collaboration between the young Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and many of the older luminaries of country music seemed to lift the level of performance of all the musicians to somewhere special. The simplicity of the recording is delightful and free of the overproduction of many of the mainstream country recordings. Vassar Clements fiddling is a delight and the old timers not only give their all but also talk.
This album has a kind of uncomplicated sincerity and joy in music making that makes it unique and exceptional.
If you are not into old style country music this is one to get. It may not make you a devoted fan of the genre -it didn't make me one- but is a unique piece of musical history that is marvellous.
