Nitty Gritty Dirt Band With Dee White
NITTY GRITTY DIRT BANDWith a refreshed lineup and newfound energy, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band remains one of themost accomplished bands in American roots music.The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band played their first gig in 1966 in Southern California as a jug band andby 1969 had become a cornerstone of the burgeoning country-rock community. Their careerbreakthrough came in 1970 with the release of the record Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy andthe single “Mr. Bojangles,” a folksy Top 10 pop hit that remains a staple of their live show.During a tour stop in Nashville around that time, Earl Scruggs and his family came backstage tosay hello. That introduction led to a friendship and some of the connections the band needed torecord Will the Circle Be Unbroken. That three-disc album brought Nitty Gritty Dirt Bandtogether with a number of country, folk, and bluegrass legends. Heroes like Roy Acuff, MotherMaybelle Carter, Jimmy Martin, Merle Travis, and Doc Watson joined the scruffy, young bandto record country music standards such as “I Saw the Light” and “Keep on the Sunnyside.” Theacclaimed project is considered a landmark recording in American music.Nitty Gritty Dirt Band earned a pop resurgence in 1980 with “An American Dream” and “Makea Little Magic.” Those singles also found traction on the country chart, setting the stage for amajor run at country radio. The band secured 16 Top 10 country hits between 1983 and 1990,including three No. 1 singles: “Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper’s Dream),” “Modern DayRomance,” and “Fishin’ in the Dark.” Bernie Leadon, a founding member of The Eagles, playedin the band from 1986 to 1988 filling a vacancy by longtime member John McEuen.At the peak of their country career, the band toured Europe with Johnny Cash and June CarterCash, who hinted that they’d love to appear on a sequel to Will the Circle Be Unbroken, if the band ever decided to make one. That gesture convinced the band to get back in the studio torecord another all-star album. Circle Volume II featured Johnny and June, as well as RosanneCash, Emmylou Harris, Levon Helm, John Hiatt, Bruce Hornsby, John Denver, Ricky Skaggs,New Grass Revival, and many other marquee names – not to mention encore performances byRoy Acuff, Jimmy Martin, and Earl Scruggs.

I’m still a fan of the group today. Being in The Oak Ridge Boys is the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.” The two, along with tenor Joe Bonsall and baritone William Lee Golden, comprise one of Country’s truly legendary acts. Their string of hits includes the Country-Pop chart-topper Elvira, as well as Bobbie Sue, Dream On, Thank God For Kids, American Made, I Guess It Never Hurts To Hurt Sometimes, Fancy Free, Gonna Take A Lot Of River and many others. In 2009, they covered a White Stripes song, receiving accolades from Rock reviewers. In 2011, they rerecorded a thirtieth anniversary version of Elvira for a Cracker Barrel Old Country Store project. The group has scored 12 gold, three platinum, and one double platinum album—plus one double platinum single—and had more than a dozen national Number One singles and over 30 Top Ten hits.
