Free Music Notes for Will The Circle Be Unbroken, Vol. 3

Free Music Review: Still worth it!
Hit: 4 Stars

This is not the landmark CD of vol. I. It lacks the generational impact of that landmark event and seems to lack the good feelings of vol. II. These "short comings" mean that the third CD is the weakest of the family NOT that is a bad one. Coming in third, in a race with the first two CDs is not the same as being a poor CD. I like this one the least but listen to it often and always enjoy it. It shows me how bluegrass has grown and changed but still manages to keep the circle unbroken and remain true. This is the third generation working with the second generation and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. You can hear the changes in presentation and how the third generation differs from the first generation. Some of the songs do not work well and this detracts from the overall value. However, my clinkers differ from people I have talked to about this. This completes the series and you will want it.

Will The Circle Be Unbroken, Vol. 3 Poster

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
