Two rap fans, one wearing a Kiss shirt - the other a Metallica shirt - listening to a classic country rock song. I love America!

[@10000liverpool]

This is not rock? Lol

[@CROONERSTONE]

Love. This. 🎩😎

[@vaguelydangerous]

Yes sir

[@timhonigs6859]

If you need another fishing song, Brad Paisley's "I'm gonna miss her" is the epitome of every fisherman's (and fisherwoman) home life.

[@jimwhite4801]

That song in funny as he'll. You gotta listen to it.

[@nbell817]

That song is hilarious! And Brad is a kick ass singer, song writer, and guitar player!

[@troyhagen9843]

She would love "Just Fishin" by Trace Adkins also. Great father-daughter song.

[@jeannieschmidt2217]

Yes absolutely - but they MUST watch the OFFICIAL video - it tells the whole hilarious story.

[@cwalokie9559]

Brad Paisley's Ticks is a good choice also.

[@russellrofe4849]

"Will The Circle Be Unbroken" is one of their best. It has been covered by lots of country, bluegrass, and gospel singers.

[@denroy3]

A beautiful collaboration with a lot of old time bluegrass performers. Just listened to it today, I kid you not.

[@scjimmyjoe]

Yes. Please do that song

[@nbell817]

Both of the entire Circle albums are great! Fantastic collaborations with other great musicians! ❤

[@denroy3]

@@nbell817 yep, have both on CD, used to have vinyl albums but lost to a fire.

[@ralphkern380]

"Will The Circle Be Unbroken" is an old - old country gospel song. Written early 1900s and made popular by the Carter Family in the 1930s. So the Dirt Band "arrangement " might be somewhat original, but not being 'covered'

[@joelilley6603]

I love this song. Please listen to their recording of "Mr. Bojangles". It is their signature song. Not recorded originally by them, but arguably the best version of the song. I promise you'll love it.👍👍 Edit: If you want to hear a fantastic Country band from California, listen to anything by Highway 101. They had a female lead named Paulette Carlson, and boy could she belt them out. Somewhere Tonight, The Bed You Made For Me, Whiskey If You Were A Woman, and many more. 👍👍

[@glenonoko4918]

I'll second the recommendation for the group "Highway 101"

[@tiralana8360]

While I do love their version of Bojangles I think my personal favorite is the one by Sammy Davis Jr.

[@thorfinsky1427]

The original artist Jerry Jeff Walker's version is the best........there's no arguing.

[@joelilley6603]

@@thorfinsky1427 Ok...it looks like you're the one arguing instead of just stating your preference like Tiralana. I'll take the high road.

[@philipb2378]

I'd love to see a reaction to Mr. Bojangles, but I think they're missing out if they don't react to the Tom. T. Hall version.

[@sf0tacticalguy]

Yes!!! I told you that you'd LOVE them! Next, "Dance, Little Jean"! The live version!

[@donaldriddle230]

One of my personal favs from NGDB Is a song called Dance Little Jean. But by far the best work they ever did was their Albums Will The Circle Be Unbroken, and Circle 2. These are true masterpieces, especially Circle 1. Guys, these albums were a collection of Bluegrass Ledgends who came together and recorded with the Dirt Band, all throughout tge album you can hear stories and conversations being held in a livingroom environment. When i say Bluegrass legends i mean people like, Johnny Cash's Mother n Law, Mother Maybelle Carter, Doc Watson, Merle Travis, Jimmy Martin, Roy Acuff, Earl Scruggs. The Circle 2 album was recorded tge same way nearly a,Decade later with some of the artists from the first one and some younger artists at the time like, John Denver, Michael Martin Murphy, Johnny and June Carter Cash, Rosanne Cash, John Prine, Emmylou Harris, Jerry,Douglas, Mark O Conner, Roy Husky Jr. Newgrass Revival, and several others.

[@brianbrekke9500]

They have 3 circle albums. They are about a decade apart or more . Each one has past, present and future bluegrass artists singing. This is the unbroken circle.

[@milkweed11]

In the 1970s a little rock band, nitty-gritty dirt band, sought out the Bluegrass legends of the time, mother May Bell Carter, Doc Watson, Jimmy Martin, And many many more to pay homage and learn from them. The album is named Will the Circle be unbroken, pure americana magic

[@brianbrekke9500]

Then repeated in late 80's and again in 2002. All have a different arrangement of artists

[@michaellockhart554]

Absolutely one of my favorite songs of all time

[@AuntK68]

No matter how many times you hear it, this song just never gets old!

[@nbell817]

Love the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band! In 1974, when I was 20, I was on a flight from Baltimore to San Francisco that made a stop in Denver and this group of guys got on and 2 of them sat next to me. It was the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and we talked the whole way. They were so cool! I was catching a flight from SF to Hawaii and they walked me to my connection and saw me off. Really nice guys. And cute as hell!! 😍

[@trinagilbert2409]

Love it. You would love Craig Morgan Almost Home.

[@nbell817]

@@trinagilbert2409 oh man. I just pulled it up on youtube and realised I've heard this song before. Hit me just as hard as the first time I heard it. All I can say here is that it speaks to me of the person I love most in life who suffers greatly and that I am unable to truly ease that suffering. It's a beautiful song, and at the same time absolutely gut wrenching.

[@marybaillie8907]

Have you ever heard such a happy tune? The smiles on your faces says it all. Just a great band with an appealing tune that makes you start smiling and moving. Great memory. Loved your reactions. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️ 🇨🇦 🇨🇦

[@floridaboy6051]

Long Hard Road is a great song by them. A great example of story telling and nostalgia.

[@jackgilchrist]

This band goes back in various lineups to the mid 60s, longer than I do. They started out as a jug band. I saw them in the late 80s, not long after this song was a big hit. They were playing my small-ish town fairgrounds, believe it or not, right after a rodeo. They were fantastic. Those guys could seriously jam on country, blues and rock. What stood out the most to me was the killer harmonica jams. It's a special memory for me cause I was with my Dad (RIP). It was a good day.

[@mikekling]

Yay!!! I knew you'd love this song!! This brings back memories of summer days of my childhood. Running in the fields, forts in the woods, swimming in the lake, watching the sunset and street lights turn on meant it was time to head home... 🌅🌄🏔️ Please revisit Paul Davis, America, Little River Band, and The Eagles. And consider Ruby Don't Take Your Love To Town by Kenny Rogers. Love you guys keep smiling!! 🥰

[@Hobodeluxe960]

love the dirt band. saw them live a few times. great group of guys. my recommendations for you are " Dance, Little Jean" , "Mr. Bojangles", "Partners, Brothers and Friends", "Stand A Little Rain"

[@ChicagoDB]

It's still one of the most popular songs you will ever hear in "Country" venues...any band or DJ can just play the lead in and the entire crowd will sing it all the way through.

[@neilmccomsey9550]

And dance

[@caretaker158]

If you guys want to continue down the good old country path, I highly recommend Mel McDaniel's "Louisiana Saturday Night"... it's a toe tappin' feel good song and I think you both would really like it.

[@brookinstephens204]

Not to mention he's also an Oklahoma native like them.

[@terifringer8560]

I was thinking this too!

[@RWH66]

Speaking of Louisiana, how about the Oakridge Boys, Leaving Louisiana in the Broad Daylight!!

[@rickhardyman2459]

Their cover of The Battle of New Orleans is a must listen

[@cindyOkieGirl]

Yes!

[@sharonpate5481]

I like Johnny Horton’s version. And Whispering Pines is a great one ☮️❤️👵🏼

[@RabbiSteve]

@@sharonpate5481 Me too. And that’s the one I first heard. My ex-wife and her entire family were Horton fans. But The Dirt Band’s cover is also very good. A close second.

[@mickeymayfield4192]

Always brings a smile hearing this group and this song

[@Shrykespeare]

I always thought of NGDB as a 70s band, but they had a lot of 80s songs too (this one was from 1987) . I think you'd love their song "Mr. Bojangles," a CONSUMMATE 70s song. I also recommend "An American Dream" (when they were simply called The Dirt Band". The singer's name on this track is Jimmy Ibbotson.

[@killianmancera5188]

I almost thought this was a different band! I would listen to the record of my dad’s that had Mr. Bogangles. More folky to me

[@peterjarvis7335]

The Nitty Gritty Dirt band are amazing! You gotta do more of them! Listen to their version of Mr. Bojangles, Will The Circle Be Unbroken, and anything from their Record titled Will The Circle Be Unbroken! Also listen to their big hit The American Dream!

[@TheNewRevolution]

The best song they ever did is one that you literally will never hear on the radio. It's called "Stand a little Rain". It wasn't a big hit and the lead singer didn't even sing it but every one I play it for asks who it is and loves the song.

[@grievousangelic]

Bob does a great job on that song. Jeff's lead guitar smokes in this one.

[@TheNewRevolution]

@@grievousangelic Yes. I had never heard the song until I saw them live some years ago. After seeing them live I had to hear the studio recording. I was shocked by how great it sounded...and even more shocked that it hadn't been a massive hit. I don't recall ever hearing it being played on the radio. Such a shame, I never get tired of hearing it.

[@ramondwilliam1307]

A Beautiful song. I love it.

[@surlechapeau]

Jay & Amber, you'll love their "Mr. Bojangles"!! The best cover of "Mr. Bojangles" was by Sammy Davis Jr.! The original was by Jerry Jeff Walker.

[@timhelgeson7453]

Have seen them 10 times live, last year even and they still sound amazing. Since you love Linda Ronstadt, check out An American Dream-she sings with them on it. Too many more to list..

[@aebalc]

An American Dream - does not get the recognition it deserves - It gives me a Jimmy Buffett feel.

[@timhelgeson7453]

@@aebalc It was written by Rodney Crowell, who also wrote Stars on the Water that Jimmy covered, so pretty cool connection!

[@travis8981]

Dance Little Jean and Mr Bojangles are two of their songs you really have to listen to! They are awesome

[@kevinhooper3003]

The Descriptions in this song are so thick that you can almost smell the dirt and the worms. I saw the title and I knew that Amber would love it. Their highest charting song was Mr. Bojangles, which hit #9 in 1971.

[@jeffchampagne5587]

Linda Ronstadt was good friends with the people in this band and they had a hit with the song called “an American dream” and Linda sings on it with them so you should definitely take a listen

[@gkiferonhs]

Another fun-named band is Quicksilver Messenger Service. The song "Fresh Air" is a good place to start. It's a real vibe song.

[@chrisedwards7095]

The NGDB came out along the same time as John Denver and the Eagles. Some of their hits are "Dance Little Jean", "Partners, Brothers and Friends" and "I've Been Lookin'". "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" was a three album set of acoustic music they did in 1972. On the album they had Mother Maybelle Carter, Roy Acuff, Earl Scruggs, Merle Travis and a few other older Country and Folk singers.

[@clayrandolph7861]

Their album "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" brings together some of America's greatest country and bluegrass artists. Listen to "Tennessee Stud" by NGDB and Doc Watson for a treat.

[@jeremyfagner6808]

"Dance Little Jean" is a must. It is a very heartwarming song.You two will LOVE it.

[@neildonley9626]

"Ripplin' Waters" is another great song by the NGDB. One you can sit back and close your eyes to. People are recommending Mr. Bojangles. Theirs is a great cover. But, David Bromberg's live version is the best. (David used to tour and play with Jerry Jeff for a couple of years. He tells the story behind the song.)

[@elegantgypsyrose5328]

Ripplin Waters is one of my all time favs

Rippling Waters is my favorite song of theirs.

[@jeffsamuels3557]

I had the pleasure of working with them when I was at UA Records. Great group of talented musicians and nice men. Still making great music

[@patriciadewitt3427]

My all time favorite group. Given the money I'd follow them anywhere. I drove from Anacortes, Washington to Libby, Montana to see them do one show in the high school gym. :-) They started in 1966 and they're still touring. Love them - great music. Especially the first Circle album.

[@richardb6260]

TNGDB have a lot of song covers that I tend to think of as the definitive versions. They include Mr. Bojangles, House at Pooh Corner (written by Kenny Loggins), and Some of Shelly's Blues (written by Michael Nesmith).

[@cindyOkieGirl]

Some of Shelly's Blues is a great one for a sweet song with that country twang....love it!! I made some cassettes from their Dirt, Silver and Gold album set, and wore them out driving to and from college and singing my head off.🙂 Great country/bluegrass music, both super old remakes and newer stuff. And yes, Jay and Amber they have banjo AND harmonica, lol. Please dig out some of the older stuff recommended in the comments and give them a listen. I think you will love them. Another good one covered by them is Rocky Top.

[@nitwitt50]

YES, YES THE DIRT BAND❤❤❤ Jeff Hanna, from the dirt band, also did a single with Nicolette Larson, "Make a Little Magic" a really pretty song.

[@PinkAndGoldGlitter88]

This band has so many good songs. I have seen them in concert, and they are wonderful. Please react to more of their music.

[@regankercheval9296]

This has been my favorite song since it came out. I grew up a river rat, but do not live near water now. This song takes me back to my favorite happy place. I tricked out my kayak with lyrics " Crickets are singin' and lightnin' bugs are floatin' on the breeze". I get comments from strangers who love this song, too! Fisherman, remember: We may not catch any fish, but we sure will show those worms who's boss!!

[@RoGueNavy]

Amber would cry tears of happiness at their song, "Dance Little Jean". So sweet.

This is one of those songs that can turn a sour day around. The Dirt Band is a legendary band and their "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" Album is a classic and the title song is full of legendary singers. For more California (Bakersfield) Sound, check out some early Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, The Byrds, or The Desert Rose Band, to name a few.

I LOVE Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and they have a huge catalog you can dive into for some country bluegrass with lots of banjo. But I have another band for you to try out and a song that Jay will enjoy...Take Me Back to Tulsa by Asleep at the Wheel. They have a Texas Swing sound and are a lot of fun to listen to. As a side note, if you like them, they do a lot of touring and come to Oklahoma quite often. Another song by them that you might like is Route 66 (for obvious reasons 😉)

[@PaHeadhunter]

Love that you guys listened to this. You’ll love their version of ‘Mr. Bojangles.’ Check our ‘American Dream’ or ‘Dance, Little Jean’ too.

[@trudyroberts2133]

They played at The Cellar Door in Georgetown in DC before their career took off. Fantastic rock-a-billy group!

Just a bit of trivia, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band was the first American band to tour the Soviet Union back in 1977. That was where I saw them perform while I was serving as a Marine Embassy Guard in Moscow.

[@markruehrmund45]

Will the Cicle be Unbroken is a fantastic album, they play each song with a different legend of blue grass or country music. Best part of the album is they leave the tape running in between songs so you really get a feel for being in the recoding studio with them definitely worth a listen..

It came all the way out of good ol' Long Beach, California ‼️ I remember getting drunk for the first time in my life at one of the band's early concerts in about 1967. I think it was a great concert, though I can't be sure, as my 16-year old brain couldn't recall much next day.

As I replied to another comment, another great bluegrass fishin’ song is Steve Martin & The Steep Canyon Rangers’ “Yellow Backed Fly”. It’s a great story song. That group is great. And BTW, The Dirt Band *started* So Cal. But they have had lots of members. They started like 60 years ago. Many members have been through. And some have been from many other places. And they moved from So Cal and lived in Colorado for quite some time. Their cover of Steve Goodman’s “Colorado Christmas” is just beautiful and now one of my favorite Christmas songs. I just saw them live for my birthday two days ago in Stockton (Central Valley, California) at the Bob Hope Theater. They were amazing and they played “Fishin’ In The Dark” among many others. Jimmie Fadden is the guy playing harmonica on this and everything they ever did. He has been with them since the beginning and also plays drums - usually at the same time he’s playing harmonica! Here’s a link to “Yellow Backed Fly”. You will love this song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZXcp4mYpqhnf9k

My first concert in high school on my 18th birthday, it was close by my little home town in a neighboring college town (Alva, OK). We had a good time, went with my best friend. Mr. Bojangles is one of their hits, should watch them live too, lots of fun. The next concert we wanted to go to was Janis Joplin and the Holding Company, well she died a couple of weeks before - but that concert went on and it just wasn't the same...just missed out on getting to see her.

[@MrBobNLinda]

These guys have some of the most amazing vocal harmonies and this one was billed as the "Song for the Summer" when it was released. Another of those for a different year was Alan Jackson's song "It's 5:00 Somewhere", featuring Jimmy Buffett. These were songs that became instant "hits" based on the time of year that they were released.

" Stand a little rain " is a beautiful song by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

Somebody commented that they thought that the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band came out in the mid 70s early 80s. (That’s when they started most of their hits) but Actually their very first self titled album came out on Liberty records in March of 1967, their first hit off that album was “Buy for me the rain” 🎶🤘

You used to ask about bluegrass recommendations. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band put out one of the all time best blue grass records called Will the Circle Be Unbroken, with all the great old time country artists in Nashville (for example Earl Scruggs, Merle Travis, Mother Maybelle Carter, and Doc Watson, for starters) back in the early 70s. A must album for true blue grass fans.

The singer on this track is Jimmy Ibbotson. He is originally from Pennsylvania... but he can twang like anything. Other Nitty Gritty Dirt Band tracks you should try are: Dance Little Jean, Rippling' Waters, Long Hard Road, and their recording of the Bruce Springsteen song called Cadillac Ranch. Good stuff.
