C a mpus The Dirt Band has been around a long time with its roots extending back before 1966. They made a couple of albums for Liberty Records eons ago and broke up in 1968. In 1969 they reformed but without Jackson Browne, who was an original member. This group performed on the Russell House patio for $500 just prior to releasing what became a classic album, Uncle Charlie and His Dog Teddy. From this one album came three highly successful singles: "Some of Shelly's Blues," "Mr. Bojangles" and "House on Pooh Corner." Their next album. All thp finori Timps ramp in 1971 Rvpn fhnntJh it wasn't a major success, it did follow the tradition of their previous record, being highly energized, with much fooling around, footstomping, handclapping bluegrass-country-rock music. Dropping into obscurity, The Dirt Band inaugurated plans in late 1971 for what sounded like a highly-implausible project, trying to unite the most legendary figures of country and bluegrass music, accompanied by the Dirt Band, for a three-record set. Aided by Hoy Acuff, Earl Scruggs, Mother Maybelle Carter, Doc Watson, Merle Travis, Jimmy Martin and Vassar Clements, the land mark album Will the Circle Be Unbroken was released in late 1972, and the Dirt Bana regained its position as one of America's most prominent bluegrass-rock bands. Entertaining concerts with large percentages of audience participation had always been the Dirt Band's forte. Their next album, Stars and Stripes Forever, tried to capture that enthusiasm on a tworecord live set. Unfortunately Stars and Stripes Forever offered no additional new material for the listener to enjoy. What was worse, the majority of the live cuts were done poorly, making shambles of the originals. The latest effort by the Dirt Band, Dreams, released last fall, combines traditional classics like "The Battle of New Orleans" and "Hey Good Looking" with some of the more typical Dirt Band sounds like "The Bayou Jubilee" and "Raleigh-Durham Reel". Even though the Dirt Band has shortened its name from the more familiar Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, the incredibly enthusiastic music and competent personnel remains the same with John McEuen on fiddle, banjo, mandolin, acoustic guitar, dobro and lap steel guitar; Jeff Hanna on lead vocals, acoustic and electric guitars; Jimmie Ibbotson on drums and harmonica; and Jim Fadden on bass, lead vocals and accordion. All their skills combine gracefully to create the unique Dirt Band sound.
