	Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is an American country-folk-rock band that has existed in various forms since the original founding in California in 1965.
		The band's best-known song was a 1970 cover of Jerry Jeff Walker's folk song "Mr Bojangles".
		The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's peak in popularity – at least on the radio — came during the mid- to late-1980s, when they charted a string of successful songs.

		The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's beginnings lay with the New Coast Two, a folk duo consisting of Jeff Hanna (guitar, vocals) and Bruce Kunkel (guitar, washtub bass), formed while both were in high school in the early '60s.
		By 1972, several rock bands, most notably the Byrds and the Beau Brummels, had gone to Nashville seeking credibility from the country music community there, only to be received poorly by that community and to have their resulting work ignored by the press and public.
		The band had, by now, eclipsed the competition as a "crossover" act, reaching country and bluegrass audiences even as their rock listeners acquired a new appreciation for musicians such as Acuff and Carter.

		Musician John McEuen of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band was calling from frozen Devils Lake, N.D., but said he had warm thoughts that the circle of great roots music will be unbroken at the Suwannee Springfest at the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park and Campground March 20-23.
		The first Circle album by the smash hit Dirt Band was haled as a bridge builder between folk and country and between the beat generation and the pioneers of American roots music.
		Another sign that the Dirt Band has reached icon status is the fact that people recognize their sound as a unique genre.

		Dirt Band founding member John McEuen is hoping that President George W. Bush will hear the song too, and perhaps be moved by it the way his father, former President George H.W. Bush, was inspired by another Dirt Band lyric during his administration.
		Written by Dirt Band member Jimmie Fadden, "Workin' Man" is the lament of a man who has lost his farm and cannot find work.
		Rather, the band contacted a company that distributes singles for the record companies, and used its own data base to get the record to radio stations and follow up with a personal appeal to programmers.

	Michael Long on Johnny Cash & Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on National Review Online
		In particular, one would not have expected that a country-rock band formed in the detritus of '60s country music would leave a legacy, much less a legacy worth remembering, even less one that continues to grow and thrive.
		Yet that is just the legacy of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (NGDB), a group of ultra-sharp country-oriented musicians who, one day in 1972, decided to pay homage to their favorite acoustic and bluegrass musicians by persuading them to play with the band in the landmark recording "Will The Circle Be Unbroken."
		Not only did the Dirt Band take up the music, they also expanded on it and contributed to its living on, ultimately growing the canon to include the expressions of later generations, and creating new sounds that both respect and grow tradition.
