 | | Today’s incarnation of The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band includes Jeff Hanna (vocals, guitar), Jimmie Fadden (vocals, drums, harmonica), Bob Carpenter (vocals, keyboards), Jimmy Ibbotson (vocals, bass, mandolin, guitar) and newest member Bernie Leadon, an original member of the Eagles (vocals, guitar, banjo, mandolin). |
 | | For example, Fleck was at the top of the banjo category so many times in Frets magazine music poll, that he was retired into the magazine’s “Gallery of Greats” so other musicians could have a crack at the number one slot. |
 | | USA Today noted that Bush’s dual abilities on mandolin and fiddle “allowed the band to play everything from old-time country to post-bop jazz.” Cowan has been singled out for his capable instrumental technique and his “soaring, scorching R&B” vocals. |
