The original Will the Circle Be Unbroken is undoubtedly a landmark country-music recording. A peace offering between rock-reared longhairs and rock-ribbed Nashville patriarchs (and one matriarch, Mother Maybelle Carter), it exposed generations of upstart pickers and singers to old-time country music and its impact is felt to this day. The organizers of the 1971 sessions that led to the initial three-LP set, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, have produced two sequels, the first in 1989 and the most recent in 2002. This six-disc collection (including an all-star concert DVD) pulls together all three Circle sessions and, naturally, captures dozens of essential performances, plus a fair number of inessentials. Anyone with an interest in country music will want the original. Its mission is clear, the performances are inspired, and its significance is undeniable. The second Circle strays far afield from the original concept, bringing in the rather lightweight likes of John Denver and Michael Martin Murphy to mix with volume one holdovers Jimmy Martin and Earl Scruggs. The final volume is also more diffuse than one would like, though eminent guest stars such as Del McCoury, June Carter Cash, and Johnny Cash help it capture the spirit of the original more frequently than does its immediate predecessor. Completists will relish having all three collections in one box, while those who think three times around the circle is two too many are advised to stick with the 30th anniversary reissue of the initial album. --Steven Stolder

 Nitty Gritty Dirt Band: The Circle Trilogy December 3, 2008
You won't hear much on these CD's that sounds like the Dirt Band as we knew them in the 70's. The real worth of this collection lies in the preservation of grass roots country tunes, lyrics and voices over a span of three decades. Remarkable and admirable!
The inclusion of live conversation is a nice, personal touch, but unfortunately the volume is a bit lower on those segments and it's sometimes necessary to adjust volume up and down as needed to hear.
The collection is referred to as 'deep Americana' and is a mix of country, gospel, bluegrass and folk. Many artists appear, but particular honor seems to be given to Mother Maybelle Carter. Nice touch! A real collectible.

Discussed by phone a problem with trying to order this product from Hastings, which was entirely dissatisfactory.
My only suggestsion is that you make your toll free number more accessible.
The item turned out to be on sale,so I got it for much less expensive than I would have. It was a replacement, since I lost my original copy bought in 2004, and I treasure it for sentimental reasons besides loving the music, so I was very impressed with ordering it, and did so immediately after talking with your agent. He even credited my account $5.00 for my experience with Hastings, and said he took notes.
Ultimately Hastings did credit my return of their sending me the wrong product, I have to say, in a timely matter, so that helped.

I was unable to assess this product because the disks were faulty. I could not play Disk #6 on any CD palyer and the others would not play fully on my car player.
Absolutely the best December 18, 2007
This is a wonderful collection of artists and music assembled in one set that can not be duplicated.
For those of you who love classic country and bluegrass this is just excellent music, great selections and a one of a kind boxed set.

I have always loved the Circle CD's but this trilogy set is totally awesome with the combination of the original players and Nitty's version all in 1 box, can't be beat.
