In 1971 John McEuen was the force behind the gathering of legendary Nashville bluegrass musicians who joined with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, a Southern California country-rock-jug band to create Will the Circle Be Unbroken, which Rolling Stone magazine declared to be the most important album to come out of Nashville. This landmark album celebrates its fiftieth year in March 2022, and McEuen tells the story of the making of the album, discusses each of its thirty-eight songs, and includes never-before-seen photos taken by the author and his brother Bill McEuen, who produced the album. After the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's cover of Mr. Bojangles became a surprise hit, McEuen asked Earl Scruggs if he would join the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on an album. Scruggs said yes--as did Doc Watson, Merle Travis, Jimmy Martin, Vassar Clements, Roy Acuff, Mother Maybelle Carter, and other country stars.
