Send us a textWith one of the most iconic lineups in its storied history, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band continues to shine as one of the most accomplished groups in American roots music. Featuring founding members Jeff Hanna (lead vocals, guitar) and Jimmie Fadden (drums, harmonica, vocals), along with longtime bandmate Bob Carpenter (keys, vocals), who has been with the band since 1980, and rounded out by Jim Photoglo (bass, vocals), Jaime Hanna (guitar, vocals), and Ross Holmes (fiddle, mandolin, vocals), the Dirt Band has captivated audiences for nearly six decades.Their career began in 1966 as a jug band in Southern California, quickly rising to prominence by 1970 with their breakthrough album Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy, featuring the hit single "Mr. Bojangles." Over the years, they've made an indelible mark on American music with hits like “Fishin' In The Dark,” “Modern Day Romance,” and “Long Hard Road.” The band is also celebrated for their three Will The Circle Be Unbroken records, which featured collaborations with bluegrass, country, and folk legends such as Earl Scruggs and Doc Watson. These efforts earned the Dirt Band GRAMMY, CMA, and IBMA Awards, while their PBS special Circlin' Back! won an Emmy.In 2022, the band released Dirt Does Dylan to widespread critical acclaim, continuing their legacy of musical excellence. Bob Carpenter, a recent guest on Midwest Mixtape Podcast, discussed the band's journey and the exciting next chapter—ALL THE GOOD TIMES: The Farewell Tour.

For his 99th birth anniversary, WNCW honored the late great Earl Scruggs by sharing portions of interviews with artists who knew him, broadcasting stories ranging from brief encounters in young adulthood, like Sierra Hull's memories of Earl, on to years of friendship and collaboration with guests like John McEuen and Pete Wernick (note: Sierra Hull will also be our featured guest in her upcoming episode). These conversations were rich and deep, and helped me understand Earl Scruggs as the man in ways that were at turns surprising, but always inspiring. I asked everyone here essentially the same two questions: tell us your favorite memories or stories about Earl, and talk about his impact as an artist and how that legacy continues since he has been gone. It all adds up to three and a half hours of audio (!), and it should be no surprise that there is a ton of gold to be mined in all those conversations; here is a synopsis, a sampling of everyone's thoughts, insights and memories. This episode hones in on the stories that reveal Earl Scruggs as a humble genius, a quiet and kind man who was in so many ways the same farm boy and mill worker from the foothills of western North Carolina even after living in a mansion in the heart of Nashville. Plus, there is plenty of talk about the genius and enduring legacy of Earl Scruggs, whose namesake lives on in the form of not only his vast catalog of recordings, his songwriting and revolutionary playing style, but also in the Earl Scruggs Center in his home county, housed in the county courthouse built in 1907 in downtown Shelby NC, as well as the Earl Scruggs Music Festival, which began in 2022 and continues on Labor Day weekend in 2023 in nearby Tryon NC. Earl Scruggs In this episode we welcome Kristin Scott Benson, Travis Book, Alison Brown, Sam Bush, Jeff Hanna, Vince Herman, John McEuen, Jim Mills, Earl's nephew J.T. Scruggs, Pete Wernick, and even my dad, who gives us a glimpse of what a Scruggs family gathering was like in the 1950s.

This weekend on Tent Show Radio, savor the return of legendary country-rock group Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, with a look back on their 2021 performance at Big Top Chautauqua. This episode features performances of Bob Dylan's “You Ain't Going Nowhere,” “Buy For Me The Rain,” Bob Dylan's “You Ain't Going Nowhere,” John Prine's “Grandpa Was A Carpenter,” “Fishin' In The Dark,” and “Mr. Bojangles.” Originally founded in 1965 as a small jug band, by 1969 Nitty Gritty Dirt Band had become a cornerstone of the burgeoning country-rock music scene. Their career breakthrough came in 1970 with the release of their album Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy, which saw the band embrace a straight, traditional country and bluegrass sound. The album included one of the band's best-known hits, a cover version of Jerry Jeff Walker's “Mr. Bojangles” which spent 36 weeks on the charts and rose to number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1971. The following year, the band released their 7th studio album, the critically acclaimed, Grammy-nominated, and certified platinum Will The Circle Be Unbroken. The record featured collaborations with numerous country, folk, and bluegrass legends like Earl Scruggs, Mother Maybelle Carter, Roy Acuff, Jimmy Martin, Doc Watson, and others. The critically acclaimed project has since been revered as a landmark recording in American music. Other notable hits include, “Am American Dream,” “Make a Little Magic,” Billboard No. 1 hit “Long Hard Road (The Share Cropper's Dream),” Billboard No.1 hit “Modern Day Romance,” and Certified Platinum Billboard No. 1 hit “Fishin' In the Dark.”  In 2015, the group acknowledged their incredible history by filming a 50th-anniversary concert at the Ryman Auditorium, which later aired on PBS, that included appearances from many special guests including John Prine, Jackson Browne, Vince Gill, and many more. The band continues touring and since 2018 operates as a six-piece ensemble that includes Jeff Hanna (guitar & lead vocals), Jimmie Fadden (drums), Bob Carpenter (keyboards), Jim Photoglo (bass, guitar), Ross Holmes (fiddle & mandolin), and Jaime Hanna (guitar.) With a refreshed lineup and newfound energy, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band remains one of the most accomplished bands in American roots music.

Amy Wright chats with members of internationally acclaimed American roots music group the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, including founding member Jeff Hanna. The primary focus for today's talk is the group's newest studio album, Dirt Does Dylan, in which they cover an excellent collection of Bob Dylan tunes. There's been perhaps no one more influential for Jeff Hanna than Bob Dylan, so the creation of this album is very fitting. They also talk about the band's history and what has inspired them along the way.Part of Pantheon Podcasts   

Episode 214: Will The Circle Be Unbroken, released 50 years ago, revolutionized how country and bluegrass music were perceived by mainstream and youth culture in America. The 3-LP set of 37 songs came about when west coast country-rockers The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band persuaded a cast of venerated elders of Nashville to collaborate with them over a week at Woodland Studio in East Nashville. Craig spoke with founder Jeff Hanna, distinguished alumnus John McEuen and new generation member Ross Holmes about the band's history, the Circle album and the new release Dirt Does Dylan.

Coming down the homestretch of Season Three of The Load Out Music Podcast, we settle into our new digs in one of the great music venues in St. Louis – The Old Rock House. Most important, we welcome yet another Grammy Award winner in Jeff Hanna, founder and longest serving member of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. In the 1960s, the Detroit-native landed in Long Beach, California, where music was being transformed. The sounds of folk, rock, country, bluegrass and blues were being blended in from San Francisco to Los Angeles into what is today considered roots, Americana or alt-country. But it was the bands at that time, in that place that were doing it – The Byrds and Flying Burrito Brothers (both led by past guest Chris Hillman), Poco, Emmylou Harris, New Riders of the Purple Sage, The Buffalo Springfield, Linda Rondstadt Crosby, Stills and Nash, the Grateful Dead, Joni Mitchell and, of course, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Hanna started hanging out at McCabe's guitar shop with a cast of characters that would shape the alt-country movement: Les Thompson, Jimmie Faddon, Ralph Barr, the legendary Jackson Browne and other founding or future members of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (NGDB) such as former Load Out guest John McEuen. NGBD's first big hit was a cover of Jerry Jeff Walker's “Mr. Bojangles.” But when the legendary Earl Scruggs and Doc Watson agreed to record with NGDB, it set in motion a recording effort in Nashville akin to The Band's Last Waltz documentary film and album. It was released in 1972 as Will the Circle Be Unbroken, which is in the Grammy Hall of Fame as well as The Library of Congress. Rolling Stone called the first record (there were ultimately three), “The most important record to come out of Nashville” and a 2004 ZAGAT survey called it “the most important record in country music.” True to form, Hanna just downplayed it and instead applauded those around him. “I think most of just felt like, how lucky are we get to make records,” he told me. “It was such a communal project.” All along, Hanna – in and out of NGBD – has succeeded. From the NGBD's start in 1966 to its 1985 country number one song "Modern Day Romance,” followed up by the smash hit "Fishin' in the Dark" in 1987. The song Hanna co-wrote with Marcus Hummon and Bobby Boyd in 1994, "Bless the Broken Road," won a Best Country Grammy Award for Rascal Flatts in 2006. Most recently, Hanna and NGBD – now featuring Hanna's son Jaime on vocals and guitar – has taken on another American institution near and dear to their hearts in Bob Dylan's songbook. Dirt Does Dylan, a ten-track album highlighting some of the gems from Dylan's vast catalog, was just released with stellar cuts of songs like “It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It Takes a Train to Cry,” “Forever Young” and other Dylan hits. Throughout our conversation, Hanna spends most of his time heaping praise on everyone in his circle but himself. From his longtime NGBD bandmates to his wife Matraca Berg and son, contributors to Circle like Levon Helm, producer Ray Kennedy and others – Hanna's intention is summed up in how he described the experience of recording Will the Circle Be Unbroken. “I'm so happy to be in that crowd.” Please enjoy the latest episode of The Load Out Music Podcast with founder Jeff Hanna of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is an American music legend—a https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/gallery-backstage-at-the-2010-grammys (Grammy)-winning outfit that's also been inducted into the https://www.premierguitar.com/gear/gallery-guitars-of-the-country-music-hall-of-fame-and-museum (Country Music Hall of Fame). In this group's case, what becomes a legend most is still working as hard as when Jeff Hanna co-founded the NGBD in 1966. So, when PG's https://www.premierguitar.com/pro-advice/last-call/nashville-broadway-bars (John Bohlinger) recently checked in with Hanna and his guitar-playing son, Jaime Hanna, they were rehearsing at Nashville's SIR for an ambitious spring and summer Nitty Gritty Dirt Band tour supporting a new album, https://orcd.co/dirtdoesdylan (Dirt Does Dylan), to be released May 20.

This month's guest, Matraca Berg, grew up in a musical family. Her mother Icee Berg (yep, real name!) was a songwriter and session singer who at first wasn't crazy that her daughter wanted a career in country music but later became her best teacher. Her stepfather, Dave Kirby, was a songwriter whose credits include the Gene Watson classic I've Got Memories to Burn and Charlie Pride's Is Anybody Goin to San Antone. The family lived in Nashville and often hosted parties featuring writers and singers. So, it stands to reason that being around that kind of environment would kinda rub off on a person. But in Matraca's case, it was more than just a smudge; she was gifted the talent- and the drive- to have over 50 of her songs recorded, including several that helped female artists to dominate country music in the 1990s like they have never before... or since. She is a CMA and ACM-winning 2008 Nashville Songwriting Hall of Fame inductee who's quick to give credit to her co-writers, she's married to Jeff Hanna of the legendary Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and she's a pretty great solo artist too.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Y pensamos conservarla y compartirla. "Era mucho mayor entonces. Soy más joven ahora". Así podíamos escuchar en “My Back Pages”, una canción grabada en la primavera de 1964 por Bob Dylan para su álbum de aquel mismo año Another Side Of Bob Dylan. Lo hizo con el título provisional de “Ancient Memories” y acompañándose exclusivamente de su guitarra con una melodía original muy parecida a "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" de su disco anterior. Para abrir nuestro programa de hoy hemos querido recordarla en directo durante 1992 en la conmemoración de los primeros 30 años de la carrera del bardo. Una versión en la que intervenían por orden de aparición: Roger McGuinn, Tom Petty, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, el propio Dylan y George Harrison. Pura Americana. Lloyd Green y Jay Dee Maness, dos de los más grandes instrumentistas de steel guitar, intervinieron en distintas canciones de un álbum de los Byrds titulado Sweetheart of the Rodeo, convertido en la quinta esencia del country rock en 1968. Cuando se cumplió el medio siglo de su publicación, los dos resucitaron conjuntamente aquel disco seminal bajo el nombre de Journey to the Beginning: A Steel Guitar Tribute to the Byrds, una recreación instrumental canción a canción de las 11 que formaron Sweetheart of the Rodeo… pero con un añadido; y es que su tema de cierre fue esta versión del que fuera tema de apertura "You Ain’t Goin 'Nowhere", la legendaria composición de Bob Dylan. Para la ocasión contaron con las voces de Jim Lauderdale, Jeff Hanna de la Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Richie Furay de Buffalo Springfield y Poco, y Herb Pedersen de la Desert Rose Band, además de la mandolina de Sam Bush. El día en que se cumplió el primer aniversario de la muerte de “el Beatle tranquilo” tenía lugar en el Royal Albert Hall de Londres un concierto homenaje a su figura y su música dirigido por uno de sus grandes amigos, Eric Clapton. Al año siguiente veía la luz Concert for George: A Celebration of the Life and Music of George Harrison donde Tom Petty, viejo compañero de George Harrison en los Travelling Wilburys, recordaba “I Need You”, un corte de Help!, el quinto álbum en la discografía de los Beatles. En la versión original de "I Need You" Harrison se desperezaba como compositor y aparecía incluso como cantante solista, además de demostrar sus habilidades como guitarrista. En 1994, dentro del proyecto Red Hot + Country para luchar contra el SIDA, Suzy Bogguss, Alison Krauss y Kathy Mattea unieron sus voces con las de Crosby, Stills & Nash para realizar esta versión antológica de un clásico tan significativo como “Teach Your Children”, que había sido grabado a finales de Octubre de 1969 por aquel supergrupo nacido en las colinas de Laurel Canyon, con la incorporación de Neil Young, para que formara parte del álbum Déjà Vu. Una canción pacifista creada por Graham Nash a la que Stephen Stills incorporó un medio tiempo de country con el añadido del steel guitar de Jerry Garcia, líder de Grateful Dead. Con la introducción original de voz y guitarra de su creador, Kris Kristofferson, y el impecable arrope instrumental de Byron House, Sam Bush, Jon Randall y Randy Scruggs, Emmylou Harris cantaba “The Pilgrim (Chapter 33)” del veterano e influyente cantante y compositor, además de actor. Formó parte de The Silver Tongued Devil And I, el segundo álbum del tejano publicado en 1971. Garth Brooks tuvo una especial significación en la década de los 90, rompiendo casi todas las barreras que la country music había tenido hasta entonces. Criticado hasta la extenuación por los defensores de la supuesta pureza, se retiró de la primera línea durante demasiados años, aunque nunca abandonó del todo. Su regreso oficial no le ha devuelto la popularidad de entonces, pero sigue dejando momentos muy brillantes. Hace siete años lanzó la caja de ocho discos Blame it All on My Roots: Five Decades of Influences. Además de dos CDS recopilando sus éxitos, un DVD con 33 de sus vídeos y otro con su show de Las Vegas que llamó The Ultimate Hits, incluía cuatro CDs con sus canciones favoritas entre las que encontramos “Amie”, un clásico imperdible de la Pure Prairie League, que formó parte de Bustin' Out, un año antes de que comenzara TOMA UNO, y se editó en single en 1975 a instancias de Lenny Kaye, guitarrista de Patti Smith. En 1970, la Nitty Gritty Dirt Band lanzó el álbum Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy, una mezcla serena y reposada de country con el folk de California, donde aparecía una luminosa versión del clásico de Jerry Jeff Walker "Mr. Bojangles". Cuando se cumplieron 38 años de aquella grabación, el grupo resucitó el tema con la incorporación de dos artistas compañeros de sello discográfico: Keith Urban y Dierks Bentley. Seguimos con canciones que son fundamentales en la historia de la música. Siempre, con la ayuda de los amigos… Por eso hemos recordado que han pasado 50 años desde que James Taylor publicara su segundo álbum en solitario Sweet Baby James, el que definitivamente impulsó su carrera y determinó un futuro como contador de historias que le ha convertido en un puntal de la Americana. La brillantez de James Taylor se pone de manifiesto en cada uno de sus trabajos, aunque casi todos vienen a coincidir en que Sweet Baby James es el que mejor describe sus formas estilísticas, una vez se hubo afincado en California. Pero no olvidemos que su debut en solitario llegó en 1969 con un álbum homónimo grabado para Apple Records con el apoyo de los propios Beatles. El, por ejemplo, los recordó en directo en este curiosa versión de “With A Little Help From My Friends”, que llevó a su propio terreno desde aquel Sgt. Pepper seminal de 1967. La pandemia ha provocado el aislamiento de muchos, pero han sido muchos artistas de Americana los que han procurado mantener el contacto con su gente gracias a las redes sociales. La familia Nelson ha sido de las más activas. Lukas, por ejemplo, ha instaurado sus Quarantunes Evening Session. La semana pasada, colgaba en su canal de YouTube una versión entrañable de “September Song” con The Promise Of The Real, donde milita su hermano Micah, y contando con su padre, Willie, tocando su inseparable Trigger. “September Song” es un estándar de los años 30 debido a la inspiración de Kurt Weill y Maxwell Anderson convertido en uno de los favoritos de Willie Nelson y que este incluyó en su álbum Stardust. En 1959 los Four Flickers dieron a conocer “Long Tall Texan”, una canción de Henry Strzelecki, uno de los miembros de este grupo de Birmingham, en Alabama, que se inició en el country y pasó al doo-woop de. Por eso no resulta extraño que los Beach Boys la incorporarán a su álbum Beach Boys Concert en el 64. Lo que resultó más sorprendente es que la eligieran 32 años más tarde para interpretarla en Stars and Stripes, Vol. 1, un disco que grabaron con artistas cercanos a Nashville. Así lo hicieron junto a Doug Supernaw, un tejano de Houston que se trasladó a la Music City a finales de los 80, debutando en 1993 con el álbum Red And Rio Grande, un disco equilibrado entre canciones propias y algunas otras de los compositores básicos de aquellos años. Arkie Shibley and His Mountain Dew Boys grabaron en 1950 “Hot Rod Race”, un tema que cinco años después se convertiría en “Hot Rod Lincoln”, cuando Charley Ryan & The Livingston Bros la editaron en Souvenir Records. Commander Cody & His Lost Planet Airmen, una formación favorita desde los comienzos de TOMA UNO, la grabó en el 71 para su álbum Lost In The Ozone y Asleep At The Wheel la enmarcaron en Western Standard Time, otro de esos discos imprescindibles para viajar por carretera. Pero hoy hemos recurrido a 1993 cuando el actor Jim Varney, un nativo de Lexington, en Kentucky, y Ricky Skaggs la actualizaron para la banda sonora de la película The Beverly Hillbilies, que llevó al cine la serie televisiva. Varney, que murió en 2000, hizo el papel de Jed Clampett. Tras la ruptura de los Eagles, se había comentado que Don Henley y Glenn Frey habían vuelto a trabajar juntos para rescatar algunas canciones inéditas de la formación de cara a un enésimo disco de éxitos y que, incluso, se podría hablar de un regreso del grupo. Esos rumores no pasaron de ahí. En pleno 1993, 20 años después de comenzar TOMA UNO, Don Henley e Irving Azoff, presidente de Giant Records, se pusieron a trabajar en un antiguo proyecto del batería. Consistía en que algunos de los artistas de country más populares por entonces se reunieran en un álbum interpretando versiones de los éxitos de los Eagles. El 40% de los royalties estarían destinados al proyecto Walden Woods, que Henley estableció en 1990 para proteger la tierra alrededor de Concord, en Massachusetts, donde Henry David Thoreau escribió el clásico Walden. El resultado fue Common Thread: The Songs Of The Eagles, un disco imprescindible que fue premiado por la CMA como álbum del año. En diciembre se estrenaba un video protagonizado por Travis Tritt en el que se reunía con la banda al completo para una nueva versión de "Take It Easy". Así se inició oficialmente su reunión. Así cerramos esta vez nuestra celebración de un aniversario más. Pensamos seguir contando. Escuchar audio

Las instalaciones que albergan los históricos Capricorn Sound Studios, en Macon, Georgia, tienen que ver con el sello discográfico, el propio estudio de grabación, un museo, y un espacio de oficinas de la Mercer University. Nadie duda de que es el lugar más apropiado para reencontrar con tus raíces, si estas tienen que ver con el southern rock, como es el caso de BlackBerry Smoke cuyo último proyecto en forma de EP se titula Live From Capricorn Sound Studios. En la selección de sus seis canciones, dos de ellas pertenecen a Idlewild South, el segundo álbum de la Allman Brothers Band, con medio siglo de historia. Son "Midnight Rider" y "Revival", dos temas míticos. En este segundo caso, Charlie Starr y Paul Jackson se han repartido las intervenciones de guitarra de Duane Allman y Dickie Betts, el compositor del tema, y las Black Bettys aportan su poderío vocal en una canción atemporal llena de felicidad. Los tejanos Whiskey Myers se crecieron lo suficiente tras el éxito de su anterior trabajo, Mud, que para su último álbum, con su nombre en el título, decidieron tomar las riendas y prescindir de la producción del casi intocable Dave Cobb. Incluso se repartieron las tareas de composición y contaron también con la ayuda de buenos amigos. Se fueron al Sonic Ranch, cerca de El Paso, en Texas, y se pusieron a trabajar sobre una lista de más de 30 canciones. "Bury My Bones" es una canción que, compuesta por John Jeffers con Tennessee Jet, está inspirada por cómo se sentía a su vuelta de su gira europea del pasado año que pasó por primera vez por España. Ya que hablamos de Tennessee Jet, aquí está la primera muestra sonora de su nuevo álbum, The Country, que aparecerá a primeros de septiembre. Se trata de "Stray Dogs", una pieza narrativa para un artista tejano que está redefiniendo sus ideas sobre la country music desde la perspectiva de la Costa Oeste. Para ello se mudó a California y ahora ha contado con el arrope de la banda de Dwight Yoakam, con el añadido evidente del twang factor a sus propuestas y dejando un tanto de lado sus primitivas influencias de la Outlaw music de Waylon y Willie, e incluso el Bakersfield sound de Merle Haggard. "Stray Dogs" es un tema de tintes autobiográficos que TJ acabó de componer en el propio estudio de grabación y que muestra la tensión y la crudeza de tener que culminar algo inacabado por necesidad. Este tercer álbum del tejano parece haberse convertido en un punto de no retorno con respecto al pasado. Seguimos insistiendo en que el ambiente de Nashville está cambiando y que no todo está perdido. Daniel Donato nació allí hace 25 años y ha aprovechado tan bien el tiempo que se ha convertido en un exquisito instrumentista de su Telecaster que hace un par de años fue nominado por la Americana Music Association en esa categoría. Todavía recuerda que estando en secundaria tocaba en las calles de Lower Broadway ocho horas diarias cada fin de semana y se colaba en el Robert’s Western World para ver a la Don Kelley Band, que le fichó como guitarrista hasta que Paul Cauthen se lo llevó de gira. Con un estilo marinado en todos los clásicos de la country music como Merle Haggard, su favorito, también destila influencias de Grateful Dead en su álbum de debut, como queda perfectamente reflejado en "Luck of the Draw", con trazas de la vieja escuela y algún toque psicodélico. A Young Man's Country, que tiene prevista su salida para el 7 de agosto, fue grabado en el Sound Emporium de Music City con el guitarrista Robben Ford como productor. El incontenible Daniel Romano nos está dejando casi exhaustos en este 2020 con la publicación de hasta seis álbumes… por el momento. Como en el caso de Content to Point the Way, la cuarta de esas entregas, supone una apuesta poderosa por el mejor country rock con evidentes guiños a la herencia atemporal de un mito de la categoría de Gram Parsons, que parece haberle bendecido desde los paisajes de Joshua Tree. El canadiense nativo de Welland, en la provincia de Ontario, grabó este registro con The Outfit, su banda de acompañamiento, como un regreso de tintes sentimentales y decididos al country, consiguiendo una atmósfera llena de melancolía que permite canciones enternecedoras como “Little Shirley Melrose”, gracias a la intervención vocal de Julianna Riolino. Tras el éxito del álbum Desert Dove durante el pasado 2019 que puso en órbita a Michaela Anne, la artista del barrio neoyorquino de Brooklyn, aunque con residencia en Nashville, reclama la esperanza y el optimismo como dos piezas clave para seguir adelante y más aún en momentos como el actual en “Good Times”, su más rotunda novedad con el mensaje de que los "buenos tiempos" están a la vuelta de la esquina. De nuevo su buen amigo Sam Outlaw está a su lado, profundizando en ese camino de abarcar fórmulas más amplias que en registros anteriores, aunque no olvida su debilidad por Linda Ronstadt y Emmylou Harris, dos de sus heroínas. En estos momentos de nostalgia seguro que hemos recurrido en varias ocasiones a recuperar algunas grabaciones que tenían un tanto olvidadas. Los artistas de Americana también lo han venido haciendo y encontramos algunos resultados excepcionales. Es el caso de Erin Enderlin, que durante años ha firmado canciones que todo podemos recordar en las voces de Randy Travis, Alan Jackson, Reba McEntire o Lee Ann Womack y que ahora ha preferido evocar una canción de 1987 como "Fishin 'In The Dark", que la Nitty Gritty Dirt Band incluyó en su álbum Hold On y que supuso su última visita a la cima de las listas. Para esta nueva versión, Erin Enderlin ha contado con la guitarra de uno de sus miembros fundadores, Jeff Hanna. Tras lanzar dos álbumes y un EP, Enderlin publicó el pasado año Faulkner County, que hace referencia a su tierra natal de Arkansas. La pasada semana recordábamos que Kelsey Waldon está nominada a los premios de la Americana Music Association en la categoría de Artista Emergente del Año. Ella cantó sobre sus orígenes en "Kentucky, 1988", uno de los momentos más personales de su álbum White Noise/White Lines y ahora ha querido regresar a su pueblo de Monkey’s Eyebrow para recordar sus primeros pasos, sus problemas familiares y las dificultades para resolverlas, desnudas y elocuentes. Ese trabajo, publicado en año pasado, supuso que tras 15 años sin hacerlo el sello Oh Boy firmara a un nuevo artista. Todo fue gracias al ahora desaparecido John Prine, que confió en la fortaleza de esta cantante y compositora de tintes rurales que ya había editado dos álbumes de forma independiente en 2014 y 2016. La última canción grabada por John Prine, "I Remember Everything", se ha convertido en directamente en No. 1 de la lista de ventas de canciones digitales de Billboard en el apartado de rock, suponiendo la más alta repercusión popular como intérprete del legendario músico, fallecido en Abril a consecuencia de la Covid-19. El tema, producido por Dave Cobb, fue grabado en la sala de estar de Prine el año pasado y no se había dado a conocer hasta que concluyó el homenaje virtual Picture Show: A Tribute Celebrating John Prine, en el que intervinieron Kacey Musgraves, Vince Gill, Bonnie Raitt, Margo Price, Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell y Amanda Shires, entre otros. Gracias a su emisión se ha recaudado recaudado casi medio millón de dólares para NAMI, Alive, Make the Road New York y MusiCares. Ayer se editó Monovision, el nuevo trabajo de Ray LaMontagne, lo que significa un distanciamiento con respecto a sus últimas grabaciones y una vuelta a las formas de los contadores de historias de los 70 recobrando los elementos comunes sobre la disidencia. Hay un cierto encuentro de consuelo y tranquilidad en las cosas simples y en las personas cercanas. Su tema de apertura, "Roll Me Mama Roll Me", es la primera invitación del músico de New Hampshire a recrearnos en una calidez relajante envuelta en pura artesanía sonora que nos permite volver a las raíces. La escucha en la radio de "Treetop Flyer" del álbum Stills Alone de Stephen Stills fue lo que impulsó a Ray LaMontagne a convertirse en cantautor. Lo descubrió un ejecutivo de RCA mientras teloneaba a John Gorka y Jonathan Edwards y sus maquetas, grabadas de nuevo, vieron la luz con el título de Trouble en 2004. Ahí empezó todo. Ayer se editaba el nuevo álbum de Will Hoge Tiny Little Movies, tras una batería de protestas viscerales que dieron forma a American Dream. El artista de Nashville no ha perdido su sentido crítico, ni endulza temas complicados como en el caso de una ruptura desordenada, que es el motivo de "Even the River Runs Out of This Town". Mantiene su crudeza, el tono reflexivo de su voz y nos hace comprender cuando las batallas están perdidas, siempre con algún acento que nos recuerde a Bob Seger, John Mellencamp o Tom Petty, y en ocasiones nos traiga a la memoria a Neil Young y sus Crazy Horse ya que Will Hoge grabó Tiny Little Movies con su banda de acompañamiento en las giras. En septiembre de 2008, Old Crow Medicine Show grababan su tercer álbum de estudio, Tennessee Pusher, con la producción de Don Was. En aquel momento, una canción como “Motel In Memphis” pudo pasar inadvertida ante la importancia que los críticos dieron a temas como "Methamphetamine", pero Ketch Secor ha querido ahora concederle la notoriedad que merece volviendo grabarla y añadiendo un vídeo que hace referencia al Lorraine Motel en el que fue asesinado en 1968 Martin Luther King. Ketch Secor ha vuelto a contar con la formación más habitual del presente de Old Crow Medicine Show, que incluye a Molly Tuttle en la guitarra acústica, Cory Younts a la mandolina, Robert Price con el banjo y Morgan Jahnig como bajista y Jerry Pentecost en la batería. Con ellos nos citamos para mañana en la sintonía de Radio 3. Escuchar audio

Han pasado exactamente 25 años desde que llegara a España el New American Music Tour '95. En la repleta sala Aqualung de Madrid actuaron el 26 de abril de 1995 Marty Stuart , Trisha Yearwood y Emmylou Harris& The Hot Band, con Rodney Crowell, Albert Lee y Glen D, Hardin entre sus miembros. Cuando Marty Stuart visitó por primera vez España junto a los Rock And Roll Cowboys estaba a punto de lanzar su primer disco de grandes éxitos tras el lanzamiento el año anterior de “Love And Luck”, el octavo de su carrera y al que daba nombre genérico este tema compuesto junto a Bob DiPiero y donde Vince Gill y Ricky Skaggs estaban en los coros vocales. Marty Stuart fue otro de los artistas que también pudo haber visitado nuestro país el pasado año. Trisha acababa de editar su quinto álbum,Thinkin' About You, que había sido anticipado con el single “XXX's and OOO's (An American Girl)" de su amiga Matraca Berg, la mujer de Jeff Hanna de la Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, con la que llegaría por segunda vez a la cima de las listas de country contando la historia de una joven que aún firma sus cartas con “besos y abrazos” pero que trabaja duro por triunfar en un mundo de hombres. A lo largo del tema había referencias a Patsy Cline y Aretha Franklin. Emmylou Harris había actuado el año anterior en Vitoria junto a los Nash Ramblers y cuando llegó a Madrid lo hizo acompañada por la Hot Band, con Rodney Crowell, Albert Lee y Glen D, Hardin en el grupo y una mirada a las grandes canciones que la encumbraron. El año anterior, su sello discográfico había lanzado el recopilatorio Songs of the West, que tuvo mucho que ver con el repertorio que aquella noche escuchamos en la sala Aqualung. Como ejemplo está “Even Cowboys Get The Blues”, una composición de Rodney que había formado parte de Blue Kentucky Girl en 1979. Resulta curioso que tras presentarse junto a la Hot Band en aquella gira, a su regreso publicara el álbum Wrecking Ball, que supuso un cambio de rumbo en su carrera, abandonando sus formas habituales. Todos aquellos encuentros con la tradición fueron reconvertidos por Daniel Lanois en otras propuestas sonoras. Cuatro años sin publicar un nuevo trabajo y ahora Reckless Kelly están a cuatro semanas de editar no uno, sino dos álbumes que han titulado American Jackpot y American Girls. El primero de ellos hace un repaso por las personas y la vida cotidiana de la parte más rural de Estados Unidos y entre las canciones incluidas está "I Only See You With My Eyes Closed", que conserva el espíritu outlaw de la banda con raíces en Idaho del que conservan un poderoso individualismo. El quinteto con base en la tejana Austin tomó el nombre de Reckless Kelly de una película de 1993 del actor y director australiano Yahoo Serious. The Golden Roses vienen de Austin, y han aprendido todo lo que saben destilando honky tonk y Ameripolitan music con su EP The Usual Suspects y su álbum Terlingua Graveyard. La continuación viene de la mano de Smell The Roses al que da nombre genérico esta canción sobre lo ya vivido y las decisiones tomadas, donde el cuarteto ha contado con Zachary Moulton de Mike and the Moonpies en la Steel guitar. Se trata de un trabajo producido por Adam Odor en los Yellow Dog Studios de Wimberly, en Texas, que sigue las rodadas de unas influencias musicales que abarcan country, Western swing, un toque de rock 'n roll y una pizca de bluegrass, rememorando lugares tan legendarios como el Broken Spoke o el Ginny’s Little Longhorn Saloon, al lado de cuyo escenario aprendieron casi todo lo que saben. Un disco equilibrado entre baladas solemnes y desgarradoras, hasta temas festivos y despreocupados. Pero siempre apuntando al Oeste. Homeland Insecurity, el último álbum de Flatland Cavalry, deja la sensación de haber estado reunido con tus viejos amigos poniéndote al día. Son 11 canciones cercanas, que cuentan experiencias vitales, llenas de realidad cotidiana y algunas preguntas que están buscando respuesta. "Come Back Down", es una invitación a volver a casa tras estar demasiado tiempo fuera. Cleto Cordero, el líder de la banda, compuso el tema tras visitar a sus padres tras mucho tiempo sin verlos. Tras un disco tan brillante como fue Humble Folks de hace tres temporadas, este nuevo proyecto tiene muchos detalles distintivos, explorando nuevas fórmulas y puliendo los detalles para completar un disco muy afinado que sitúa a Flatland Cavalry muy cerca de los mejores nombres de la red Dirt Music. También han seguido grabando junto a Bruce Robison en The Bunker y "Sober Heart Of Mind" es otra de las muestras que, además ha formado parte del segundo volumen del proyecto The Next Waltz que sigue adelante con una vitalidad envidiable. Josh Abbott, William Clark Green, Cleto Cordero y John Baumann se han unido rindiendo homenaje a la tejana Lubbock. Son cuatro de los grandes talentos de la Red Dirt Music que reivindican la vuelta a las raíces y el orgullo de ser de dónde son. Inspirados, además, en los míticos Flatlanders de los que hablábamos hace un instante. “West Texas In My Eye” es la canción que abre el álbum de debut de este supergrupo tejano conocido como The Panhandlers gracias al apoyo fundamental de Bruce Robison, que los ha incorporado a su proyecto audiovisual The Next Waltz y le grabó en The Bunker en Lockhart, Texas, con métodos exclusivamente analógicos. Love In The Midst Of Mayhem es el más reciente álbum digital de Joe Ely, que no ha querido esperar a que pase esta pandemia para expresar sus sentimientos más íntimos volviéndose hacia su oficio. En un principio iban a ser un par de canciones, pero se fueron sumando nuevas composiciones que se ajustaban al momento buscando en notas de viejas canciones que no habían encontrado acomodo en discos anteriores y el amor, desde distintos puntos de vista, se convirtió en el protagonista de cada una de ellas. Su origen abarca casi cinco décadas. La intimidad y la calidez son el rasgo común de estos 10 temas en el que los músicos son especialmente sensibles y la producción es simple aún sin perder la brillantez. Esta vez el músico de Amarillo se ha inspirado en la actualidad, sensibilizado por las personas sin trabajo, sin alimentos, por los trabajadores sanitarios y por todos los que ponen sus vidas en peligro para hacer frente a esta pandemia, expresando la belleza del espíritu humano: sacrificio, unión y compartir. Joe Ely es el autor de todas las canciones excepto de "All You Are Love", compuesta con sus amigos Butch Hancock y Jimmie Dale Gilmore de los Flatlanders. Es una manera preciosa de recordarnos lo que es importante. Con unas armonías imponentes de Courtney Patton Eady “Let Me Hold You Tonight” es un casi un vals que Deryl Dodd escribió tras una ruptura cuando tenía 19 años con la sincera candidez de la edad. Solía tocarla en acústico a finales de los 80 y principios de los 90, pero no decidió grabarla hasta el verano pasado. En 1991, su buena amiga Nancy Davis Clark le pidió que abriera el concierto que Dean Dillon iba a dar en Cody's, su club en la tejana Waco. Entre las versiones que interpretó en aquellos 20 minutos cantó “Let Me Hold You Tonight”. Dean Dillon quedó impresionado con aquel tema y le invitó a que fuera a verle a Nashville convirtiéndose en su mentor. Fue el despegue de la carrera de este tejano de Dallas que ha regresado a sus raíces más profundas y que anticipa el álbum que continuará a Long Hard Ride, editado hace tres años. Randy Rogers y Wade Bowen han dado continuación a su proyecto conjunto Hold My Beer con un segundo volumen de estudio, previsto para editarse a primeros de mayo. Al contrario del primero de aquellos discos, en esta ocasión se han cuidado todos los detalles, esforzándose en que los matices diferenciadores con respecto a sus carreras individuales sean evidentes, para lo cual han contado con el apoyo en la producción del experimentado Lloyd Maines que ha conformado un trabajo emocionante, como destilan canciones de la categoría de “Rhinestoned”, que la pareja dice que es su favorita del álbum. En Hold My Beer Vol. 2, Randy Rogers y Wade Bowen ha incluido 10 nuevas canciones procurando dar al conjunto del disco una significación mucho más personal y profunda. Para terminar el programa de hoy, emplazándote para la semana que viene en la sintonía de Radio 3 el sábado y el domingo a la 1 del mediodía, las 12 en Canarias, la mejor despedida en forma de canción es la que ha dado nombre a este proyecto que ya va por su segunda entrega.

About This Episode With a refreshed lineup and newfound energy, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band remains one of the most accomplished bands in American roots music. Following an extended 50th anniversary tour, the ensemble grew to a six-piece in 2018 for the first time since their early jug band days. The group now includes Jeff Hanna (acoustic guitar, electric guitar), Jimmie Fadden (drums, harmonica), Bob Carpenter (keyboards), Jim Photoglo (bass, acoustic guitar), Ross Holmes (fiddle, mandolin), and Jaime Hanna (electric and acoustic guitar). All six members also sing, and when their voices merge, the harmonies add a powerful new component for the legendary band. And with the father-son pairing of Jeff and Jaime Hanna, the band carries on a country music tradition of blood harmony. Jeff Hanna says, "It's like when you throw a couple of puppies into a pen with a bunch of old dogs. All of a sudden, the old dogs start playing, you know? That's kind of what's happened with us. The basic vibe is so up and positive, and the music– we're hearing surprises from Jaime and Ross all night. And they're encouraging us in the same way to take more chances. It's opened a lot of doors for us, musically, and the morale is really great. That's important for a band that's been out there for over 53 years." The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band played their first gig in 1966 in Southern California as a jug band and by 1969 had become a cornerstone of the burgeoning country-rock community. Their career breakthrough came in 1970 with the release of the record Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy and the single "Mr. Bojangles," a folksy Top 10 pop hit that remains a staple of their live show. During a tour stop in Nashville around that time, Earl Scruggs and his family came backstage to say hello. That introduction led to a friendship and some of the connections the band needed to record Will the Circle Be Unbroken. That three-disc album brought Nitty Gritty Dirt Band together with a number of country, folk, and bluegrass legends. Heroes like Roy Acuff, Mother Maybelle Carter, Jimmy Martin, Merle Travis, and Doc Watson joined the scruffy, young band to record country music standards such as "I Saw the Light" and "Keep on the Sunnyside." The acclaimed project is considered a landmark recording in American music. Nitty Gritty Dirt Band earned a pop resurgence in 1980 with "An American Dream" and "Make a Little Magic." Those singles also found traction on the country chart, setting the stage for a major run at country radio. The band secured 16 Top 10 country hits between 1983 and 1990, including three No. 1 singles: "Long Hard Road (The Sharecropper's Dream)," "Modern Day Romance," and "Fishin' in the Dark." Bernie Leadon, a founding member of The Eagles, played in the band from 1986 to 1988 filling a vacancy by longtime member John McEuen. With so much material to work with, the band is making it a point to shuffle the set lists more often, meaning that this isn't the same Dirt Band show from years past. "We're fortunate that we've got a deep songbook. That's been on our list, to resurrect some of the tunes we haven't done in a while, in addition to some new stuff," Hanna says. At the peak of their country career, the band toured Europe with Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash, who hinted that they'd love to appear on a sequel to Will the Circle Be Unbroken, if the band ever decided to make one. That gesture convinced the band to get back in the studio to record another all-star album. Circle Volume II featured Johnny and June, as well as Rosanne Cash, Emmylou Harris, Levon Helm, John Hiatt, Bruce Hornsby, John Denver, Ricky Skaggs, New Grass Revival, and many other marquee names – not to mention encore performances by Roy Acuff, Jimmy Martin, and Earl Scruggs. Released in 1989, the album won three Grammys and a CMA Award for Album of the Year. As the country music landscape shifted toward a youth market, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band kept on touring and recording. They played on two projects by The Chieftains, cut a song with Karla Bonoff for an album dedicated to the 1996 Olympics, and contributed "Maybe Baby" to a Buddy Holly tribute, Not Fade Away. Another collaborative album, Will the Circle Be Unbroken, Volume III, arrived in 2003. Soon after, the band earned an additional Grammy for "Earl's Breakdown," which they recorded with Earl Scruggs, Randy Scruggs, Vassar Clements and Jerry Douglas. Meanwhile, both "Mr. Bojangles" and Will the Circle Be Unbroken were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band took a moment to acknowledge their incredible history by filming a 50th anniversary concert event at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville. Guests for that Circlin' Back special included early Dirt Band member Jackson Browne, Sam Bush, Rodney Crowell, Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, John Prine, Jerry Douglas, Byron House, Jerry Jeff Walker, and longtime Dirt Band member Jimmy Ibbotson. The concert aired as a nation-wide PBS Pledge special in 2016 and won a regional Emmy for Special Event Coverage. Today, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band consists of Jeff Hanna, Jimmie Fadden, Bob Carpenter, for years known as "the new guy," and Jim Photoglo, a friend of the band whose credits include cowriting "Fishin' in the Dark", as well as touring and recording with Carole King, Dan Fogelberg, and Vince Gill. Newest members Jaime Hanna and Ross Holmes also bring years of experience to the band. Hanna toured and recorded with The Mavericks and Gary Allan, while Holmes toured and recorded with Mumford & Sons and Bruce Hornsby. "The energy these days is so up -- and our fans have responded in a really great way," Hanna says. "As a fan of other bands, I know how complicated it can be when members come and go. You can either embrace that or you don't. Our fans are really gracious and I appreciate that. It's been a really good run and there's a lot of daylight ahead of us."

- Community stalwart Jeff Badger passes away - Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's Jeff Hanna talks 50 years - CPW wants input on creation of new state parks

I spoke with Jeff Hanna (lead singer of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band) about their upcoming appearance in Dauphin and how the band name ever came to be!

Music documentaries, new music, and reflecting on a 54-year career with Jeff Hanna and Austin Plaine. Austin and I talk the inevitable dad talk and how music doc's are ruining our lives. We eventually get to his latest release and style. Jeff Hanna, front member of The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and I reflect on a 54-year career across multiple genres of music.    Insightful and picking up on life's subtle moments, artist and songwriter Austin Plaine shares some insight into his process. Originally from Minnesota, Austin turned away from a legal career to write and record music in Nashville, TN. Releasing his latest record on June 28th, Stratford, Austin popped into the attic to talk about his songs and style. It's Gucci-good. Follow him @austinplaine for updates and visit  for tour dates.    The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band was founded around 1966 in Long Beach, California, by singer-guitarist Jeff Hanna. As part of the Southern California scene, past members include Jackson Browne, Jimmie Fadden, Jimmy Ibbotson, Bernie Leadon, and others that have influenced and shaped the sound of American Rock music. The band's successes include a cover version of Jerry Jeff Walker's "Mr. Bojangles". Albums include 1972's Will the Circle be Unbroken, featuring such traditional country artists as Mother Maybelle Carter, Earl Scruggs, Roy Acuff, Doc Watson, Merle Travis, and Jimmy Martin. A follow-up album based on the same concept, Will the Circle Be Unbroken: Volume Two was released in 1989, was certified gold, won two Grammys, and was named Album of the Year at the Country Music Association Awards. In our conversation, we take the time to understand the 60's and the "Jug Band" era of the band's history. We interweave hidden gems like Steve Martin's backing band for "King Tut", recording Will the Circle Be Unbroken, touring the USSR, the highs and lows of a career in music, and even being banned from radio for blasphemy. The band tours to this day and you can see all their tour dates by visiting , and follow them at @nittygrittydirtband.

About This Episode With a refreshed lineup and newfound energy, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band remains one of the most accomplished bands in American roots music. Following an extended 50th anniversary tour, the ensemble grew to a six-piece in 2018 for the first time since their early jug band days. The group now includes Jeff Hanna (acoustic guitar, electric guitar), Jimmie Fadden (drums, harmonica), Bob Carpenter (keyboards), Jim Photoglo (bass, acoustic guitar), Ross Holmes (fiddle, mandolin), and Jaime Hanna (electric and acoustic guitar). All six members also sing, and when their voices merge, the harmonies add a powerful new component for the legendary band. And with the father-son pairing of Jeff and Jaime Hanna, the band carries on a country music tradition of blood harmony. Jeff Hanna says, "It's like when you throw a couple of puppies into a pen with a bunch of old dogs. All of a sudden, the old dogs start playing, you know? That's kind of what's happened with us. The basic vibe is so up and positive, and the music– we're hearing surprises from Jaime and Ross all night. And they're encouraging us in the same way to take more chances. It's opened a lot of doors for us, musically, and the morale is really great. That's important for a band that's been out there for over 53 years." The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band played their first gig in 1966 in Southern California as a jug band and by 1969 had become a cornerstone of the burgeoning country-rock community. Their career breakthrough came in 1970 with the release of the record Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy and the single "Mr. Bojangles," a folksy Top 10 pop hit that remains a staple of their live show. During a tour stop in Nashville around that time, Earl Scruggs and his family came backstage to say hello. That introduction led to a friendship and some of the connections the band needed to record Will the Circle Be Unbroken. That three-disc album brought Nitty Gritty Dirt Band together with a number of country, folk, and bluegrass legends. Heroes like Roy Acuff, Mother Maybelle Carter, Jimmy Martin, Merle Travis, and Doc Watson joined the scruffy, young band to record country music standards such as "I Saw the Light" and "Keep on the Sunnyside."

Happy forking Christmas/Holidays! Remember to Be Positive in your life this festive season!This week we discuss Bill Goldberg's Santa's Slay! Get ready for evil Santa! On Christmas Eve, the Masons, a wealthy yet dysfunctional family, are sitting down to Christmas dinner when Santa Claus (Bill Goldberg) comes down the chimney and kills them all in a variety of ways. The cast for the opening scene includes bit roles by several famous Jewish actors.Riding on his sleigh driven by his "hell-deer", Santa arrives at Hell Township and decimates the locals in various holiday-themed ways. In one of his kills, Santa slaughters the occupants of a local strip club, frequented by Pastor Timmons (Dave Thomas), a crooked minister, who manages to survive the massacre. Later, Santa murders the local Jewish delicatessen owner Mr. Green, (Saul Rubinek), using his own menorah.Meanwhile, teenager Nicholas Yuleson (Douglas Smith) is living with his crazy grandfather (Robert Culp), a crackpot inventor who has built a bunker in their basement to survive Christmas. When Nicholas asks Grandpa why he hates Christmas, he is shown "The Book of Klaus", which reveals the origins of Santa Claus. Apparently, Santa was the result of a virgin birth produced by Satan (just as Jesus was the result of a virgin birth produced by God--meaning that Santa is somewhat of an Antichrist). Christmas was "The Day of Slaying" for Santa until A.D. 1005, when an angel defeated him in a curling match and sentenced him to deliver presents on Christmas for 1000 years. This means that Santa is free to kill again in 2005.Upon arriving at the delicatessen, Nicholas is taken to the police station for questioning about Mr. Green's murder. He is bailed out by his girlfriend Mary "Mac" Mackenzie (Emilie de Ravin), just before Santa arrives and kills all of the officers. Santa pursues Nicholas and Mac in a police car, but they are able to escape, thanks to a shotgun left in Mac's truck by her gun-crazed father (Jeff Hanna). They flee to Mr. Yuleson's bunker, with Santa still in pursuit. Nicholas and Mac manage to escape, care of Grandpa's snowmobile; but Grandpa is run over by Santa's "hell-deer" and killed.The two teens hide in a local high school, hoping that Santa's powers will end once Christmas ends; but they are eventually forced to confront him in the gym. They are almost killed by Santa on a Zamboni but are saved by Grandpa, who is actually the angel who originally defeated and sentenced Santa. With Christmas over and his powers gone, Santa flees in his sleigh; but his "hell-deer" are shot down by Mac's father with a bazooka.

EPISODE DETAILS: PART ONE Scott turns the microphone around to ask Paul about the four songs he co-wrote on the album that just debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 album charts behind Paul McCartney and Eminem. PART TWO - 6:58 mark Scott and Paul call up Jeff Hanna to get the inside scoop on the early days of the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band when Jackson Browne was playing kazoo; how Jeff first got into writing songs during the era when he was playing in Linda Ronstadt's backup band; why he didn't want his record label to release "Mr. Bojangles" as a single; how "yacht rock" made its way into the Dirt Band; the time Steve Goodman kicked his butt in racquetball with a chemo pump in his arm; how one of their singles flopped but became a hit record 5 years later when they released the exact same record again; the reason he and his wife, Nashville Songwriter's Hall of Famer Matraca Berg, set co-writing aside; and how it's possible that Jeff never met one of his "Bless the Broken Road" co-writers until they showed up at the Grammy awards together. ABOUT JEFF HANNA Jeff Hanna is a founding member of the pioneering country-rock and American roots music institution, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. As a vocalist and multi-instrumentalist with the group, Jeff has found success with songs such as “Buy For Me the Rain,” “Mr. Bojangles,” “House at Pooh Corner,” “An American Dream,” and the #1 country singles “Long Hard Road,” “Modern Day Romance,” and “Fishin’ in the Dark.”    As a songwriter, Jeff has written or co-written many of the Dirt Band favorites, including “Bayou Jubilee,” “Make a Little Magic,” “Fire in the Sky,” “Face on the Cutting Room Floor,” “Partners, Brothers, and Friends,” “Baby’s Got a Hold on Me,” “I’ve Been Lookin’,” and “Down That Road Tonight.” Hanna has found songwriting success outside the band with songs such as “High on Love,” which was a Top 20 country hit for Patty Loveless and “Bless the Broken Road,” which Rascal Flatts took to the top of the country chart in 2005. The latter earned Jeff a Grammy nomination for Song of the Year and a Grammy win for Best Country Song. The CMA Album of the Year honoree and four-time Grammy winner saw his band’s legendary Will the Circle Be Unbroken album inducted into the Library of Congress’s National Recording Archive and the Grammy Hall of Fame. He continues to tour with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, and has been a consistent presence in the group for more than 50 years.

Tricky and Yield are your team this week and they are joined by an old...

This week, two conversations with country music families at their heart. First, up a feature interview with Nitty Gritty Dirt Band co-founder Jeff Hanna and his wife, songwriter Matraca Berg. Matraca's mother wrote songs and had other family in the business. She's had a commanding career with numerous hits including the CMA song of the year 1997, “Strawberry Wine.” Berg is also a deeply respected recording artist who makes albums as exceptional as they are rare. Hanna migrated to Music City from California, but he's got this family tradition thing down, evidence his son Jamie joining the newest iteration of the Dirt Band, which is touring with a new lineup after a profound shakeup. There's a lot of news in our talk about the reconfiguration of that important group.   Later in the hour, Glen Campbell's daughter Ashley Campbell steps out on her own with a debut solo album. She's been recognized for her talents as a singer, songwriter and banjo player, but she's been through one of the ultimate family challenges. The Lonely One balances roots, country and pop.

Exclusive interviews this episode with Jeff Hanna of The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band- he talks the stories behind the songs "Fishin in the Dark," "Mr. Bojangles," and "God Bless the Broken Road;" New York Times Bestselling Author John Hart talks his latest novel "The Hush;" Songwriter Pegi Young shares the making of her latest album "Raw" and how it was written about making it through her divorce from music legend Neil Young.
