Title: Country Music 101...Required Listening
Review: Wow! What can one add to John McEuen's review? This is a landmark album and the 30th anniversary edition only got better with the digitally remastering job and the addition of the bonus material. This marks my fourth purchase of this seminal recording. First on vinyl in 1972, then on cassette and CD, and now this. The NGDB said it best in their liner notes: "The Circle stands as a record of an event of unusual proportions, a presentation of music that 'did' change the world." Time has not diminished how special this recording is. For me personally it was an introduction to some of country and bluegrass music's most influential artists.[It's worth noting that it's this album's version of "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" that was recently listed by CMT as one of the 100 greatest country songs of all time!] ESSENTIAL
