Formed: 1965 in Long Beach, California, USA. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is an American country-folk-rock band that has existed in various forms since its founding in California in 1966. The group's membership has had at least a dozen iterations over the years, including a period between Dirt, Silver & Gold (1976) and Let's Go (1983) when the band performed and recorded as The Dirt Band. Prior to major success, the band made a cameo appearance in the 1969 film Paint Your Wagon, leading a lively bluegrass-like song titled, "Hand Me Down That Can of Beans". The band's best-known song was a 1970 cover of Jerry Jeff Walker's folk song "Mr Bojangles". Their greatest critical acclaim has been for a 1972 album of country and folk standards, recorded in Nashville in collaboration with more traditional country artists, entitled Will the Circle Be Unbroken.
