Now 50-years strong, the band is best known for its evergreen bestselling album \u003cem\u003eWill the Circle Be Unbroken\u003c\/em\u003e and for its gorgeous version of the song \"Mr. Bojangles.\" McEuen is one of the seminal figures who conceived and originated the fusion of folk, rock and country, a unique sound still hugely popular today. In addition to performing on tour with the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and on dozens of bestselling NGDB albums (many of which went platinum and gold), McEuen also has a successful solo performing and recording career. And as a music producer, he won the Grammy Award in 2010 for producing \u003cem\u003eThe Crow\u003c\/em\u003e, a music album by Steve Martin, John's lifelong friend. McEuen writes candidly and movingly about the ups and downs in his life. Among the highs was NGDB's tour of the Soviet Union in 1977; they were the first American group to perform there. Among the downs was the breakup of his family in the 1980s. McEuen is a born storyteller, and his tales of working with everyone from Linda Ronstadt to Willie Nelson to Johnny Cash to the Allman Brothers to Bob Dylan to Dolly Parton to, of course, Steve Martin will thrill every fan of folk, rock, and country music alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA cofounder\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eof the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, \u003cb\u003eJohn McEuen\u003c\/b\u003e has made over forty albums, hosts his Sirius\/XM Satellite show called \u003ci\u003eAcoustic Traveller\u003c\/i\u003e, and is CEO of SyndicatedNews.Net. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 8.9 x 5.9 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 01, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51770657898784,"sku":"9781613738955","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/7066928d2eaeb10eab4cef23ef98a22f.webp?v=1780376621","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/life-ive-picked-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
