| Description | By 1974, after a number of albums that had failed to set the charts alight, the band began to enjoy their greatest successes. Having scored a surprising 36 week stay in the charts in 1970 with their cover of ''Mr Bojangles,'' which peaked at No. 9, the group began work on their most ambitious offering to date: the triple album Will the Circle Be Unbroken. Released in 1972 and featuring guest appearances from Doc Watson, Earl Scruggs and Merle Travis, the record peaked at No. 4 in the US Country charts and was nominated for two Grammy awards. Now reduced to a four piece, the band continued to tour worldwide through the 1970s, spurred on by their newfound fame. Stars & Stripes Forever - a "live" album recorded for a select, invited audience and released in 1974 - reached No. 28 in the Billboard 200 and spawned a number of successful singles. This set, recorded live earlier that year in Nashville and broadcast to the local area by WKDA-FM, captures the group during this period, a time that would be considered one of the defining highlights of a long and celebrated career. |
