Will the Circle Be Unbroken?




This according to some is the definitive version of this song. The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band sings a rousing bluegrass rendition of the popular funeral song here with Del and Ronnie McCrory. Lots of country musicians have done this song including Arlo Guthrie and Willie Nelson below in a concert in Austin, confidently singing "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" There's the question if you're a Christian. Will the circle indeed be unbroken?

Apparently not, if you listen to what Arlo Guthrie and Willie Nelson have to sing about it.
Perhaps the song is only some sort of fire insurance for these guys, given the lifestyle they lead, but hey?  Even the mighty Elvis Presley put out a Gospel album to make his mama happy.

Meanwhile we get to enjoy this joyful rendering of the old Southern Gospel standard.
