Although 'folk' and Country roll together in some areas, Woody Guthrie is a long way away from Hank Williams. Same for the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

My wife and her brothers went to Jordan High in Long Beach, CA at the same time as Bruce Kunkel. Her older brothers, knew him, she just knew who he was. Together my wife and I saw the NGDB at the Golden Bear and the Marina Palace in Seal Beach. Never thought of them as being a "Country Band" per se.

Is it folk, or rock, or country? Seems like everybody knows but us “Partners Brothers and Friends” - NGDB.

Dance Little Jean by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band is the story of my marriage.

Also their turn in the film “Paint Your Wagon” was a hoot.
