Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy is one of the landmark early albums by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and helped establish the group’s reputation as pioneers of the country-rock and Americana sound.

Released in 1970, the album blends traditional American folk, bluegrass, country and rock influences into a warm and highly accessible collection of songs. The record is best known for its hit version of Mr. Bojangles, a song that became one of the band’s signature recordings and remains a classic of the genre.
