The Dillards combine accomplished picking and harmonizing with a forward-looking approach to bluegrass. These 28 songs follow them from 1963's tradition-based quartet to 1965's fiddle-soaked instrumental virtuosity to open-minded country rock. In a way, their progression makes perfect sense: With their Ozark Mountain upbringing as the foundation, the Dillards absorbed a variety of influences from their new big-city home. The early quartet-with guitarist/vocalist Rodney Dillard, amazing banjo picker Doug Dillard, and mandolinist Dean Webb-offer rousing gospels, a Dylan cover, and classic folk and bluegrass originals such as "The Old Home Place." Fiddler Byron Berline joins the fray in 1965 for potent hot-picking displays. Their later work, featuring Herb Pedersen, adds drums, pedal steel, electric guitar, and even orchestras. Few bands balance the past and the future as successfully. --Marc Greilsamer

First heard Dillards on Andy Griffith show and had to buy a CD or two.
First Half (tracks 1-15)
It's simply outstanding banjo pickin' with some good old songs like "Dooley" the moonshiner. You can't help tapping your foot or slapping your knee. Even my 7-month old son does his best to clap his little feet together to "Banjo in the Hollow". I'd give this section 5 stars.
Second Half (tracks 15-29)
Unfortunately, the second half of this CD is unfortunately mediocre ... Read More

We always liked the "Darlin Boys" from Andy Griffith and knew they were a real band. For some reason (maybe our Celtic roots), bluegrass has always appealed to us as well. The Darlins are a real band, the Dillards and this is a great CD. We are really enjoying it, as well as our 21 year old daughter who took up the banjo last year.

This is one of the Dillards best CD's. I have enjoyed listen to this CD.

I wanted this CD as kind of a novelty; I thought it would be neat to have some of the songs I'd heard on The Andy Griffith Show. I am so pleased with the entire CD! The Dillards have a much broader range than I expected, including their own versions of a couple of Beatles songs. I enjoy listening to it for the pure musicianship and precision in the instrumental arrangements.

Great collection from the Dillards from the 60's on. Very nice cross section of their music.
