Although the groundbreaking band the Dillards would go on to expand the parameters of bluegrass in later years, this high-octane 1962 recording captures the more tradition-minded original quartet in its concert debut. The music here is fiercely energetic, incredibly fast paced, and bristling with excitement. Doug Dillard's amazing banjo work is raw but explosive and the group harmonies are a tad rough but rousing nonetheless. In the liner notes, bassist Mitch Jayne remembers the foursome as being "young and sweaty and scared and picking as if our lives depended on it," and that youthful enthusiasm and anxiety comes through clearly in the music. --Marc Greilsamer

It took a while to find recordings of The Dillards. The combination CD that encompasses their first two albums, "Back Porch Bluegrass" and "Live!!! Almost!!!" is compiled of 28 songs that display the group's talent as musicians and entertainers. This includes their classic, "Dooley", a fast up-tempo song they performed on the Andy Griffith Show. It also has a solid version of "Buelin' Banjo" prior to the movie "Deliverance". The "Live Almost" section provides an excellent insight as to how entertaining ... Read More

i own almost every album the dillards have released. this is my favorite album and is the latest released in 1999. dougs banjo deans mandoline mitches humor and bass rodneys singing and guitar skills are truly at their prime in this 16 track album. doug picks his banjo so fast in some songs it sounds like there is 2 banjo s playing. this album is hot raw and some hardcore bluegrass it never sounded so good.

Summer 1962: In a scant few weeks, The Dillards would fall off the turnip truck in L.A. and, practically overnight, nab not only a major recording contract with Elektra Records but also a plum role on one of TV's then-hottest series ("The Andy Griffith Show," as if you didn't know). But first, they had to get their feet wet at Washington University in St. Louis, MO. The boys from Salem done good, in a debut so spine-tinglingly urgent, so raw and so real, that privileged first audience was picking the hay out ... Read More

Buy this CD!This is an incredible performance by an equally incredible group.They don't make bluegrass music like this anymore. Hip songs,lightning fast banjo playing,and great harmonizing.Hey....any group that sings songs about groundhogs,moonshiners,mountain folks,and dead dogs with such enjoyment and energy is worth checking out. .....and they were semi regulars on the Andy Griffith Show......enough said....

Incredible live recording of one of America's favorite bluegrass bands. The recording quality is as impressive as the boys' musical talents. Old Man at the Mill and Cannonball Blues are two of my favorites and Douglas burns up the place with his lightening fast performance of Banjo in the Hollow. A must for all Dillards' fans.
