These guys became friends of mine in LA in the late 60's, about 6 years after their first two Elektra LPs were recorded, which are both in this CD. I had learned all the banjo riffs off these records by then, using the old tried and true method of slowing the 33 1/3 rpm vinyl to 16 rpm so you could figure out what the picking pattern was. Douglas Dillard played scorchingly fast, and no one else played like him then. He also played a Gibson banjo with a "raised" head, which had a brighter sound than ... Read More

This is a wonderful Bluegrass group. Their sound was well received in
Europe. We really enjoyed them on "The Andy Griffith Show" & were pleased
to find their records available on Amazon.Some critics suspected that their music was electronically enhanced, but after investigation found
that it was just "The Dillards" own rapid fire playing style. This music
is highly recommended for any bluegrass music fans.

If you want lightning fast, pure, unadulterated bluegrass fun, this is it. This is absolutely my favorite Dillards collection and one of the best bluegrass compilations around.
My family is from the Ozarks and has known the group members for years.

Thank goodness so many people from so many walks ... Read More

Ever since appearing on the Andy Griffith Show as the Darlings, this CD is great to have for blue-grass music. I find myself listening over and over to "Doug's Tune" and that caused me to read and learn of their background. Since thoee days, I've been able to attend live concerts and the CD's reproduce their style perfectly. Next best thing to being there.

If you like the kind of bluegrass that was featured on the Andy Griffith Show, you will like this cd. It has the same crisp sound and vocals. However, the young lady that accompanied them on the show does not sing on this album. Two favorites from Mayberry are on it-Tom Dooley and There was a time. There is a little humor between some of the songs (remember, it's almost live).
