Mountain Rock

One of the leading lights of progressive bluegrass in the 1960s, the Dillards played a major part in modernizing and popularizing the sound of bluegrass, and were also an underappreciated influence on country-rock. While many fans first learned about the group from their regular appearances playing acoustically on The Andy Griffith Show, they were among the first traditional groups to electrify their sound and became an influence on artists like the Byrds, Eagles, and Elton John, with whom they later toured.Though widespread commercial success evaded them, their pioneering late-'60s albums for Elektra -- particularly Wheatstraw Suite -- received critical acclaim. The Dillards did place a single on the pop charts with 1971's ''It's About Time,'' and various lineups of the group remained active throughout the remainder of the '70s. A Dillards revival began in the late '80s and yielded a pair of studio albums including 1992's Take Me Along for the Ride, though the members more or less carried on with their own projects up until the death of founding member Doug Dillard in 2012. In tribute to their combined legacy, his brother Rodney released another album, 2020's Old Road New Again, under the Dillards banner. Originally recorded and released in 1979 as a direct to disc album, one of the first digital recordings was also made of the sessions and thus we have a wonderful performance preserved for today's digital world. Mountain Rock blends elements of Bluegrass and Country with Rock, thereby spanning a broad range of musical interests. Instrumentally, The Dillards primarily utilized acoustic instruments, which made the group virtually ideal for a technically superior recording process. Being a direct to disc session, the album was recorded without stopping and without the possibility of making any changes or corrections - no remixing, no overdubbing and no editing or splicing of tapes. The tremendous pressure of live and direct recording combined with virtuoso musicianship results in the same kind of vibrant and exciting performances that are frequently experienced in live concerts. The simplification of the signal path results in a recording, which offers exceptional clarity and presence. For those with superior record playback equipment, the results are spectacular.
