Let the Music Flow: The Best of 1963-1979

Editorial Reviews
From the Label
Raven presents the first multi-label career anthology of the Dillards--their pivotal 1960s and 1970s recordings for Elektra, Capitol, White Whale, Anthem, Poppy, and Flying Fish. Eagle Don Henley once declared "I think the Dillards are probably the finest vocal group in the world. We were influenced by them". In fact the collision between country and rock music at the end of the '60s was greatly influenced by these Ozark Mountain wonders who headed to the West Coast and found themselves touring with the Byrds and labelmates of the Doors. Theirs was a stirring fusion of bluegrass, country, folk, and pop with a dash of mountain soul--an exhilarating blend of banjos, fiddles, mandolins, and pedal steel with electric rock instruments and pop song structures, all overlaid with soaring vocal leads and sweet harmonies. This 78-minute, 29-track collection covers the key fifteen years from signing to Elektra in 1963 and concentrates on the eras with the brilliant Doug Dillard and Herb Pedersen--including tracks from Wheatstraw Suite, Copperfields, and Roots & Branches, plus rare single-only cuts not previously on CD. With an extensive essay, period images and superb quality audio: the only truly essential Dillards package on the market.
