Ah, the 70s! If you didn’t like the music, there was always the onstage fashion show. But, I think you’ll like this music.
It was 1978. The Dillards had come a long way -- ahem! -- from Mayberry and The Darlin Boys. Doug Dillard and Mitch Jayne had left the band, and there was an electric bass – a hangover from their experimental, country-rock days (a phase of their career well worth investigating).
Despite that, they never lost touch with their roots, as you’ll hear, both when Rodney Dillard brings John Hartford to the stage, and when Hartford launches into a good ole good ‘un that their grandfathers likely played up there in the Missouri Ozarks.
This is “Boil Them Cabbage Down”.
