The Dixie Dregs - Dregs of the Earth

320K Mp3 Files 1980 album on Arista. Contains eight tracks, including RoadExpense, Pride O The Farm and Twiggs Approved. The Dixie Dregs are a jazz fusion band formed in the 1970s. Their mostly instrumental music fuses jazz, southern rock, bluegrass and classical forms in an often unique, virtuostic style. Track listing Road Expense (3:24) Pride O the Farm (3:40) Twiggs Approved (4:29) Hereafter (6:21) The Great Spectacular (3:20) Broad Street Strut (3:54) Im Freaking Out (9:06) Old World (2:00) Dixie Dregs Steve Morse - acoustic and electric guitars, banjo, pedal steel Andy West - fretted and fretless bass Allen Sloan - acoustic and electric violins, viola Rod Morgenstein - drums and percussion T Lavitz - acoustic and electric piano, organ, synthesizer, clavinet All songs written by Steve Morse Published by Dregs Music Co., BMI Produced by Steve Morse Recorded at Axis Sound Studio, Atlanta, GA Billboard, May 10, 1980 The Dregs are a Southern quintet which defies categorization. The group rocks furiously, slides into slick bluegrass-pop laced with jazz and then drops into electric Elizabethan madrigals. Its busy, hard to follow and strictly instrumental. No vocals, but the musicianship is often superb. Best cuts: The Great Spectacular,Old World,Im Freaking Out. People Weekly, August 11, 1980 They certainly arent the dregs. And they arent exactly Dixie either, though two members of the five-man group, guitarist Steve Morse and bassist Andy West, met in high school in Augusta, Ga. The band does show a bluegrass tint, especially in the fiddling of Allen Sloan, who apprenticed, in part, with the Miami Philharmonic. In its more disciplined moments, the quintet goes into fuguelike bursts that resemble what a 16th-century band of wandering minstrels might have sounded like if they had had Fender lutes and an electrical system to plug into. More often the Dregs play bluesy rock, working off Morses compositions with dexterity and a sense of continuity. (There are no vocals) Sloan, Morse and drummer Rod Morgenstein-whose solo on Im Freaking Out is a marvel of melodic percussion-are especially praiseworthy on this, the five-year-old groups fifth LP.
