Product Description

CD Description

In the 1970s, when fiery-fingered exercises in jazz-rock fusion were all the rage in both the United States and the U.K., the Dixie Dregs brought a Southern slant to the style, injecting a touch of twang into the proceedings. NIGHT OF THE LIVING DREGS (1979) catches the band at a key transitional point. While essentially a studio album, some tracks are froma 1978 concert featuring new keyboard player T. Lavitz, whose synthesizer work would become an important part of the band's sound. Throughout the album, Steve Morse's fiery guitar, Allen Sloan's Jean-Luc-Ponty-on-Wild Turkey violin, and Rod Morgenstern's frenetic, popping bass all play demolition derby amid metrically and harmonically sophisticated compositions that still offer plenty of visceral satisfaction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Electric Chamber Music Supreme, 23 May 2007
By Number Six (Devon, UK) - See all my reviews
This is the third album by Steve Morse's legendary instrumental Georgia 5 piece, and maintains the great standard set by their previous offerings. The Dixie Dregs defied easy pigeon-holing, often being considered too mellow for all out rock and too muscular for jazz, Morse himself prefering to call their unique blend of influences 'electric chamber music', and this album, part studio recording and part live performance, amply demonstrates just why they were so resistant to simple categorising, and just how damn good they were!.
The music is obviously built around Morse's formidable guitar playing and writing skills, but whether rocking along to the opener, Punk Sandwich, flexing their syncopated muscles on Country House Shuffle, or blissing out to the mellow, jazz tinged Long Slow Distance, the rest of the guys are clearly having a wonderful time too! The deft interplay within the band, the evident pleasure in their playing, along with the touches of humour and playfulness, exemplified on the 4 live tracks (especially The Bash) were vital components of the Dregs' magic.
Rock'n'roll, bluegrass/country, jazz and classical elements all contributed the the musical whole that was The Dixie Dregs. So ignore the old muso tag so often pinned on these fellas, anyone who has an appreciation of great tunes that strike above and below the waist should give this album a try. Go on, take a chance, you don't know what you're missing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unmissable!, 17 Feb 2008
My fellow Amazon correspondent is quite right - if you haven't heard the Dregs you really don't know what you are missing. They are simply incomparable.

I just wish they would put on a concert I could get to. Don't miss the album What If.

I should perhaps add there is no style as such - the Dregs do everything, and do it well.
