Description

The Dillards were the first band to bring the backwoods shredfest genre known as bluegrass out west. Within one year of their arrival in Los Angeles in 1962, The Beverly Hilldillards landed a recording contract with Elektra, a supporting role on the Andy Griffith Show and released Back Porch Bluegrass - fifteen metallic-acoustic rippers that serves as a fantastic introduction to traditional bluegrizzle.
