This cd includes the Dillards' two groundbreaking albums, "Wheatfield Suite" and "Copperfields", two of the most innovative Folk-Rock albums ever released! The sound on this release is definitely superior to the two individual cd releases of these two masterworks. A MUST HAVE, if you like this kind of music!

I have been looking for " Pickin' and Fiddlin'" on DVD for quite some time, and finally found it on Amazon. The Dillards were a great Bluegrass group, especially when they did pure Bluegrass. Byron Berline is a very accomplished fiddle player. This disc contains tunes that he plays on a cross-tuned fiddle, which isn't heard too often. That in itself, makes
" Pickin and Fiddlin " worth listening to. The works on this disc are not real commonly available. It is well worth owning.

If you're already a Dillards fan, no doubt you have this and love it. If you're not already a Dillards fan, no doubt now you WILL be! Also try "Backporch Bluegrass" (their purest work), There Is A Time - Mitch Jayne's anecdotes on these albums are worth it themselves - and for their crossover stuff - which I thought was way cool, "Roots and Branches" and Tribute to the American Duck". These guys are outstanding ... period.
