The Best Of The Dixie Dregs combines tracks from three Dixie Dregs albums released in the late `70s: "Free Fall", "What If` and "Night Of The Living Dregs". Andy Aledort writes in the liner notes, "Taking their cues from `70s fusion heavyweights Return To Forever, Weather Report and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, the Dregs, led by world-renown guitar wizard Steve Morse, encapsulated an earthier feel via vital American country and gospel influences, brilliantly infused with majestic baroque and classical themes. The Dregs also seamlessly blended into their musical tapestry elements of western swing, bluegrass, blues, funk, progressive and hard rock, fusion and even new age music. The result was a sound that was consistently resolute and spritually uplifting. The Dixie Dregs` impressive musical contributions have earned them five Grammy award nominations."
