Road expense (Dixie Dregs) (LP 2397)

Dixie Dregs  Dregs Of The Earth (Vinyl, Arista Records, 1980) ***  

Genre: Rock/ Country rock

Places I remember: M

Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Road Expense

Gear costume: Pride O' The Farm

Active compensatory factors: I really only got this because of the Steve Morse connection. He began the band and stayed until they broke up in 1983. It's certainly not for the cover, which is a shocker!

The music is stylistically diverse. They can do Allman Brothers jams, country rock and jazz fusion without any problem. In fact, that was probably the problem. They weren't identified with any one genre so didn't reap the commercial benefits. 

A shame because, these boys can play! And Steve Morse is a terrific guitarist.

Where do they all belong? The Steve Morse Band is coming eventually to Goo Goo.
