Dixie Dregs - Lee Furr's Recording Studio, Tucson 1978

The Dixie Dregs play mostly in instrumental form brilliantly mixing styles such as Prog, Rock, Jazz, Bluegrass, Fusion or Classical.
All excellent musicians, perhaps the most famous is their guitarist and co-founder Steve Morse that played with Kansas and has been with Deep Purple since 1994.
On this recording the band performs the album What If almost in its entirety, released two months before the show.

Steve Morse & Co. doing their thang!
Hi-tech country tinged rock.
This was the year I discovered them.
I was leaving a record store with an
armful of albums when a brash cover
caught my eye.
It was their 'Industry Standard' LP.
A glance at the credits revealed that
it was produced by Eddie Offord &
featured special guest Steve Howe.
It was an expensive import but
I love Yes so I bought it.
Steve Morse in Kanasas/Deep Purple
doesn't work for me.
