The Dillards - Buckin' Mule

The Queen Of The World and I love bluegrass.  It's an old type of music, but until the 1960s was pretty much confined to the Appalachian region of the country.  But it got introduced to the broader country on The Andy Griffith Show, with the Darling family (played by The Dillards).  Certainly it made The Dillards famous; here they are performing on The Judy Garland Show in '63 or '64. 


Here they are performing with Andy on his show.  This may be the finest version of Dooley ever recorded.

  1. The Dillards played at Ghost Town in Maggie Valley, NC in the 1960s. That’s where the Andy Griffith Show discovered them as I’ve always heard it.
