Description:

Vanguard`s The Best of the Darlin` Boys is a misleading collection of nine studio tracks culled from the Dillards` last two studio albums, Let It Fly (1991) and Take Me Along for the Ride (1992). While the Rodney Dillard-led country-rock of the era wasn`t dreadful (Let It Fly was one of the group`s stronger overall releases), the compilers chose to slap a photo of the fictional Darlin` Boys (who were portrayed by the Dillards on The Andy Griffith Show) on the front cover, rendering this package -- which features none of the vintage bluegrass that the picture implies -- into pure, unfiltered snake oil. ~ James Christopher Monger
