Earlier this week an interview about The Dillards’ best-selling album, Roots and Branches, appeared here. In it, Dillards cofounder Rodney Dillard recalled the making of that album, along with rare behind the scenes anecdotes about each song on side one.

Roots and Branches had a checkered recording history, taking nearly two years for the group to complete with famed rock producer Richard Podolor [Three Dog Night, Alice Cooper, Iron Butterfly] at American Recorders in North Hollywood.
