The Dixie Dregs are an American rock band from Augusta, Georgia. Formed in 1970, the band is known for instrumental music that fuses elements of rock, classical music, country, jazz and bluegrass into an eclectic sound that is difficult to categorize. Recognized for their virtuoso playing, the Dixie Dregs were identified with the southern rock, progressive rock and jazz fusion scenes of the 1970s.
Dregs of the Earth is the fourth studio album by Dixie Dregs, released in 1980. It was the band’s first release on Arista Records, and its last one before changing its name to the Dregs. The album contains a re-recording of one of the band’s earlier songs, “The Great Spectacular”, which appeared on its 1976 demo The Great Spectacular.
