1 out of 5 stars False Advertising.......2006-01-07

I bought this CD as a gift for my wife for Christmas. I saw it in a local music store and thought it might have some good bluegrass on it. The picture on the cover advertised that these were the Darlings that played the awesome bluegrass on T.V. What a huge disapointment! To make matters worse the CD got stuck in the CD player of my car. When I got it out I felt like throwing it out the window. This is mediocre Country music at best.

2 out of 5 stars Without Doug Dillard, it sure ain't the best of the Darlings.......2001-11-28

This pointless compilation, culled from the Dillards last two studio albums, is for completists only. (That's the only reason I own it.) Five of the albums nine measly tracks are from the disappointing "Take Me Along for the Ride," with only four songs from the vastly superior "Let It Fly."

This was obviously a hastily produced project, with no liner notes whatsoever. Being a compilation of 1990s-era Dillards, the title and cover (the original Dillards as the stoical Darling clan) are extremely misleading. Fans who have lost touch with the band, and are expecting to hear the kind of lean, mean bluegrass the boys played on "The Andy Griffith Show," are duly warned to stay away.

If you DO fancy neo-Dillards trying their hand at contemporary country music, skip this one and buy the superb "Let It Fly" instead. You won't regret it.

4 out of 5 stars Yeah, They're the Darlings, but Where Are the Darling Songs?.......2001-06-13

Great music, really! I love the CD, but it's not what it seems to be. I bought it for myself and my mother since we're both Andy Griffith fans, expecting to hear some of the great music from the show on the CD--but there's not a song on this Cd that I recognize. I could be wrong about that, but it's not at all what I expected. So if you're a fan of bluegrass and banjo pickin', then this one's great! If you're looking for an Andy Griffith show musical retrospective, keep looking. And if you find one, LET ME KNOW! :)

5 out of 5 stars The Darlings ARE the Dillards.......2001-01-01

This is an excellent compilation of Darlings (who were portrayed by the Dillards) on the Andy Griffith Show. There is nothing misleading about this CD...just good, authentic music...

3 out of 5 stars IT'S NOT WHAT YOU THINK........1999-06-25

THE TRACKS ON THIS DISK ARE VERY GOOD. I LIKE THE SOUND. BUT THE TITLE IS MISLEADING. THERE ARE NO CUTS DONE BY THE DARLINGS, PER SAY, FROM THE ANDY GRIFFITH SHOW, BUT IT'S STILL A GOOD SOUND.
