Dixie Dregs

5/5

The Dixie Dregs is an American jazz rock band from Augusta, Georgia, formed in 1970 and one of the top jazz rock bands in the United States. The band's instrumental music fuses elements of rock, jazz, country, and classical music. In the UK, they are best known for their recording "Take It Off the Top", which was used for many years as the signature theme tune by disc jockey Tommy Vance for his BBC Radio 1 Friday Night Rock Show.

The Dixie Dregs evolved from an Augusta, Georgia band called Dixie Grit, formed by Steve Morse and Andy West in 1970. The band featured Morse's older brother Dave on drums, Frank Brittingham (guitar and vocals) and Johnny Carr (keyboards). Carr was later replaced by Mark Parrish. Shortly after Steve Morse's enrollment at University of Miami's School of Music in 1971, Dixie Grit was disbanded. Morse and West continued performing as a duo, calling themselves Dixie Dregs (the "Dregs" of "Dixie Grit").
