Review by Karl Vaughan

The album Sweetest Gift by Dixie Bluegrass Boys is a delightful collection of traditional bluegrass tunes that showcases the band's impressive musical talents. The album features 12 tracks, each one a testament to the band's skillful instrumentation and heartfelt vocals.

From the opening track "I'm Going Back to Old Kentucky" to the closing number "The Sweetest Gift (A Mother's Smile)", the Dixie Bluegrass Boys deliver a masterful performance that will have listeners tapping their feet and humming along.

The band's tight harmonies and intricate musical arrangements are particularly impressive on tracks like "Blue Moon of Kentucky" and "My Rose of Old Kentucky". Meanwhile, their soulful renditions of classics like "Amazing Grace" and "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" are sure to tug at listeners' heartstrings.

About The Dixie Bluegrass Boys

The Dixie Bluegrass Boys trace their bands origins to 1960, when 17-year-old Curtis Blackwell and two other young men in Toccoa, Georgia, won a radio talent contest. Brothers Curtis and Haskell Blackwell and their friend Junior Crowe got a chance to perform at the Grand Ole Opry. After reorganizing, with new artists on some instruments, Curtis Blackwell and the Dixie Bluegrass Boys resumed touring and recording, and were regulars on the bluegrass circuit throughout the 1980s and 90s. Fifty years later, and now with a home base in Macon County, North Carolina, the Dixie Bluegrass Boys consist of founding members Curtis Blackwell and Sam Cobb, joined by banjo player Charles Wood, fiddler Chuck Nations, and mandolinist Vic Blackwell. Otto, North Carolina, resident Curtis Blackwell is honored in the Atlanta Country Music Hall of Fame.
