Copperfields is the fifth album by American band
the Dillards. Further distancing themselves from traditional
bluegrass music, the album draws from bluegrass,
rock,
folk and
country music,[2] with prominent orchestra and increased use of drums (played by Paul York), electric bass guitar and electric guitar on "Brother John".
Herb Pedersen, who replaced Doug Dillard starting with Wheatstraw Suite, assumes a more prominent role on this album, writing more songs, contributing more vocals and appearing more prominently on the album cover.
"Ebo Walker" (Rodney Dillard, Mitch Jayne) (featuring
Byron Berline on fiddle), (named for the friend of the group and future member of
New Grass Revival, though despite the lyrics, he was not, in fact, dead)
