The group was originally based around singer-guitarist
Rodney Dillard, and his banjo playing brother
Doug Dillard, who both grew up in Salem, Missouri. Accompanying the brothers were mandolin player
Dean Webb and bassist
Mitch Jayne. In 1962 the group moved to Los Angeles, where they met producer
Jim Dickson, and secured a record deal with [l651], eventually releasing five albums for the label. In 1967, Doug left the group and hooked up with
Gene Clark, recording two albums as
Dillard & Clark. After Doug's departure, banjo player, singer and songwriter
Herb Pedersen joined the group, and they shifted to a more country rock style. The group had several more lineup changes in the 1970s, recording for the [l159653], [l63259], and [l94384] labels. The group continued performing well into the 1990s, with Doug and Rodney also releasing albums with
John Hartford.
