Takoma Valley Band, April 1980. One of my all-time favorite Dillards songs, from their Wheatstraw Suite album. I played this in two different bands. Never heard anyone else cover it.

Great sound, brought back a lot of memories. I got started on banjo because of Wheatstraw Suite, the Dillards harmony on this album and Copperfiends still amazes me. Our band covered Nobody Knows around 1980 on our only album plus Hey Boys, I've Just Seen a Face, Don't You Cry and I'll Fly Away. Thanks again, Larry

Well, if I'd ever made it up to Canada then I could have heard another band covering it! Glad to hear someone else recognized this as a song worth playing.

Wow! Great cover! Wheatstraw Suite and Copperfields are like magic to me. I started playing the banjo because of this era Dillards too...
FYI: Here are the Dillards doing it live in 1970.
