Dixie Dregs is a Progressive rock act. Their sound grew out of Atlanta Rhythm Section, Dweezil Zappa, Pat Metheny, Jaco Pastorius and Bruce Hornsby. Those roots explain a lot about how Dixie Dregs arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Jean-Luc Ponty, Mahavishnu Orchestra, Return to Forever, Steve Lukather and Steve Hackett, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Flying Colors, Liquid Tension Experiment, Andy Williams, Roberta Flack and Natalie Cole, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
