Folk Hits Bluegrass Style, a mid-1960s Country Gentlemen release, illustrates the band's approach to the folk material that surrounded them — taking the songs college audiences were singing and reworking them for bluegrass instrumentation and the high-harmony singing the Country Gentlemen had made their own. The era was a productive one for the classic Waller-Duffey-Adcock-Gray lineup, and the program mixed folk-revival staples with traditional bluegrass and country selections, all delivered in the polished, occasionally subversive style that distinguished the band from its more traditional peers. Records of this stripe defined the Country Gentlemen's standing as the bluegrass act college audiences took most seriously through the mid-1960s.
