Livin’ on the Mountain collects thirteen recordings made by Del McCoury and the Dixie Pals on 9 August 1971 at Glaser Sound Studio in Nashville, with Carlton Haney as producer. They first appeared in 1976 on the Grassound label as the LP Collector’s Special (GSD-102); Rebel Records issued them on CD under the title Livin’ on the Mountain (REB-CD-1709) in 1992.

McCoury sings lead and plays guitar. John Farmer is on banjo, Dick Staber on mandolin, Dewey Renfro on bass, and Buddy Spicher and Jimmy Buchanan on fiddles. The program includes Bill Monroe’s “Bluest Man in Town,” George Jones’s “Don’t Stop the Music” and Roy Acuff’s “Livin’ on the Mountain,” McCoury’s arrangements of “Lonesome Hobo,” “Farmer John” and “How Long Blues,” and the traditional “Cluck Old Hen” and “Golden Slippers,” both instrumentals.
