“The Whole World Round” is a song recorded by the Dillards, the Missouri bluegrass band, for their album “Live!!! Almost!!!,” released in the early 1960s.
The song is a wish to leave the noise of town behind. The singer dreams of the lonesome Arkansas woods — of trading the whole world round for the quiet of the trees and a life of solitude and peace.
The Dillards mixed traditional bluegrass with a fresh, folk-revival energy. The version heard here is by the Dillards.
