Upon Morse’s graduation from the University of Miami in 1975, he and West officially named their group Dixie Dregs. A fellow University of Miami alumnus, Rod Morgenstein, replaced the injured Bart Yarnold and the band began performing regularly; with some of their own compositions, along with covers of John McLaughlin and southern rock favourites. An increasingly heavier performance schedule eventually led to the attention of Capricorn Records recruiters including Allman Brothers Band manager Twiggs Lyndon and, in late 1976, the group was signed by the southern rock label.

Arista became increasingly concerned about Dixie Dregs’ album sales and pressured the band to change their name to simply the Dregs in an attempt to increase the band’s visibility in the public eye. Unsung Heroes included eight new Morse compositions in early 1981, but the name change did little to address Arista’s worries. The Dregs felt compelled by label management to add lyrics to their next release, appropriately titled Industry Standard.
