CD Reviews

Quicksilver continues Lawson's long legacy
Joe Sixpack -- Slipcue.com | ...in Middle America | 05/22/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Over the years, Doyle Lawson and his band has been to bluegrass vocals what Art Blakey was to jazz instrumentals, a brilliant incubation nest, from which top talent springs forth, year after year. His last lineup included guitarist Jamie Dailey, who has since gone on to the dazzling harmony duo of Dailey & Vincent, and while Quicksilver's newest incarnation is less fiery for Dailey's absence, it's no less accomplished or satisfying to roots music fans. Lawson's recent tilt towards secular material invites comparison to the classic recordings of the Osborne Brothers, and that's true on this album as well. This is one of the most youthful Quicksilver lineups in recent years, with three-year veteran Darren Beachley emerging as the "old-timer" in the band, amid a sea of fresh new faces. Doyle Lawson may have a lot of turnover in his band, but his fans are always there, due in no small part to the high quality of his releases -- this one is another sweet set with some nice new songs and well-chosen covers from the likes of Carl Belew, Marty Robbins and Porter Wagoner. The album closes with a lively gospel number, "When The Last Of Our Days Shall Come," an uptempo harmony song that should whet the appetite of Lawson's devoted gospel fans. Another fine album from an old pro. (DJ Joe Sixpack, Slipcue Guide To Country Music)"

"Doyle did it again! He is a great artist with unbelievably talented band members. This CD has great vocals and instrumentals and as always Doyle's creativity in arrangements is great. The only thing better than a CD is hearing them live!!!"

do terrific with their harmonies and love the addition of the dobro guitar into the group."
