Bluegrass band Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver again breaks the mold of
convention with their latest album Drive Time, set to
release on March 29, 2011 on the Mountain Home Music label, a division of
Crossroads Entertainment & Marketing, Inc. The album is available in a
limited run vinyl edition as well as CD and digital downloads.
The very first cut on the album
enters new territory for Lawson - a vibrant version of Paul Simon’s “Gone At
Last,” of which Simon says, “Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver have done one
of the best covers I have ever heard of a song of mine. It’s definitely the
fastest.”
The entire recording contains
explorative arrangements that stretch the band's traditional bluegrass sound,
including an original country/bluegrass mix of “Love On Arrival” (debut
single) and “Country Store,” and the intricate genre-bending
instrumental “Greenbriar Hop.” A compelling remake of “Precious
Memories,” is the sixth track on the album and all the tracks are driven by
the flawless musicianship and heart-stopping vocals for which Lawson is
known.
Lawson adds, “I’m so excited about
this new release. It is a unique and fresh new sound for us. I love this
combination of songs because I believe each one flows into the next,
complementing the song before it.”
Following
numerous Bluegrass awards, a National Endowment of the Arts award, and multiple
Grammy® nominations, Lawson’s stretch into new territory with Drive
Time is evidenced with corresponding appearances on Paul Simon’s
April release So Beautiful or So What and the
new Mark Twain: Words and Music CD along with other
notables Clint Eastwood, Garrison Keillor, Emmylou Harris, Sheryl Crow, and
Vince Gill.
Speaking of Drive Time, Kyle Cantrell, programmer for
Sirius/XM Satellite’s Bluegrass Junction says, “You hear the fullness of the
Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver experience. The soaring, perfectly-delivered,
precise harmonies, the impeccable musicianship, and song selection that’s always
one step ahead of the rest, make this perhaps the best work Doyle has done to
date.”
Drive Time is distributed by Crossroads
Distribution, Select-O-Hits and Syntax Distribution and available in CD,
digital, and limited edition vinyl LP formats.
