March 25, 2009 Here is a new press release from Rounder about the forthcoming album...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MARCH 24, 2008

DOYLE LAWSON’S LONELY STREET A MAY 5 ROUNDER RELEASE

CELEBRATING 30 YEARS WITH QUICKSILVER

"Doyle Lawson may be a mandolin virtuoso, but he and his group, Quicksilver, also deliver bluegrass gospel in perfectly silken harmony." - New York Times

Burlington, MA – One of Bluegrass’ most honored and revered talents, Doyle Lawson, celebrates 30 years of recording with Quicksilver with his 34th release - Lonely Street (Rounder) on May 5. Another blue ribbon recording featuring the award winning vocal harmonies and hot picking that has placed Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver at the top of bluegrass radio charts and award shows time and time again. The album, produced by Lawson, features 12 (see below for complete track listing) bluegrass and gospel tracks. Lawson co-wrote one of the tracks, “Down Around Bear Cove,” with Josh Swift. Lawson says “Josh Swift started this instrumental. He wrote the first part and I wrote the bridge. It’s a catchy tune with some elements of swing, as well as bluegrass. We had fun jamming on this one. Josh and Brandon do a great job playing tenor and baritone harmonies to my lead. It’s a little harder to play than it sounds, and we love the challenge.”

Lawson has received numerous awards in his illustrious career – he was the recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts’ National Heritage Fellowship, the Endowment’s highest honor granted to traditional and folk artists for career accomplishments. Doyle and his band Quicksilver have also picked up the International Bluegrass Music Award for “Best Vocal Group” an unprecedented seven years in a row. His third album for Rounder, Lonely Street proves beyond a doubt that Doyle’s artistry is a notch above, his mastery of the genre is without question and his legacy as one of the genre’s most inspiring musicians and band leaders is assured.

Lonely Street Track Listing:
1. Monroe’s Mandolin
2. Lonely Street
3. Ain’t A Woman Somebody When She’s Gone
4. Big Wind
5. Oh Heart, Look What You’ve Done
6. The Human Race
7. Call Me Up and I’ll Come Callin’ On You
8. Yesterday’s Songs
9. Down Around Bear Cove
10. Johnny and Sally
11. My Real World of Make Believe

Here is some news...we have been back and forth with Greg and Carla Hosner about the cruise to Alaska in August. We agree with them that, due to many things, we are going to cancel the cruise for this year, and reschedule for next year. I know you will all agree that the financial situation right now would probably keep people from booking to the cruise, and we want to go with a big group, so save your $$$ and plan to go next year! If you have already booked the cruise, please get in touch with Carla about a refund. She will be able to help you with that. We hate it because we really wanted to go again this year, but this seems like a wise decision.

We are settled in our new offices. And everything seems to be working. The phone calls are coming in and the internet is functioning. My side of the building is pretty well organized and now we have to get Doyle moved in. He's been sick with really bad bronchitis and today is the first day that he has felt like sorting and moving stuff. At this new place, there is even room to park the bus, so everything is in one location. I told Suzanne that I "feel like I am playing office". Best of all, this building is only 2 or 3 minutes from my house. My car doesn't even have time to warm up in the mornings.
