4.0 out of 5 stars Gospel Parade is a joy to listen to!, October 13, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Gospel Parade (Audio CD)

This latest recording from DL&Q, the group takes their music in a different direction. In recent years, since the addition of Barry Scott to the group, the piano has played a substantial part in their live show. It was not until this latest release that fans were able to hear the recorded versions of some of those live favorites. For die hard bluegrass fans, hearing the piano play prominently on a bluegrass album may be hard to swallow, but this writer finds it a welcome addition. The album has more of a southern gospel feel to it, which is not something DL&Q are known for, but if any bluegrass band can pull it off, they can. I gave four stars because when compared to some of their other, more bluegrass style, recordings, this one would rank near the top, but it is hard to beat "Winding Through Life" and "Kept and Protected". Also, I am sure that the exit of Doug Bartlett and the addition of Hunter Barry on fiddle during the recording phase caused some difficulties as the band tried to gel as a new unit right in the middle of a recording. However, when I compare this album to most bluegrass recordings from other groups out on the market this year, it would rate a five. A fair attempt by DL&Q is still better than the best effort most other groups have to offer.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Carl Jackson Treasure: The Best is Yet to Come, September 11, 2010

Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver are a musical treasure to be sure. Their vocal harmony is unsurpassed. This album reflects that, but there is one gem in particular I have to weigh in on: "The Best is Yet to Come" written by Carl Jackson. This was my dad's favorite song (and is one of mine). He had it set on "repeat" in his car as he drove every day back and forth to visit my mom as she recovered from a stroke. The stress of those events got the best of him, and he died of a sudden heart attack. We played this song at his funeral, and I like to think that he still has it on repeat somewhere. I know these reviews aren't supposted to consist of sentimental memories, but isn't that what music does for us? Doesn't each of us have a soundtrack for life? Doyle Lawson has always been a family favorite, and Carl Jackson's legendary songwriting skills really shine here. Thank you to all who gave this song to my dad. If you only hear one song on this CD, make it this one.
