Balsam Range CD–Papertown, Released

The band tops off a rollercoaster year by delivering the best music of their career to date.

It’s been a wide river to cross for Balsam Range. Last year’s Bluegrass Song of the Year winners have tasted success, faced a potential demise, started a community from their fan base and created groundbreaking ways to get their music out.

Introducing Papertown, Balsam Range’s fourth release on Mountain Home Music.

Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver New CD "Drive Time" Available Today!

Innovating 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.”
