"Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, who very nearly invented bluegrass Gospel as a separate musical entity, have dominated the field since the 1980s. While the very earliest days of bluegrass saw Gospel songs included in performances and recordings by Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, and The Stanley Brothers, it was Lawson who brought over elements from black and southern Gospel quartet singing that revolutionized how it was done.Now, more than 35 years later, he has released what may be rightly seen as the definitive album in its genre".
