Just Over in Heaven

Amazon.com
For 20 years now, Doyle Lawson's bands have extended bluegrass-gospel quartet singing to include significant doses of Southern gospel, even subtle touches of barbershop, and with tenor singers Barry Scott and Jamie Dailey now joining in, Quicksilver's blend on 2000's Just over in Heaven is as jaw-droppingly beautiful as ever. No cut stands out here the way "River of Tears" did on 1999's Winding Through Life, and one wishes Lawson would add just a bit more variety to the arrangements. The songs, mostly written or cowritten by Lawson himself, could also be stronger. But the gig here is harmony singing, and there can be no complaints on that score. Two numbers are especially thrilling: the a cappella "Listen to the Bells" which is achingly sweet, something like the Mills Brothers gone bluegrass, and "The Man Upstairs," which sounds like the Statesmen Quartet in a particularly subdued mood. What these guys express in shifting, shimmering harmony says more than words could anyway. --David Cantwell

I love bluegrass and I love southern gospel... Doyle Lawson always has a great combonation. This CD is no different.

As a big fan of this wonderful group I really love this one.Keep up the singing for JESUS.

I guess I like the old Doyle sound better...........2000-08-10

This is the second Gospel CD of Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver that I have bought recently (the other is Winding through LIfe). I was a little bit disappointed in both. Not disappointed with the singing or harmonies or instrumentations, but choice of songs. I really wish he would go back to the more traditional bluegrass gospel sounds. I think Barry Scott (his tenor/lead singer) ROCKS! He has one of the best voices in Bluegrass today. I won't give up on Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver, because I think Doyle is tops!!!! I just was a little disappointed in the choice of songs on this CD and on the Winding through Life CD.

Doyle does it again!.......2000-07-08

This is a wonderful collection of gospel songs that showcase the tight vocal harmony talents of the group. There is a certain "barbershop" theme to this CD unlike some of the prior releases. If you want an example of pure vocal harmony that sometimes gives you goose bumps, Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver is your obvious choice - especially on this CD.

Blugrass Gospel at it's best!.......2000-06-28

The group members may change, but the great sound is the same. This latest release by Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver continues the groups' reputation for great bluegrass sound. Tight harmonies enhance this collection of Gospel songs. A must have!
