Doyle Lawson is a legend of bluegrass, and while his mandolin playing is second to none, it’s his a capella arrangements that draw me back to him. This one in particular showcases some modern, almost barbershop-like harmonies within a traditional framework. Bluegrass has always had a push-and-pull dialectic over tradition vs modernity, and I think this song, and Lawson’s music in general, treads that line beautifully.
