Sunny Top Ten: Beyond the Sunset for Me (#4)

Tweet

Howdy from Lexington!! My grand-nephew is having a surgical procedure today, so I’m here in case my niece needs anything. And this is the REAL number four, accept no substitutions! (Thanks to @Orson_Kart for pointing that out! ) Here’s today’s sunny song that’s unquestionably a “Linda? NO!!!!! song. #4: Beyond the Sunset for Me - Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver Yeah, bluegrass a cappella gospel will give Linda a headache. By the way, this is NOT the “Beyond the Sunset” recitation (“should you go first”). Completely different — and better — song. I love the daylights out of Doyle Lawson. I used to take my dear mother of blessed memory to see him at least once a year. She was in love with Lawson’s tenor singer, Jamie Dailey (who’s now half of Dailey and Vincent). I don’t know how many times I’ve seen Lawson over the years (one of the most memorable times was in McAlester, Oklahoma, where he had the pleasure of announcing to the audience that Timothy McVeigh had been convicted). He, like many bluegrass bands, changes band members more frequently than I change socks, but he has always maintained an exceptional quality of musicianship and vocal harmonies. As many a cappella songs as he does (especially live), that’s vital. There’s nowhere to hide in bluegrass if you don’t have talent. He has it with plenty to spare.
