(PR) Some men celebrate their 63rd birthday by starting a countdown to retirement, but for bluegrass legend--and road warrior--Doyle Lawson, April 20th was a milepost on the way to one of his busiest and most successful seasons yet. Fresh off taping an episode of GAC's Edge Of Country with Kylie Harris (air dates June 23rd & June 25th) that focuses on his newest release, More Behind the Picture than the Wall (Rounder), Lawson paused to break some big news before heading back on the road."I'm happy to announce that the new member of Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver will be Ron Spears," he said. "Ron will be playing bass and handling lead and harmony vocals. Ron is a longtime student and fan of Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, and he understands the style--when we got together, the vocal blend with the trio and quartet was extremely pleasing to my ear. I'm looking forward to his vocal input as well as having another songwriter in the band." Spears, who penned "Ocean Of Teardrops" on Lawson's latest release, will start his new duties with Quicksilver on a yet-to-be-determined date.
