Arden, NC - With the success of his last release, Help is on the Way, which included the first ever Bluegrass Gospel #1 on the Singing News Southern Gospel Charts, Doyle is back with a new album that provides the great vocal prowess, instrumental finery and spiritual message of his prior Gospel recordings.
With a nearly all new line-up, the album includes Corey Hensley on guitar and vocals; Jason Leek on Bass and vocals; Dale Perry on banjo, guitar and bass vocals; Josh Swift on resophonic guitar: Jason Barie on fiddle and Doyle who is featured as the lead vocal on half the songs on the release.
The recording process began just this February at the Crossroads Studios in Arden, NC. Doyle was joined by veteran Crossroads engineer Van Atkins who recorded and mixed the album. A great link offering insight into the studio mixing process can be seen at the Crossroads blog page.
Doyle tells us, Light On My Feet and Ready to Fly has something for every Bluegrass Gospel fan. It includes original songs coupled with older ones for a cohesive recording I know folks will enjoy.
The new CD will be released on March 30th. The CD will be available at http://www.doylelawson.com, http://www.crossroadsmusic.com, iTunes, Amazon, and at stores carrying bluegrass music.
