A School Of Bluegrass is not your typical 25th anniversary greatest hits compilation. Instead of simply including previous recordings of hit songs, this project features a series of live performances and alternate arrangements of songs that Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver have performed over the last 25 years. The master recordings of these songs were not made in a studio, but rather were recorded either during one of the band's rehearsal sessions or during a live concert. The songs are arranged on the 2 disc set in chronological order and the project includes a nice booklet with a comment from Lawson about each song.
The picking on the project is superb. The vocals are okay, but the instrumentals are definitely the highlight of this project. Quicksilver fans will be interested in hearing the musical nuances as the group members change from the beginning of the project to the end. Regardless of the personnel, the music is first-rate bluegrass. Fans of Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver as well as fans of gospel bluegrass will want to add this project to their collection.

Although I like Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver, I'm really surprised to this review on SGN.
This is NOT a gospel project. Granted, there are Gospel songs on it, (22 by my count), but there are more SECULAR songs on it, (28 by my count).
In my opinion it just really didn't seem like it belonged on a Southern Gospel website. It definately isn't Southern Gospel, and it's not really even Gospel, it's mostly secular bluegrass.
****Disclaimer***** This comment is in no way form or fashion an insult or "dig" to the owners of SGN. I have the utmost respect for them and their site. It is not meant to say what they should or should not put on their site. It is simply a personal "opinion".
