Bluegrass-gospel mandolin legend Doyle Lawson's first record for the Rounder label is a textbook execution of the kind of harmonious precision, instrumental acumen, and Nashville heart that has served as his muse for the last four decades. His ever-rotating Quicksilver band has been a boot camp of sorts for a myriad of singers and instrumentalists, including longtime banjo player Terry Baucom, five-year veterans Jamie Dailey and Barry Scott, and recent convert and electrifying fiddler Jesse Stockman. They don't disappoint on the pitch-perfect You Gotta Dig a Little Deeper, a collection of secular and non-secular waltzes, breakdowns, and close harmony barnburners that are so dead-on in every aspect that it's almost too easy for the listener to let them pass by without a nod to all the work that went into them. While &Heartbreak Number Nine,& fueled by Stockman's surging double stops, &What Ain't to Be, Just Might Happen&'s mischievous wordplay, and the title cut's infectious melody rank high among the artist's repertoire, it's only the lone instrumental, the self-penned &Rosine,& that suggests the wealth of off-the-cuff creativity that runs through this country gentleman's veins.
