“After a stint with Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver and teaching fiddle, Mike will be back on stage with us soon. He is one of the true pros of this business and we are going to enjoy having his great fiddle work back in the band.”Sammy Shelor
Shelor also notes that Matt Leadbetter, the only full time Dobro player LRB has ever had, has left the band “to be with his new son Houston and to work closer to home.”
“Matt did a great job with the band and we wish him well,” Shelor said.
Fans will also be happy to hear that the band will release a new CD “sometime in the spring of 2008,” Shelor said.
The newest CD from LRB on retailers’ shelves came out this summer on the Sugar Hill label. Entitled “Lonesome River Band — Best of The Sugar Hill Years,” it features four songs taken from each of the CDs the band recorded for the label. Those CDs are “Old Country Town,” “One Step Forward,” “Finding the Way” and “Talkin’ to Myself.”
