DANNY ROBERTS
“Lawson Sizemore”
DESCRIPTION:
Mandolin ace Danny Roberts is paying homage to two of his mandolin heroes and mentors with his latest single. While Roberts was putting together songs in the studio, he knew that he had to salute two of his favorite mandolin players – Doyle Lawson and Herschel Sizemore. He says that both of these men not only had an impact on him musically but also personally. The contrast of the ultra-simple chord progression and a deliciously unexpected turn in the second half of the song showcases their influence on Danny’s playing.
