  • Bluegrass Today
    That Was Then – Springfield Exit David Morris | February 18, 2015 | 2 Comments One of my biggest gripes as a lover of bluegrass music is to hear terrific picking and singing on a CD only to hear that the band in question can’t replicate that sound – or even come close – on the stage. Such bands would do themselves – and their fans – a great service by listening to Springfield Exit’s exquisite CD, That Was Then, and following its lead. There are no triple fiddles, no over- the-top production, no all-star pickers standing in for the band’s regular members. Just top-notch musicianship and sublime harmonies across the board. Of course, Springfield Exit isn’t just any band. The marriage of three former members of the Johnson Mountain Boys and two from the much-loved Virginia band, Appalachian Trail, makes for some great listening. Each instrument is played with authority, but that shouldn’t come as a surprise from a unit that features a three-time IBMA banjo player of the year (Tom Adams), four-time bass player of the year (Marshall Wilborn) and a guy who masters just about anything with strings (David McLaughlin). And don’t overlook some fine rhythm guitar work from David Lay. But the real highlight here is the singing, especially the lead vocals of Linda Lay. She doesn’t have the following of those who are regularly nominated for awards, but she certainly has the chops. She sings with comfort and authority across a range of musical styles, sliding from tender ballad to growling blues with ease.

  • 2012 Jun & July
    DESERT BLUEGRASS ASSOCIATION GRASS CLIPPINGS Volume 17 Issue 2 June/July 2012 “Earl Scruggs was 88 years old. He lived an un- mitigated triumph of a life, enabling creation of the great American music form now known as blue- grass and ennobling his instrument of choice, the banjo.” - Peter Cooper, Nashville Tennessean “Clarence and I would just listen and listen, over and over. Clarence would also sit down with a banjo from time to time to figure out what Earl was doing. He was a big influence on both of us. He was so very, very nice… always reached out to shake my hand. He was a wonderful friend, and his musical influence is monumental. Earl was a real treasure—we’ll never forget him.” - Roland White “Earl was to the 5-string banjo what Babe Ruth was to baseball. He is the best there ever was, and the best there ever will be.” Porter Wagoner, 2004 I’M STEPPING DOWN AS EDITOR Last month, I announced my intention to step down as editor of Grass Clippings, our DBA newsletter. I published a request in the newsletter for someone to take over the position as newsletter editor. I have been doing this job, on and off, since the incep- tion of the DBA in 1995. Time for some new blood and new perspectives. I was not overwhelmed with offers to step into the position. At the Monday night workshop, hoping to spark some interest, I ex- plained the duties and responsibilities and perks that go along with the position. I was overjoyed when a hand went up.

Tight vocal harmonies and a dynamic rhythmic groove are the hallmarks of Springfield Exit’s sound. Vocalist Linda Lay heads an all-star ensemble of award-winning instrumentalists. She spent her early years with Janette Carter at the Carter Family Fold near Bristol, Virginia. With her husband and founding Springfield Exit guitarist David Lay, Linda has toured nationally with the masters of the Steel String Guitar and is the featured vocalist on the Virginia Foundation for the Humanities' "Taking the Crooked Road Home." A Master Artist in traditional singing for the Virginia Folklife Program, Linda has performed with singers across several genres of music, from country's Vern Gosdin and Carl Jackson to Piedmont blues singer John Cephas. Mandolin player David McLaughlin is Springfield Exit's third founding member. He's perhaps best known for his signature playing and harmony singing with the Johnson Mountain Boys, appearing on eight of their albums for the major indie label Rounder Records, two of which were Grammy finalists. The band's live album won the first International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Album of the Year award. Numerous session credits include his work with Appalachian singer and National Heritage Fellowship winner Hazel Dickens.
