Lonesome Day Records to Release New Album by NC Based Lou Reid and Carolina

North Carolina (Lonesome Day Records/ www.lonesomeday.com) - Lou Reid has had a very impressive career including being one of the founding members of Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver and also a former member of Ricky Skaggs band. Today you can safely say he is one of the hardest working musicians in the business performing in three critically acclaimed bands, the Seldom Scene , award-winning band Longview and of course, Lou Reid and Carolina.
Lou is very excited about this new album and stated, 'I think Randall Deaton knows exactly where he wants to take Lonesome Day Records. They are right on course for making their mark in the bluegrass recording industry. The sound he and Ron Stewart are producing is a state of the art recording. I look forward to seeing the Lou Reid and Carolina project through to its completion and I know I'm going to love the end result.'

Randall Deaton, President of Lonesome Day Records very enthusiastically stated, 'It has been a complete pleasure working with Lou and the band. I believe that this new Lou Reid and Carolina album is the best thing Lou has ever done. I think he is singing better than ever and we are very excited about this project. Lou possesses something that money can't buy. It is the ability to sing a song and make you have a reaction. For me that reaction is most often chills. He has a soulfulness that is unbelievable. There are many great singers in bluegrass music, but in my opinion Lou Reid is the best.'

The CD includes songs written by Shawn Camp, Buck Owens, Brink Brinkman, John Cadley, Craig Market, Elmer Burchett, Ray Edwards, Roy McMillan, Terry Foust, Dave Carroll and Teddy Cosby. The album is being engineered and mixed by Ron Stewart.
