The Live in Prague, Czech Republic album brought the bluegrass sound to Europe. The album was recorded live in January at the Dlabacov Hall – Pyramida theatre before a sold-out crowd in Prague in the Czech Republic. Lawson and the band perform some of their previously recorded work, such as the hit “Little Girl,” the often-requested Gospel classic “On the Sea of Life” and the ever-popular “I’ll Be True While Your Gone”. The live album includes new arrangements of never-before recorded songs including “Living Like There’s No Tomorrow,” “Leaving On Her Mind,” and “Shenandoah Breakdown” among others.
For his contributions to as a musical trailblazer, Lawson received the National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Fellowship award in 2006. Lawson was inducted into the Bluegrass Hall of Fame in 2012 at the Ryman Auditorium. He has won and been nominated for multiple awards including the IBMAs, Grammys, Dove Awards, Inspirational Country Music Association, and numerous other industry awards.
