"A School of Bluegrass," released in May 2004 on Crossroads Entertainment & Marketing (CR-0547), is a 2-disc, 50-track retrospective drawn from 25 years of unreleased live recordings, outtakes, and rehearsal tapes documenting 13 distinct Quicksilver lineups. The set includes early members Terry Baucom (banjo) and Randy Graham (bass) alongside later figures including Russell Moore, Scott Vestal, Lou Reid, and Jamie Dailey. Released as a de facto 25th anniversary document, it illustrates the band's enduring role as a breeding ground for talent — two of its premier vocal groups, Mountain Heart and IIIrd Tyme Out, were effectively Quicksilver spinoffs. One of the most thorough archival records of Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver's evolution from raw early sessions through polished later work. Note: catalog lists Wanda Vick in personnel; her presence is not confirmed by any available source.
