Come See About Me: A Benefit for the IBMA Trust Fund is an eleven-track album released by Mountain Home Music Company on 28 September 2018 (MH17182). Doyle Lawson proposed it, and he and Mountain Home president Mickey Gamble served as executive producers; the label said it was made to raise money for and awareness of the fund, which the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Trust set up in 1987 to give financial help to bluegrass professionals in an emergency. Each act produced its own track.

Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver have two songs, and the other acts are Sideline, Donna Ulisse, the Lonesome River Band, Balsam Range, Love Canon, Darin & Brooke Aldridge, Chris Jones & the Night Drivers and the Grascals, who take on the Lennon–McCartney song “Help!” The Lonesome River Band’s track is Townes Van Zandt’s “If I Needed You”: Brandon Rickman plays guitar, Sammy Shelor banjo, Jesse Smathers mandolin, Mike Hartgrove fiddle and Tony Creasman drums, with Rickman and Smathers singing and Brooke Aldridge as guest vocalist.

The closing title song was written by Conway Twitty. Lawson produced it, members of Quicksilver and Nashville session players supplied the instruments, and more than twenty singers from across the label took turns on lead and harmony, in the manner of an all-star charity record.
