“Traveling Down the Blue Road” is a song recorded by Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver, the band the mandolin player Doyle Lawson led for more than four decades.
The song casts heartbreak as a journey. The blue road is the lonesome path the singer walks after a love is lost — a road colored by sorrow, leading on with no clear end.
The song stayed in the band’s repertoire, and they chose it to open their farewell performance.
