First it’s good to hear someone who is an accomplished songwriter in his own right have a go at someone else’s masterpiece. That’s something that I like about the gospel field that there is (or should be) a great enjoyment of doing other people’s material, because there’s an appreciation that whatever connects people with God […]
Read More Vocal Masterclass – Marvin Winans feat. Donnie McClurkin & J. MossIt’s the early 1990’s, possibly even the very late 1980’s, but if it is that late, they can’t get in and we’ll have to leave it at the early 1990’s. At the time I was being very conscious of the music played by my sister and my mother. I remember seeing the album cover of […]
Read More Waymaker – Tramaine HawkinsI forget. I have to acknowledge that. Due to that independent aspect of my character that needs to have all the answers and be the top dog, it’s not as yet automatic to remember, but there are reminders like this. The issue I forget is that the scripture informs me that that greater is He […]
Read More Greater Is He In Me – The Crabb FamilyHow Alvin Slaughter hasn’t been featured in this blog since it started almost five years ago is a mystery to me. I love this guy. Back in the day the big boss of the P&W scene was Ron Kenoly and Slaughter was like the poor man’s Kenoly, but I think he’s in a league of […]
Read More Shouts of Joy – Alvin SlaughterHelen Baylor’s testimony is amazing and her contribution to the gospel music scene has been almost as sensational (you gotta hear her testimony to see why it’s so amazing). This track has got to be her signature song and with good reason. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More Awesome God – Helen BaylorUsually I prefer the understated, reserved and contained approach to matters. Rather than look for a raucous laugh by a loud suggestion I prefer the power of the quip, just slip it in the middle of a regular sentence to elicit a wry chuckle to those who pick it up or that little groan by […]
Read More Gratitude – Being ExtraI remember from a very early age singing a hymn called Count Your Blessings. Looking back the lyrics are fairly basic and simple – count your blessings, name them one by one, count your many blessings, see what God has done. As ever with the hymns that are sung time and time again from childhood […]
Read More My GratitudeWhat do you wake up to? The alarm disturbing the semblance of sleep you were enjoying? The singing birds outside your window as you take your time stretching and yawning to embrace the new day? For slow starters who perhaps require a hot caffeine packed beverage to get the engines running, I offer this stimulating […]
Read More Morning JoyThere is something about the concept of praise that is very child-like and simple. I see it often when my girls see something they enjoy – the look on their faces express it and they are eager to run up and say thank you. In fact the oldest one now has the vocabulary to wax […]
Read More We Must Praise – J. MossYou know I’ve been mentioning assignments of late, well tonight is a very interesting one as I have to complete another one. I believe it really is the last proper assignment that I’ll have to do for a while, so if I can put in the effort over the next hour or so then I […]
