Sometimes it’s best not to question certain practices and norms, because when you start to question you start on a slippery slope to rebellion against that which our fathers and forefathers held in high regard. Take for example clothes. I do believe that clothes makes the man. I do believe that fashion makes a statement […]
Read More It’s A Formality – Part OneFirst 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. MossAhh it was an inspired idea. You get a reunion of some of the top members of the group together and then you get them to record some of the best Gaither songs. I strongly recommend it – and this beauty is one of the reasons why. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More The King Is Coming – Gaither Vocal BandThere are a number of versions of this song doing the rounds going from efforts like this to more solo black-gospel style versions. It’s not uncommon to hear this sung in crusades and large meetings from tele-evangelists, etc. (I’ll leave that to you to decipher if that’s a good or bad thing, but it is […]
Read More Oh The Glory Of Your PresenceThere is a very real danger of loving music for the effect it has on you and so leaning more towards music power rather than the power of the spirit of the song itself especially as expressed in the truth of the words that make it. I believe in the therapeutic power of music and […]
Read More This Is The Time – Terry MacAlmonSometimes I tend to forget, so it’s always good to have a reminder of exactly who I’m serving. For His Name’s Sake Shalom dmcd
Read More That’s My KingSomebody talks about classics and legends, but in my life whenever it’s come to gospel music the name that has summed that up more than any other is Andrae Crouch. I’d love to read his biography and I’d love someone to do a proper documentary on the guy because his legacy, character and story is […]
Read More CD Songs – Jesus Is Lord – Andrae CrouchHow 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 BaylorI love the power of cartoons and although they are not taken as completely accurate in every way, I’d do the same for someone talking or something that I watch on television and it’s always good to match it with what the Word says. This is a particularly odd time of year for me. On […]
