There’s a word that was often bandied about in the home in which I spent the first 17 years of my life and that word is work-less. It is not a term of endearment neither is it an incentive to put in the work now so that you can eventually work less. Indeed the similar […]
Read More Job’s A Good ‘unHow 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 SlaughterIn a recent entry I alluded to a blog entry I’m keen to post soon and it related to the important impact Timmy Mallet made on a particular individual who will become clear soon. In running up to the revelation of this very influential personality on my own development the individual gave a rant about the […]
Read More Content and CommercialHelen 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 BaylorThis is Timmy Mallett. Not sure if that’s his real name, but it would be cool if it is. For those below a certain age, this man will be a relative anomaly and a complete irrelevance to their everyday life. For those of my generation and slightly older, this is the man responsible for making […]
Read More What Does This Man Have To Do With Anything?I absolutely adore this little combination of songs, it’s not fair to call it a medley per se because it’s just a great mixture of the two songs. Bill Gaither doesn’t get a lot of credit as a vocalist, more as a maker of great songs and singing groups, but he holds his own well […]
Read More God Leads Us Along – Gaither Vocal TrioBig things aren’t they? Weddings, funerals, christenings and those kind of things. A massive communal fuss is made at one cataclysmic moment, and then after that we get on with life. So it was last Saturday when people were made aware of the presence of yet another Dryden Daughter. (As it happens, strictly speaking, from […]
Read More A Week In The Life of Zoë DrydenYesterday saw the launch of the latest series on the blog looking at New Life. What would a blog series be without a musical theme for it? Well it wouldn’t be the first to be honest. In fact, this is the first series with a musical theme, to it, but it was a good set-up […]
Read More New Life – Musical Sounding BoardThis post has been quite a while in the making and when I come to write it the words don’t flow like the water from a tap, but there are some drops of inspiration coming forth and I’ll work with that. New life. Why that topic? What is it all about? Well the reason I […]
Read More What About New Life?There are those from a particular school of church songs who will look at this title and think of a typical reggae-esque chorus which has the following lyrics: I feel like pressing my way (x2) I’m on my way to glory And I feel like pressing my way Well crafted, studied and profound lyrics I’m […]
