Phil Cross & Poet Voices
Trust The Truth
I know that I’ve missed a week for my album recommendations to build your collection but I simply didn’t have time last week to post anything.? Oh well, that’s part of life.? You have to deal with issues that arise and go forward.
My must have CD for the Southern Gospel collector this week is Trust The Truth by Poet Voices.? Not only do you get to hear the group in their prime, you get to hear Mike Allen pounding out those low notes and Tony Jarman hitting the high notes.? Although there were two different album covers for this project, one with Tony Jarman and a different cover with Milan Klipa.? Tony sings the tenor vocals on this project regardless of what is pictured on the album cover.? Tony simply left the group right after the album was released so? another picture was used in additional pressings of the project to reflect the change in personnel.
The first track, “I Am Redeemed”,? has become a Southern Gospel standard.? “One Holy Lamb” was also first recorded on this album with Tony Jarman, but was also recorded on their next album, Rhythm & Rhyme, with Milan Klipa taking the lead vocals.? Milan’s version is the one that was released to radio, but I prefer Tony’s version from this recording.
My other favs from this recording are “Grace & Glory”, “My Lord’s Been With Me All The Way” & “Over? & Over, Amen”.? Here’s the complete track listing:
- I Am Redeemed
- Grace & Glory
- One Holy Lamb
- Over & Over Amen
- Trust The Truth
- My Lord’s Been With Me All The Way
- Faster Than I Can Fall
- On The Radio
- God Of Glory, Lord Of Love
- Praise You With My Life
- Trust The Truth Reprise
This album can be found for a reasonable price on ebay.? It’s also available here on Amazon.com:
