Release Year: 1994
Album Rank for Group: #6 of 7
Here’s a blurb: The Vocal Band was in a transitional period when Testify was released in 1994. Gone was mainstay lead Michael English and power tenor Terry Franklin, and in were Buddy Mullins and Jonathan Pierce. Pierce would stay for a few years, but this would be the only album recorded with Mullins. Guy Penrod would soon join and shape the more countrified sound of the next decade. This was more of an English-era type recording, but don’t overlook it. The sound is oh, so smooth, and song selection is creative and exciting.
Knock my socks off: I’m Free, I Shall Wear a Robe and Crown
Don’t skip that one: Lord Feed Your Children, Home, Build an Ark, John the Revelator
I could honestly do without: Mountains of Mercy, Testify
