Album Review: Devoted (Mylon Hayes Family)
The Mylon Hayes Family have been singing for several years, but seem to be on an upward trajectory of late. The family consists of Mylon, a veteran on the gospel music scene with the classic Hayes Family, wife Wendy, twin sons Conner and Bailey (17) and daughter Kennedy (13). They certainly caught my eye (and …
