NQC 2012: Thursday Night
I’m having to do this quickly, since I’m between morning chapel and the Gaither showcase. Last night went long, and it was a very tiring, but rewarding day. While there were big moments, the energy in the crowd wasn’t quite as consistent as it was Wednesday night. This time around I had seats in …

Quick Hits 4
Right Now (Old Paths) Right Now is the debut recording on Crossroads for the Old Paths, one of the most exciting up-and-coming quartets in gospel music. This is definitely my kind of quartet recording, with a heavy dose of five hard-driving uptempo numbers. With three beautiful ballads and two very good mid-tempo songs, the pacing …
