Top 100: #9 Live at First Baptist Atlanta (Greater Vision)
Release Year: 2002 Album Rank for Group: #2 of 13 Here’s a blurb: Live at First Baptist Atlanta is Greater Vision’s only live album of new songs to date. To be sure, they are not the Kingsmen, whose live albums are driven by adrenaline and spontaneity. The “live” aspect of this recording is just what you’d …

Top 100: #10 Renewed (Gold City)
Release Year: 1994 Album Rank for Group: #5 of 15 Here’s a blurb: The aptly named Renewed might be the greatest “comeback” album in the history of southern gospel music. By that I don’t really mean that Gold City was “down” and had to rise back to the top. But when you lose half of one of …

Release Year: 2007 Album Rank for Group: #2 of 8 Here’s a blurb: For five or six years from their start, each successive album released by the Mark Trammell Trio showed signs of progress.

Release Year: 1999 Album Rank for Group: #3 of 13 Here’s a blurb: With nearly a decade of service in the books, Greater Vision was already one of the most established and popular groups on the road in 1999. But their landmark album release that year propelled them “far beyond” what they had experienced before. …

Top 100: #14 Are You Ready? (Gold City)
Release Year: 2000 Album Rank for Group: #7 of 15 Here’s a blurb: My favorite Gold City lineup ushered in the 2000s with another strong recording. At the time of this album’s release, with the Cathedrals just retired, Gold City was perhaps the strongest and most popular group on the road in southern gospel. With …

Top 100: #15 A Farewell Celebration (Cathedrals)
Release Year: 1999 Album Rank for Group: #3 of 13 Here’s a blurb: This was the first southern gospel CD I ever bought, and it was only six or seven years ago. If you’re going to get to the party late, you might as well get there in style, and that’s what I did getting …
