Album Review: A New Look (Kingdom Heirs)

The end of 2014 and beginning of 2015 found the Kingdom Heirs in a state of flux with the departure of longtime owner, MC, and baritone Steve French. I must admit as a big Kingdom Heirs fan, I wondered about what would happen with the group in the long term after such a significant change. …

Album Review: That Day Is Coming (Collingsworth Family)

The Collingsworth Family’s third mainline release with Stowtown Records, That Day Is Coming, continues to build on the catalog of musical excellence that has brought them to the top of the gospel music genre.

Songs From Scripture: “With All the Many Miracles” (Greater Vision)

My all-time favorite Greater Vision recording, so far, is Live at First Baptist Atlanta, which contains several of my favorite Rodney Griffin-penned songs.

First, my list of top songs, which is dominated at the top by three of my all-time favorite Rodney Griffin songs. It just so happens that none of them were Greater Vision recordings. 1. “God Saw a Cross,” …

Best of the Best: 2010

Several years ago, I went through an exercise on this site of ranking my one hundred favorite albums. That was truly an enjoyable endeavor, but like in all facets of life, things change. Since that time, my music collection has grown considerably, and my tastes have also changed in some ways. I’m not going to …
