Top 100: #33 A Cappella (Gaither Vocal Band)
Release Year: 2003 Album Rank for Group: #3 of 7 Here’s a blurb: I have nearly a dozen all-a cappella albums in my collection of southern and bluegrass gospel.

Release Year: 2003 Album Rank for Group: #4 of 10 Here’s a blurb: The first major album released after the Kingdom Heirs’ long-time tenor, bass, and pianist departed, the appropriately-titled Going on With the Song was a clear message that the best was yet to come for the quartet.

The quartet doesn’t sound …

Quick Hits 2
Journey (Libbi Perry Stuffle) This album is a mixture of new songs (with plenty of great guest vocalists) and re-recordings of Perrys songs featuring Libbi. I’m not much for solo records, but the various guest vocalists give each new song the sound of a different group, from mixed quartet to bluegrass trio. I love the …

Quick Hits
Lots of great CDs have come across my “desk” lately, and I just don’t have the time to give each the full review they probably deserve. But I want to get something out there, so today and tomorrow, I will give very brief reviews of these projects. Enjoy! Family Ties (Wilburn & Wilburn) With the …
