Top 100: #43 Lovin’ God & Lovin’ Each Other (Gaither Vocal Band)
Release Year: 1997 Album Rank for Group: #4 of 7 Here’s a blurb: To me, Lovin’ God & Lovin’ Each Other kicked off a new era for the Gaither Vocal Band. David Phelps hadn’t yet joined, but this recording follows the template used during the group’s glory days of Phelps and Penrod. There is a …

Top 100: #44 Goin’ in Style (Cathedrals)
Release Year: 1988 Album Rank for Group: #5 of 13 Here’s a blurb: The follow-up to the Cathedrals’ landmark Symphony of Praise recording was this one, which was also the last before Gerald Wolfe left for his solo career. Like the album before it, Goin’ in Style was produced by Lari Goss, but this one …

Top 100: #45 Serving a Risen Savior (Greater Vision)
Release Year: 1994 Album Rank for Group: #7 of 13 Here’s a blurb: The first album released after Greater Vision’s first personnel change, Serving a Risen Savior certainly has more in common with the Mark Trammell-era recordings than the later Rodney Griffin-era projects. The delightfully simple piano-and-strings country-leaning sound is still there on most songs, …

Top 100: #47 Strong in the Strength (Legacy Five)
Release Year: 1999 Album Rank for Group: #1 of 2 Here’s a blurb: Legacy Five’s smash hit debut showed the southern gospel world that Scott Fowler and Roger Bennett weren’t just going to let the Cathedrals name carry them into the next decade. Their quartet would wildly succeed on its own merits. While L5 has …

Top 100: #48 The King Came Down (Greater Vision)
Release Year: 1993 Album Rank for Group: #8 of 13 Here’s a blurb: In its third year of existence, Greater Vision upped the ante a bit in terms of power songs and arrangements on The King Came Down. There are some fairly lush orchestrations here, but it still retains a measure of that piano-and-strings simplicity …

Top 100: #49 Give Me the Mountain (Kingdom Heirs)
Release Year: 2005 Album Rank for Group: #6 of 10 Here’s a blurb: Give Me the Mountain contains the first Kingdom Heirs song I ever heard, “I Don’t Wanna Go Back”. I was hooked after the first chorus. This is the first major label recording after Billy Hodges joined Arthur Rice, Jeff Chapman, and Steve …
