Release Year: 1997 Album Rank for Group: #5 of 13 Here’s a blurb: When I See the Cross was not the first album recorded by the mainstay Wolfe/Griffin/Waldroup lineup of Greater Vision, but it was the first with the particular type of sound that would carry the trio to new heights into the next century. …

Top 100: #41 On a Journey (Greater Vision)
Release Year: 1991 Album Rank for Group: #6 of 13 Here’s a blurb: Greater Vision’s debut major label recording with Riversong got them off to a tremendous start and set the standard for what the trio would sound like for those first few years with Mark Trammell at baritone. This lineup had a tremendous blend …

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: #59 Quartets (Greater Vision)
Release Year: 2003 Album Rank for Group: #10 of 13 Here’s a blurb: Simply a genius idea, Quartets matched Greater Vision with fifteen different bass singers, some active, and some (thanks to a little technology) already gone on to glory. I generally enjoy the newer songs on this one more than the “voice-overs”. While compelling, …

Top 100: #68 Perfect Candidate (Greater Vision)
Release Year: 2000 Album Rank for Group: #11 of 13 Here’s a blurb: Of the ten songs in this solid collection, Rodney Griffin wrote eight, the most of any album up to that point. Ironically, one of the non-Rodney songs, “So Much God,” is probably the biggest hit of the bunch. Knock my socks off: …
