Release Year: 2002 Album Rank for Group: #7 of 10 Here’s a blurb: The last album released before Eric Bennett, David Sutton, and Jeff Stice teamed up with the Inmans to form Integrity, Gonna Keep Telling is a solid traditional quartet project that really covers a good bit of ground stylistically.

Top 100: #54 Live…in Atlanta (Cathedrals)
Release Year: 1983 Album Rank for Group: #7 of 13 Here’s a blurb: What some believe to be the gold standard of live albums, Live…in Atlanta finds the Cathedral Quartet in their element. The Cathedrals made great studio albums, of course, but to really experience them was to see them live: George poking fun at …

Top 100: #55 You Can Have a Song (Greater Vision)
Release Year: 1991 Album Rank for Group: #9 of 13 Here’s a blurb: This is my favorite “table project” in the countdown, and along with On a Journey, was the debut of Greater Vision.

Release Year: 2004 Album Rank for Group: #5 of 8 Here’s a blurb: The Mark Trammell Trio was not yet at their pinnacle with this recording, but it was another step in that direction. This was their first album that was composed primarily of new songs. While the vocals are top notch and the project …

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, …
