Ray Vester -- Free Indeed

 


Click Above To Hear A Sample

Artist: Ray Vester
Project Title: Free Indeed
Label: Independent
Producers: Ray Vester


The Southern Gospel Music Forum has been around for a few years and over those years we have met many new artists who have become regular features in our project reviews area.  I am not exactly sure how many projects from Ray Vester have been reviewed by the various writers on the Southern Gospel Music Forum but it has been several.  His latest project is another fine project that will be enjoyed many.

The project begins with an upbeat song “Free Indeed.”  That song is also the title song for the project.  “God Is Bigger Than All These Things” is the next song on the project and it slows things down as it reminds us that no matter what comes our way in life, God is bigger than that situation.  “Everytime I See Your Face” is another upbeat song but it has a very touching message about God’s Grace.  “Still Small Voice” give us a little bit different sound as it reminds us to always be listening for God’s still, small voice.  The next song on the project is an upbeat song titled “I’m God’s Property.”  It has a very good message reminding us that, as Christians, we are God’s property.

“Hide My Word In Your Heart” is a song that reminds us to hide God’s Word in our heart always.  “I’m Not Giving Up Or Giving In” is a wonderful song that proclaims that no matter how hard life gets, we will not give up or give in.  “Say I Do Reprise 2013” is the next song on the project and it is a remake of the great song “Say I Do” that I first remember hearing back in the 1970’s.  It was great to hear that great old song again.  “God Will Make A Way” is a song with a great truth.  Many times as Christians, we tend to forget that God can and will make a way even when it looks impossible to us!  The next song on the project is apparently a song about the tornado that ripped through Joplin, MO a couple of years ago.  The song has a very good message about Jesus love, grace and mercy too!  The title of the song is “Joplin Rises Again.”

Jason Crabb - Love Is Stronger

 


Click Above To Hear A Sample

Artist: Jason Crabb
Project Title: Love Is Stronger
Label: Gaither Music Group
Producers: Jay DeMarcus, Ed Cash, Wayne Haun


Jason Crabb is certainly riding a professional high at the moment!  Coming off incredible success at the Dove Awards recently, Jason's fans have been eagerly awaiting his brand new release titled "Love Is Stronger." Jason has the ability to sing several styles of music and this project covers several of them and this project falls under the general heading of really, really good!

The project starts with a song titled "Give."  Jimmy Yeary wrote this song reminding us to be willing to give and to forgive others to receive it in our own life.  Jason delivers the song and the message beautifully!  Next on the project is a beautiful song titled "What The Blood Is For."  What a wonderful message in this beautiful lyric and melody about how cleansing the Blood of Jesus Christ is.  Jason's passionate and emotive delivery on this song is perfect for this song and you can just feel the emotion build as the song moves towards its big finish. "Let Mercy Hold You" is a song that nearly brought me to tears.  What a tremendous reminder that when you have done everything you can do about a situation, let God take over and let His Mercy hold you and allow God to carry you through your situation!  What a tremendous, encouraging song for anyone going through a trial or dealing with a sin in their past.  The tempo picks up on the next song with "Living Life Upside Down."  Now, I admit when I browsed the song titles before listening to the CD, this song titled caught my eye! After listening to the project a couple of times, it quickly became a favorite of mine!  The song reminds us of just how mixed up this crazy world is and just exactly how upside down many of the things in this world are today.  A tremendous song that I believe should be heard by every one of our lawmakers as well as each individual person!

Sherry Anne -- Keep On Prayin'

Artist: Sherry Anne
Project Title: Keep On Prayin'
Label: Independent
Producer: Gordon Mote
Reviewed By: Scott Evans


Every successful artist in music can look back to a recorded project that was the turning point for their career.  I believe that the brand new project from Sherry Anne may be that project for this incredibly talented soloist from Utica, NY!  Sherry Anne’s brand new project includes twelve wonderful song and a great mix of songs and styles of music!

The project begins with the upbeat song “God Made A Way.”  I love this song for several reasons.  First, the upbeat tempo, but I also love the message of the song that God did make a way for us to be saved!  I hope everyone reading this knows that and has accepted God's way as the only way to Heaven.  The next song is a very personal song for Sherry Anne.  You see, Sherry Anne was born with a substantial hearing loss in both of her ears and a speech impairment.  The next song is titled “Silent Prayer” and it is a beautiful song and melody that only is enhanced by Sherry Anne’s testimony.  No project is complete, in my opinion, without a bona fide classic song on it and Sherry Anne recorded the Tracy Dartt classic, “God On The Mountain” next.  This has always been a favorite song of mine and I love Sherry Anne’s version.  “Keep On Prayin’” is the title song of the project and this upbeat song is a favorite around my household!  Personally, I love the message of the song to keep on praying about those trials in your life until God sends the answer.  And yes, that tempo and beat is pretty awesome too!

Oak Ridge Boys

Artist: Oak Ridge Boys
Project Title: Back Home Again
Label: Gaither Music Group
Producer: Ben Isaacs
Reviewed By: Scott Evans


I first started listening to the Oak Ridge Boys back in the early 1970’s.  I had the honor of reviewing their first Spring Hill recording about 10 years ago and I have been enjoying the group’s return to Southern Gospel Music through their additional recording and appearances on the Gaither Homecoming DVD’s since that time.  All of this has led to their latest Gospel Music release on the Gaither Music label titled “Back Home Again.”  While this is a recording of twelve Gospel Music favorites, these are all brand new, original recordings of these songs from the Oak Ridge Boys.  Producer Ben Isaacs has brought out the best in the “Boys” and this recording is one that you will want to hear.

“Lead Me To That Rock” is a rousing start to this recording, The Oak Ridge Boys sang this song on a Gaither Video a little bit ago and this is that same arrangement.  It is a rousing start to this project as the guys crank it up on this up tempo song and what a great job they do!  The song asks to lead us to that Rock that is higher than we are.  God can, and will, help us if we just go to Him.  Next on the project is not a Gospel song.  William Lee Golden takes the lead on the John Denver classic, “Back Home Again.”  The song is a great song and fits right into this project like a glove.  In fact, it fit so well, they named the project after it!  “Led Out Of Bondage” is an old song in history of Southern Gospel Music.  I first heard the Cathedrals sing this song but the Oak Ridge Boys version is on that same level.  The unique song has long been a favorite in Southern Gospel Music and I am sure it will be a favorite of the listeners of this project as well.  “I Get To” is a neat song that brought back some memories for me.  I can remember when I was going up how I constantly said I had to do things like go to church and spend time with my parents.  Of course, I’m older now and with a different perspective on life and now I get to go to church and would give just about anything to spend time with my parents who are both deceased.  It is a great song with a tremendous message.

Matt Felts - On The Battlefield

Artist: Matt Felts
Project Title: Angels On The Battlefield
Label: Unknown
Producer: Matt Felts
Reviewed By: Scott Evans


You know, I have a lot of various and diverse interests in life.  Obviously, Southern Gospel Music is one of those interests but another of those interests is American History and especially the Civil War Era.  I have visited numerous battlefields from that era over the years and especially Gettysburg, PA.  I have read many books on the Civil War and those who shaped the history of that era.  Well, Matt Felts, who sings with the Dixie Melody Boys, has combined music with history on this brand new project titled “Angels On The Battlefield; Songs And Stories Of Faith From The Civil War.”  Matt was joined in the studio on this project by Johnny Minick, Mike Allen and Aaron Minick.

The project has wonderful narration throughout the project which tells the stories of the songs.  The songs and stories tell a poignant story of one of the most turbulent times in our nation’s history as our nation celebrates the 150th anniversary of the war.  The first track sets up the project and tells about the importance that faith in God played in those times.  The second track is the familiar “Battle Hymn Of The Republic.”  Of course, this is a song that is still a favorite today and this is a great version of the song.  “The Prayers OF Stonewall Jackson” tells a story of the faith of that familiar figure in American History.  It is a great story of faith in God that we can all learn from.  Another familiar hymn is next with “I Love To Tell The Story.”  This hymn has one of the great messages of the story of Christ and what it has done and can do.  “Angels On The Battlefield” is the title of the project and the title of the next story on the project.  It is a great story about a Confederate Soldier showing mercy to wounded Union Soldiers on the battlefield.
