Artist: New Destiny Quartet Project Title: Walk On Label: Independent Producers: Steve Keen
There is no doubt that Southern Gospel Music can trace its roots back to male quartet music. This style of music was begun by four-part male harmony groups and the male quartets are still very popular today. There are several male quartets that are traveling and singing today and many of those quartets are quite talented. The latest project from the New Destiny Quartet is titled “Walk On” and it does a very good job of carrying on the tradition that is male quartet music!
The project begins with an upbeat song that is a great quartet song! The song is titled “Joy Comes In The Morning” and what a wonderful reminder of the joy that Christ will being after a test in our life! “Testimony” is the next song on the project and what an awesome song reminding us that while we are going through trials in our life we are simply building our testimony. The next song on the project is “Anchored In The Rock” and this is a well-known quartet song that the New Destiny Quartet handles very well.
“These Are They” is the next song on the project and this is a very popular Gaither song. This version is a very good version of that classic song and, of course, the song has a tremendous message in it. The next song on the project is an old Cathedrals song titled “Tryin’ To Get A Glimpse.” That was always one of my favorite Cathedral songs and I always love to hear it again! “It’s Almost Over” is a song that I have loved since it came out a couple of years back. It is a wonderful reminder that our journey here on this earth is almost over and we will soon be going home! The title song of the project is next and “Walk On” It is another very good song with a great message.
“Just To Have A Touch Lord For You” is a beautiful, slow melody that holds the lyrics to a wonderful message of hope. It is a great song that is done very well on this project. The next song is titled “Ready To Me” and the song talks about being ready to move to Heaven! I know that is true for me and if you are a Christian it should be true for you too! Another Southern Gospel classic is next as the guys tackle “Glory Road.” Many groups have recorded and sung this song over the years and New Destiny Quartet does a good job with the song. The final song on the project is an old Andrae Crouch song titled “My Tribute.” I have loved that song and the message contained in it. It is also a wonderful ending to this project.
I was slightly familiar with the New Destiny Quartet before receiving this project but I did not know their music well. The group has a very good project here with a good mix of songs, good production and good, strong vocals. The project has several songs that are designed to encourage believers that are going through trials. My favorite songs from the project are “Joy Comes In The Morning,” “Ready To Move” and “My Tribute.” The entire project contains eleven good quartet songs and there is no doubt that the New Destiny Quartet can handle this style of music well!
