If you have not heard the Nelons brand new project, you have not heard the Nelons!  The Nelons are one of the most storied names in Southern Gospel Music and they can trace their roots back a long way.  They have had many legendary singers over the course of the group's history and today we have Jason Clark, Kelly Nelon Clark and Amber Nelon Thompson carrying on the great tradition of this group.  Not only are they are they carrying it on but they are doing so with a great deal of talent and class.

 

The project starts off with an upbeat song titled "The Love Of God."  It talks about how God's Love was demonstrated on the Cross of Calvary.  It also talks about the greatness of God's Love.  The song is a great start to this wonderful project.  The title song of the project is next.  "Beside Still Waters" is a beautiful song reminding us that God leads us by still waters and we can lay our burdens down.  The tempo picks up on the next song titled "Goodbye Valley Hello Mountaintop."  I love the message of this song as it encourages the listener by reminding them that God will bring them through the valley to the mountaintop once again.  "There Is A Way" is an awesome and beautiful song.  I love the chorus that simply reminds us that there is a way we can be saved and it's by the Gospel of Christ!

 

"He Found Me" is an upbeat song that talks about finding Jesus is a number of places but the most important thing is that Jesus found us!  The next song slows things down a little bit.  The title of the song is "Settled At The Cross" and what an awesome message of reminding us that if there was any doubt that Jesus loves us, it was settled at the Cross.  The next song is "I'm Going Home With Jesus" and the Nelons have an incredible performance and arrangement of this great Carroll McGruder song!  It is certainly one of the high points of the project.  Another old classic song from Southern Gospel Music is next and it has been years since I even thought about the song "My Tribute."  Yet, here are the Nelons with another incredible performance on a classic song that reminds us how much we owe to God and how we owe Him all of the Glory. 

 

The next song is simply titled "Weep" and I must admit the title intrigued me a bit.  It talks of how Jesus wept and it encourages us to weep with those who weep.  I love the message of the song and the reminder of how we should be encouraging those who have a need.  "Consider Me" is a good song proclaiming many of the things that you can consider me to be!  "Jesus What A Wonderful Name" is one of those songs that makes you want to stand up and shout!  The song is wonderfully crafted and proclaims the unbelievable greatness of the name of Jesus.  This project ends with an awesome song titled "I Choose To Live."  I love the reminder that we have to live with the choices we make.

 

You know, I have been a fan of the Nelons since people like Rex Nelon and Janet Paschal were in the group.  I have always been amazed at the way the Nelons could always find another talented singer when one of the members left.  Kelly is certainly well established as one of the all-time great alto singers and Jason is also a veteran now of many years and holds many talents as a songwriter, singer and producer.  Amber is a relative newcomer to Southern Gospel Music and is barely in her 20's.  However, her performance on this project indicates that she will have a bright future in Gospel Music if she so desires.  This project is terrific from start to finish.  I had a tough time narrowing my favorites list down to three but I finally decided on "I'm Going Home With Jesus," "Jesus What A Wonderful Name" and "Settled At The Cross."  It is tough for me to leave "My Tribute" off that list because that was also an incredible performance.  The entire project is very good and if you have not heard the Nelons recently, you need to pick up a copy of this project.  The harmonies are there.  The vocal presentations are outstanding and the entire project will bless you time and time again.  For more information on the Nelons, visit their website at www.thenelons.com.
