| From the program
the weekend of Nov. 14th & 15th, 2009: |
 Every so often a recording comes
along that just demands attention. Such is the new one relased jointly by
Greater Vision, Legacy Five and the Booth Brothers called
"Jubilee." This CD (with a companion video to be released soon) was
inspired by the historic "Gospel Singing Jubilee" TV program and the
"Gospel Singing Caravan" of years gone by, when several top Southern
Gospel groups would come together to sing, both on recordings and in concert.
The unique part about this "Jubilee" recording was the way the groups
all sang together on a few songs, sang individually on some, and did a
"mix-and-match" to have members of various groups singing as a group. I
thoroughly enjoyed our visit with Gerald Wolfe, Scott Fowler
and Michael Booth as Featured Artists for this program to talk about
this recording. They really do mean it when they say, as they did on the
broadcast, that they thoroughly enjoy working with each other, both in the
studio and on stage (and, I might add, behind the scenes).
 The "Jubilee" CD featured on this program by Greater
Vision, the Booth Brothers and Legacy Five, is available
from our mailorder service, Springside. Just call 1-800-38-MUSIC to order.

 We've featured Mike
& Kelly Bowling on the program before with their current "Faith
To Believe" CD, but so many of their songs on there have been so successful
that we wanted to pull three of the latest radio hits together on an Artist
Spotlight segment. We also got a chance to talk with them about their recent
name change ("the Bowling Family") and their newest group member
(Terah Penhollow, who used to sing with brother, Adam Crabb).
I personally appreciate the message of their current song, "God's Not
Through With You" — a song of encouragement for any Christian.
I hope you heard the story "Big" John Bledsoe of the Journeymen
shared on the program about the miraculous protection granted his son when
their bus actually fell on him when a jack failed. As you heard, "Little"
John escaped with only a broken rib. Just so there's no misunderstanding,
this was something that happened about ten years ago, and "Little" John is
still very much a part of the group along with his dad.
