iPod Track Of The Week

Traditional Southern Gospel radio, for the most part, has become a thing of the past.  At least when it comes to producing mega songs.  Today’s generation has become their own radio station, programming/playing their iPods/MP3 players with what they want, when they want.  Each week I want to provide a recommendation in what I call the iPod track of the week.  These are songs that I am playing frequently in my iPod song rotation.

The first selection comes from a new artist based in northeast Oklahoma.  To be honest I never thought about giving this artist a listen until I heard the song, “Empty Handed”.  Chris Hester began singing full-time in late 2003 and currently has two albums to his credit.  His strong country vocal could easily find him on mainstream Country radio.   “Empty Handed” happens to be track #2 on his latest album, Steps I’ve Taken.  The song, I also found, happens to be his current radio single.

Give it a look and listen and let me know if given the chance, would you add it to your iPod playlist?

Introduction

Hello All. I know what everyone is thinking. Why in the world is there another Southern Gospel blogger? What is this guy going to add? Well, let me start by saying the things you won’t see here.

1. If you are looking for group personnel change information, you won’t find that here.
2. If you are looking for the general Southern Gospel news story, you won’t get that here. There are plenty of other fine places to visit for that kind of information.

What you will find here:

1. Concert reviews. I attend many concerts, thus the title of the blog. I normally sit as close to the back as possible when attending concerts. The main reason is because I like to take in the entire concert, from stage to audience. I will relay my concert experiences with you.

2. I am always on the lookout for the next best thing. You will get information regarding up and coming artists.

3. I will provide you with weekly tidbits such as my Ipod track of the week. What I mean by that is with my extensive music collection I will offer a track that I feel everyone should have on their Ipod.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope to offer something a bit different than everyone else.
