Nearly made it to the #1 spot for top album of 2010, but first let’s take a look at the album landing at #2. Never Walk Alone by Brian Free & Assurance has received rave reviews for its song selection and production quality. I had a chance to review this recording several months ago and I too made claim that this was a landmark recording for the group.
I stand by that statement and select Never Walk Alone as #2 among the best Southern Gospel recordings of the year.
Personal favorites from this recording include: “Never Walk Alone”, “Anything Is Possible”, “I Believe”, “Stand Among The Millions”, “The Part Where You Come In”, “Remind Me Of The Cross” and “Turn The Page”.
If there is one Southern Gospel quartet album that should be part of your collection in 2010, this is it.
Jeff & Sheri Easter landed at #3 among the top albums of the year for Expecting Good Things. A particular song from that recording finds its place as the #2 recorded song of 2010. “Born To Climb” was the first single from this recording and landed at #1 on the Singing News chart during the spring of 2010.
Written by Wayne Haun and Joel Lindsey this song was one of Jeff & Sheri Easter’s finest. This song was an instant favorite and remained one of the most listened to songs of 2010. A clip has been provided.
Tomorrow will close out the countdown as the #1 album and recorded song of 2010 will be announced.
My second favorite CD for 2010 is “Love Came Calling” by Triumphant Quartet. This my be the best album ever produced by Triumphat and that is quite a statement because they have had several great projects. I think the song selection, and the great arrangements really set this album apart from others. Several songs on this recording just seem to really caught my attention from the first listen. I love the quartet covers of the mixed group songs “Saved by Grace” and ” We Shall Overcome”. And the title song is one of my top 5 songs for the year. I was both blessed and entertained by this album, and don’t think anyone can ask for more than that in a gospel recording.
