Home: Mark Bishop

GRADE:  B

  • Album:  Home
  • Artist:  Mark Bishop
  • Label:  Sonlite
  • Style:  Folk, Country
  • Producer(s):  Jeff Collins
  • Release Date:  01/26/24
  • Running Time:  41 Minutes

SYNOPSIS:

Today we are going to take a look at the latest album from Mark Bishop; Home.

Mark’s singer/songwriter ‘down home’ folk style has endeared him to many listeners since becoming a solo artist over 20 years ago.  Mark’s 2024 album release, Home, only enhances that style. 

As with all of Mark’s recordings, he wrote all eleven new songs found on Home.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Mark outdid himself when writing the material for Home.  I consider several songs on the album some of the best compositions of his career.
  • The immediate stand out was the album’s first radio single, “I Met Somebody On The Way To The Cemetery”.  Mark always has a unique way with words.  The title alone makes you want to give the song a listen.  
  • That is followed by the album’s current radio single, “What I Don’t Know How To Do, Jesus Does”.  This is the style song listeners have come to expect from Mark; an up-tempo folk style song that will have you hitting repeat before listening to the rest of the album.
  • Another must listen is the ‘rock-a-billy’ style title track, “Home”.  This would also make for a strong radio single contender.
  • I don’t want to leave the review without mentioning the album’s opening track, “I Found Something Better”.  Reminiscent of the classic country sounds of Hank Williams and Buck Owens; give it a listen.
  • Strongest songs included in order:  “I Met Somebody On The Way To The Cemetery”; “What I Don’t Know How To Do, Jesus Does”; “Home”; “I Found Something Better”; “But There Is A Cross”; “I Am Unshackled/Thank God I Am Free” and “Come Unto Me All Ye Who Are Weary”.
 
 
CRITIQUE:
  • The album’s style does get a bit disjointed with the two progressive Southern Gospel style songs at the end of the recording.
  • “Ten Thousand Witnesses” gets full, sweeping orchestration that stylistically separates from the rest of the recording.
  • Weakest songs included in order:  “Waiting For You” and “A Lovely Tapestry”.

WRAP UP:

Mark Bishop continues to provide listeners with his endearing, folksy style.  I would consider Home among the top five albums released in Bishop’s recording career.  Several songs on the album are also among the best of his songwriting career.

Nobody Like Jesus: LeFevre Quartet

GRADE:  B+

  • Album:  Nobody Like Jesus
  • Artist:  LeFevre Quartet
  • Label:  New Day
  • Style:  Progressive, Country
  • Producer(s):  Wayne Haun
  • Release Date:  11/17/23
  • Running Time:  35 Minutes

SYNOPSIS:

I’m still playing catch up with album reviews.  I’m hoping to get back to a regular schedule where I post a missing 2023 album review and a newer 2024 album review in the same week.  Today we take a look at the 2023 album release from the LeFevre Quartet; Nobody Like Jesus.

I ranked Nobody Like Jesus one of the top five albums released in 2023.  LeFevre Quartet took a brief hiatus and returned in 2023 with a new album, new vocal line-up and a limited tour schedule.  While Nobody Like Jesus gives listeners that progressive LeFevre Quartet sound they’re familiar with, the album also tends to lean into a country sound/style.

The current vocal line up which is found on the album is comprised of Jonathan Price (tenor), Jordan LeFevre (lead), Mike LeFevre (baritone) and Christian Davis (bass).  Channing Eleton provides pianist duties during the group’s touring schedule.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • The album’s title track, “Nobody Like Jesus”, has already been to #1.  Featuring Mike, this is also the stand out track from the album.
  • Jordan is featured on another stand out, “Glory Bound”.  This ballad builds throughout the song without being over the top in terms of vocal and instrumentation.  This would make for a strong radio single choice.
  • Speaking of radio singles, the current song at radio is the Jordan feature, “There Is A Name”.  This song gets the full Wayne Haun power ballad orchestration.  Kudos to Haun on not over orchestrating the entire album but reserving it for this power ballad.
  • Good to hear Christian Davis doing Southern Gospel quartet music again.  His bass vocal strength is evident on the mid to up-tempo, “Cast My Burdens”.  Add this to the list of potential radio single choices.
  • The other Christian Davis feature that deserves a listen is the country style ballad, “Man In The Middle”.
  • Strongest songs included in order: “Nobody Like Jesus”; “Glory Bound”; “Cast My Burdens”; “Man In The Middle”; “There Is A Name” and “The Things We Cannot Change”.
 
CRITIQUE:
 
  • There was only one song that felt out of place on Nobody Like Jesus, “Because Of Who He Is”.  Style and arrangement didn’t fit with the rest of the album.
  • Weakest songs included in order: “Because Of Who He Is”.

WRAP UP:

Even with a limited tour schedule and new vocal line-up, the LeFevre Quartet released the best Southern Gospel quartet album of 2023.  The hits from this album will continue well into 2024. 

SONG (tempo)/Featured Vocalist – Songwriter:  1. “Nobody Like Jesus” (Mid)/Mike – John Honaker, Jonathan Smith  2. “Cast My Burdens” (Mid/Fast)/Christian – Lee Black, Jason Cox  3. “Looks Like A Miracle To Me” (Mid)/Jonathan – Don Koch, Sue C Smith  4. “Glory Bound” (Slow)/Jordan Brent Ellison, Wayne Haun, Keith Hill  5. “The Things We Cannot Change” (Mid/Fast)/Ensemble – Dave Clark, Wayne Haun, Scotty Inman  6. “Man In The Middle” (Mid/Slow)/Christian – Val Dacus, Aaron Stewart  7. “Never Walk Alone” (Slow)/Mike – Jess Cates, Hope Darst, Tommy Iceland, Lizzie Morgan, Jonathan Smith  8. “Because Of Who He Is” (Mid)/Jonathan – Dave Clark, Don Koch  9. “There Is A Name” (Slow)/Jordan – Don Koch

Beautiful: Nelons

GRADE:  B

  • Album:  Beautiful
  • Artist:  Nelons
  • Label:  Daywind
  • Style:  Progressive
  • Producer(s):  Jason Clark
  • Release Date:  04/28/23
  • Running Time:  37 Minutes

SYNOPSIS:

Today we take a look at the latest album from the Nelons; Beautiful.

The Nelons had a tough task in following up their landmark album of 2020 (Peace At Last).  I guess the way to ease into the next recording is throw an album of mainly song covers before another album of new music.  Of the nine songs on Beautiful, the only new song is the title track.

The 2023 vocal line up of the Nelons remains consistent with Autumn Clark (alto/harmony), Amber Kistler (soprano), Kelly Nelon Clark (alto/harmony) and Jason Clark (baritone/harmony).

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • On an album full of covers, the stand out song was the title track, “Beautiful”.  A mid to up-tempo song that made for a great radio single.
  • The only up-tempo, ‘barn burner’, on Beautiful is the group’s cover of the Albert E Brumley classic, “Put On A Crown”.  How many times did I hit repeat?
  • Autumn turns in a strong performance on the cover of “God Is Speaking”.  This song would make for a great radio single choice since a large swath of the Southern Gospel listening audience may not already be familiar with the song.
  • One song cover I didn’t mind hearing again is the Nelons signature song, “O For A Thousand Tongues”.  Done in honor of the song’s 40th anniversary.
  • Jason has to be commended on the production value of Beautiful.  One word; flawless!
  • Strongest songs included in order: “Beautiful”; “God Is Speaking”; “Put On A Crown”; “O For A Thousand Tongues”; “Hear The Voice Of My Beloved” and “All The Glory Belongs To Jesus”.
 
CRITIQUE:
 
  • Did the Southern Gospel listening audience need another version of “Goodness Of God”?
  • When attempting to follow up an album of the caliber of Free At Last, I guess the safest route is release and album of song covers.
  • Weakest songs included in order: “Goodness Of God”.

WRAP UP:

While Beautiful is an album filled with previously recorded songs, it is still worth a listen.  What the Nelons are able to do is take these songs and elevate them to a level that few group’s are able to achieve vocally. 

SONG (tempo)/Featured Vocalist – Songwriter:  1. “Beautiful” (Mid/Fast)/Ensemble – Jason Clark, Don Poythress, Kenna West  2. “All The Glory Belongs To Jesus” (Slow)/Ensemble – Gloria Gaither, William J Gaither  3. “God Is Speaking” (Slow)/Autumn – Ronnie Freeman Jr  4. “Rise Up (Lazarus Song)” (Mid)/Amber; Ensemble Logan Cain, Madison Cain, Taylor Cain, Ethan Hulse, Nick Schwarz  5. “Goodness Of God” (Slow)/Amber; Autumn – Ed Cash, Ben Fielding, Jason Ingram, Brian Johnson, Jenn Johnson  6. “O For A Thousand Tongues” (Slow)/Kelly – David Binion  7. “Put On A Crown” (Fast)/Ensemble; Jason; Amber – Albert E Brumley  8. “Hear The Voice Of My Beloved” (Slow)/Amber; Ensemble – Gloria Gaither, William J Gaither, Ron Griffin  9. “Look For Me” (Slow)/Jason; Kelly – Rusty Goodman

Always Grace: Tribute Quartet

GRADE:  B

  • Album:  Always Grace
  • Artist:  Tribute Quartet
  • Label:  Daywind
  • Style:  Traditional; Progressive
  • Producer(s):  Wayne Haun
  • Release Date:  01/27/23
  • Running Time:  37 Minutes

SYNOPSIS:

Today we take a look at the latest album from Tribute Quartet; Always Grace.

Tribute Quartet releases their first album of new songs since 2019 (Living The Stories).  They have found success the last couple years releasing song covers of classic songs and having huge hits with them (think “I Call It Home”).

The 2023 vocal line up of Tribute Quartet is Gus Gaches (tenor), Gary Casto (lead), Josh Singletary (baritone) and Ian Owens (bass).

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Bass vocalist, Ian Owens is featured on the album’s stand out song, “Nobody’s Too Broken”.  This mid-tempo song showcases Ian’s vocal talent while still conveying the importance of the lyric.
  • On the other end you have tenor vocalist, Gus Gaches turn in a strong performance on the ballad, “The Cross Tells A Different Story”.  This would make for a strong radio single choice.  A must listen.
  • Speaking of radio singles, the latest is the up-tempo, “Free Indeed”.  Great choice.  This song will have you singing along and hitting repeat.
  • After the success of “I Call It Home”, Josh gets another big feature on the orchestrated ballad, “Glory”.  The song gets the full Wayne Haun treatment.
  • Strongest songs included in order: “Nobody’s Too Broken”; “The Cross Tells A Different Story”; “Free Indeed”; “Glory”; “Halfway Up The Mountain” and “That’s Trusting God”.
 
CRITIQUE:
 
  • The easy listening, Dean Martin, lounge style songs just don’t fit with the rest of the recording.
  • Tribute Quartet is still chasing what I consider to be their best recording, Here For You (2016).
  • Weakest songs included in order: “Three Little Words” and “It’s Always Been Grace”.

WRAP UP:

Tribute Quartet provide listeners with another consistent recording in Always Grace.  They should garner a couple more hit songs as a result. 

SONG (tempo)/Featured Vocalist – Songwriter:  1. “Halfway Up The Mountain” (Fast)/Ensemble; Gary – Jeff Bumgardner, Wayne Haun, Joel Lindsey  2. “Nobody’s Too Broken” (Mid/Slow)/Ian – Lee Black; Sue C Smith  3. “That’s Trusting God” (Slow)/Gary – Jim Brady, Rodney Griffin  4. “It’s Always Been Grace” (Mid)/Gus Chris Allman, Matthew Lawson  5. “Three Little Words” (Mid)/Ensemble; Gus; Ian – Sue C Smith; Dianne Wilkinson  6. “So Many Reasons” (Mid)/Ensemble – John Honaker, Jonathan Smith  7. “The Cross Tells A Different Story” (Slow)/Gus – Lee Black, Barry Weeks, Kenna West  8. “Mercy’s Gonna Meet You There” (Mid/Fast)/Ian – Lee Black, Barry Weeks, Kenna West  9. “Glory” (Slow)/Josh – Mark Mathes, Rodney Griffin  10. “Free Indeed” (Fast)/Gary – Lee Black, Tony Wood

Breakthrough: Browns

GRADE:  B+

  • Album:  Breakthrough
  • Artist:  Browns
  • Label:  StowTown
  • Style:  Progressive
  • Producer(s):  Wayne Haun
  • Release Date:  04/14/23
  • Running Time:  24 Minutes

SYNOPSIS:

Today we take a look at the latest EP from the Browns; Breakthrough.

The Browns have been teamed with StowTown Records now for a decade.  Breakthrough follows the group’s 2020 EP, Brave.  Both have provided listeners with some of the best songs in the Brown’s recording career.

The vocal line up on Breakthrough consists of Adam Brown (lead/harmony), Michaela Brown (soprano/harmony) and Andrew Brown (baritone/harmony).

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • The EP’s stand out song is the first radio single and title track, “Breakthrough”.  The Browns are one of a few Southern Gospel artists that release videos to their songs.  Definitely adds a special touch in this visual age.
  • The album’s current radio single is the reflective ballad, “My View From The Valley”.  When you get songwriters Gina Boe, Marcia Henry and Sue C Smith together, you can’t expect anything less than outstanding.  A must listen!
  • The EP gets the Wayne Haun treatment with the closing song, “The Tomb Is Empty Now”.  While orchestrated it is not over powering.  This would make for another strong radio single choice.
  • While not featured or on the album artwork, I’m sure I heard mom, Shelly Brown harmonize on the recording.
  • Strongest songs included in order: “Breakthrough”; “My View From The Valley”; “The Tomb Is Empty Now”; “Move” and “The Song We Sing”.
 
CRITIQUE:
 
  • The praise and worship style of “No One Greater” seemed out of place with the rest of the recording.
  • Weakest songs included in order: “No One Greater”.

WRAP UP:

With the release of Breakthrough and their last EP, Brave; the Browns are releasing the best music of their recording career thus far. 

SONG (tempo)/Featured Vocalist – Songwriter:  1. “The Song We Sing” (Mid/Fast)/Ensemble – Michaela Brown, Shelly Brown, Jeff Bumgardner, Joel Lindsey  2. “No One Greater” (Mid)/Andrew – Jeff Bumgardner, Carl Cartee, Don Koch  3. “Breakthrough” (Mid)/Adam – Shane Dunlap, Wayne Haun, Sue C Smith  4. “Try A Little Kindness” (Mid/Fast)/Adam; Andrew Bobby Austin, Curtis Sapaugh  5. “My View From The Valley” (Slow)/Michaela – Gina Boe, Marcia Henry, Sue C Smith  6. “Move” (Mid/Fast)/Ensemble; Adam – Randall Garland, Wayne Haun, Marcia Henry  7. “The Tomb Is Empty Now” (Slow)/Adam; Michaela – Jeff Bumgardner, Joel Lindsey

There’s A Song For That: Down East Boys

GRADE:  B+

  • Album:  There’s A Song For That
  • Artist:  Down East Boys
  • Label:  Sonlite
  • Style:  Traditional
  • Producer(s):  Jeff Collins
  • Release Date:  04/21/23
  • Running Time:  23 Minutes

SYNOPSIS:

Today we take a look at the latest EP from the Down East Boys; There’s A Song For That.

Ricky Carden has been at the helm of the Down East Boys for 30 years.  The quartet still provides listeners with traditional Southern Gospel quartet music with some progressive sounds thrown into the mix.  While There’s A Song For That is only a six song EP, it still gives listeners that formula.

While the current vocal line-up of the Down East Boys is comprised of Doug Pittman (tenor), Ricky Carden (lead), Cayden Howell (baritone) and Alex Utech (bass); former baritone, Daryl Paschal is on the EP.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • The EP’s stand out song is the current radio single, “Love Worth Dying For”.  Doug Pittman has been featured on many of the quartet’s recent hit songs.  Add this one to the list.  I wouldn’t be surprised if the song went to #1.
  • Listeners are treated to a traditional up-tempo song with “The Song Of The Redeemed”.  I can see this song doing well in the live concert setting.
  • The EP’s first radio single was the Easter themed, “Celebration At The Empty Grave”.  Another in a long list of Down East Boys hit songs.
  • I enjoyed how Alex and Doug traded verses on “A Song About Going Home”.  Hearing the bass and tenor vocalist featured on the same song is a nice touch.
  • Strongest songs included in order: “Love Worth Dying For”; “The Song Of The Redeemed”; “Celebration At The Empty Grave” and “A Song About Going Home”.
 
CRITIQUE:
 
  • Ricky is good at honoring Dottie Rambo on a Down East Boys recording.  Ricky is featured on the Dottie classic, “Until He Comes”.  While the song turned out great, I would’ve probably included another new song since it was only a six song EP.
  • Weakest songs included in order: “Until He Comes”.

WRAP UP:

I’ll never understand why the larger Southern Gospel listening audience doesn’t consider the Down East Boys when talking about the best quartets.  They are providing listeners with some of the best Southern Gospel quartet music right now and have been at the top of their game for the last half decade. 

SONG (tempo)/Featured Vocalist – Songwriter:  1. “There’s A Song For That” (Mid/Fast)/Ricky – Jessica Campbell, Jason Cox, Kenna West  2. “Love Worth Dying For” (Slow)/Doug – Amy Sue Keffer, John Lemonis  3. “Celebration At The Empty Grave” (Fast)/Ensemble; Daryl – Rodney Griffin, Barbara Huffman  4. “A Song About Going Home” (Slow)/Alex; Daryl; Doug Lee Black, Danny Jones, Kenna West  5. “The Song Of The Redeemed” (Fast)/Ensemble – Chris Binion, Ricky Carden  6. “Until He Comes” (Slow)/Ricky; Doug – Dottie Rambo

Be The Reason: Steeles

GRADE:  B+

  • Album:  Be The Reason
  • Artist:  Steeles
  • Label:  StowTown
  • Style:  Progressive
  • Producer(s):  Wayne Haun
  • Release Date:  02/17/23
  • Running Time:  30 Minutes

SYNOPSIS:

Today we take a look at the latest album from the Steeles; Be The Reason.

It has been 30 years since the Steeles was first heard on Southern Gospel Radio.  The group garnered several #1 hits in the mid to late 1990’s.  Be The Reason is the 2023 album released by the Steeles.  The music provided by the Steeles in the last decade is more progressive than the music provided during the mid to late 1990’s.

The vocal line-up of the Steeles is comprised of Brad Steele (lead), Sherry Steele (soprano) and Jeff Steele (baritone).

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Brad has followed in his father’s footsteps by being the group’s resident songwriter.  Brad helped co-write all eight songs found on Be The Reason.
  • The stand out song was the album’s first radio single, “A Hundred Different Altars”.  This style songwriting (personal stories/messages that everyone can relate to) is what makes Brad Steele one of Southern Gospel’s current best songwriters.
  • Another is the album’s closing track, “On The Way”.  Everyone has bad days and there are times we deal with defeat.  “On The Way” delivers a personal but powerful message.  A must listen!
  • The album’s current radio single is the opening song, “Braggin’ On Jesus”.  This mid-tempo song will have you hitting repeat before moving on to the rest of the album.
  • Wayne Haun’s big orchestrations are found on Be The Reason, but they don’t dominate the recording.
  • Strongest songs included in order: “A Hundred Different Altars”; “Braggin’ On Jesus”; “On The Way”; “On The King’s Shoulders” and “In The Dark”.
 
CRITIQUE:
 
  • There are a couple songs that border on a modern praise and worship style.  No need to rehash my thoughts on modern day ‘big box’ church praise and worship music.
  • Weakest songs included in order: “Undefeated”.

WRAP UP:

There is more to like than not on Be The Reason.  I can’t say enough about Brad Steele’s songwriting and the caliber of songs he is writing/cowriting.  Be The Reason is a nice counterpart to the group’s 2020 album (A Song To Remind You).

Treasure: Jeff & Sheri Easter

GRADE:  B+

  • Album:  Treasure
  • Artist:  Jeff & Sheri Easter
  • Label:  Gaither Music Group
  • Style:  Country; Progressive
  • Producer(s):  Greg Cole; Jeff Easter; Sheri Easter
  • Release Date:  02/10/23
  • Streaming:  Yes
  • Running Time:  37 Minutes

SYNOPSIS:

Today we take a look at the latest album from Jeff and Sheri Easter; Treasure.

Jeff and Sheri Easter have been providing Southern Gospel listeners with their country/bluegrass sound for over 35 years.  Treasure continues that trend, not straying from what listeners have come to expect from the duo.

The album gives both Jeff and Sheri the same number of features with Sheri contributing her songwriting talents to four of the new songs.

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Jeff and Sheri continue their streak of having at least one #1 song from their recent album releases.  2023 gave the duo another #1 song with the album’s first radio single, “One Name”.  This is definitely one of several stand out songs on the album.
  • The next stand out is the album’s current radio single, “Here Comes Jesus”.  Mo Pitney joins Jeff on this country style song that Mo also co-wrote.  This song could give Jeff and Sheri two #1  songs in a row.
  • Sheri helped co-write another potential #1 song, “Fall Into Place”.  Sheri always gets a slower country style ballad each album and nearly every time the song is a winner.  This is a must listen!
  • Sheri is also featured on the album’s closing track, “Sunshine On A Cloudy Day”.  This is a cover of an Archers song that dates back to 1980 (Celebrate Live).  The Archers join Sheri on this newer version.
  • In addition to “Here Comes Jesus”, Jeff’s best feature is the Sheri co-write; “The Giving Part Of Living”.
  • Strongest songs included in order: “One Name”; “Here Comes Jesus”; “Fall Into Place”; “Sunshine On A Cloudy Day”; “The Giving Part Of Living” and “I’ll Speak Love”.
 
CRITIQUE:
 
  • There are a couple mainstream country songs that are good but don’t stack up to the caliber of the stand out songs.
  • Weakest songs included in order: “The Only Way He Knew How” and “No Rock”.

WRAP UP:

Jeff and Sheri Easter hit another home run with Treasure.  They continue to be at the top of their game in terms of the caliber of songs they are providing Southern Gospel listeners.  Easily one of the best Southern Gospel albums released in 2023.
