David Phelps is a tremendous singer. I did think it was odd that they had Wes drop down at all. There was already so much talk when comparing Hampton to Phelps. Wes is a great singer, and brings a different style to GVB.
At the same time, however. I think putting David Phelps on tenor puts Wes in second place. Just my two cents.
It was pretty simple this weekend. Phelps was tenor on the songs he used to sing with the GVB, like Alpha and Omega. And he was lead on current GVB songs in which Wes was the tenor, like Journey to the Sky and Place At The Table. Phelps even sang baritone on Jesus and John Wayne. They were tight and sounded great. Phelps was prepared and seemed to really enjoy being there. A great show by all the Homecoming artists!
Guest CD Review: Declaration (Booth Brothers): Another View (8) Naomi: Wow!! That is a fantastic review(and I’ve only made my way through the first half!). I am completely blown away by your knowledge of music in general. I don’t think I’ve... NewSoGoFan: Thank you! (filler words to keep Wordpress happy) Greg: This is my favorite southern gospel record in a very long time. Great review! NewSoGoFan: “This type of music” is what I would call “good music.” Much of it is not hard-core SG, but it doesn’t have to be. They’re deliberately thinking... Mr. Big: [edit] Again, I apologize for the negativity because the lyrics are delivering God’s word and that is awesome if you like this type of music, but I thought somebody had to say it....
Dolly Parton to appear at Singing News Fan Awards (3) SG Purist: I am dismayed to hear this, and frankly, more than a little disappointed in the Singing News. Southern Gospel has had this inferiority complex for years – that somehow, if we get... JEB: Most deserving… Always very supportive of SG – her first love. JEB Gladys: That is so nice that they are giving her an award & that she will attend. I think it’s great that Dollywood has always supported southern gospel music. Sure wish I could go to the...
Garner, Rulapaugh announce Freedom (8) Margie Roberts: Hi Josh, I’m so glad about your new group. Hope your group can come to Parkersburg, WV real soom. I have always enjoyed your beautiful voice of yours and wonderful...
New Blogger: Steve Eaton (5) New SoGo Fan: No. Instead we need another blogger who’s just as nice as all of those but brings his own unique flair to the table. Daniel J. Mount: …which is, of course, a great move, since we don’t need another DBM, another me, another Dinana, etc. Steve Eaton: Thanks Daniel, I am hoping to offer something a bit different than everyone else. Daniel J. Mount: He tends to prefer mixed groups, though there are a few all-male groups he’d also count as favorites. New SoGo Fan: What groups does he like? He mentioned future concert reviews.
Boy, this makes me want more from David Phelps. What a voice! I wish he had stayed in SG! Who did the video and which concert was it?
Man what a VOICE, he is just incredible, I really, really wish he would come back to SG.
I got cold chills when they sang the first line of the chorus. Wow!
Wow, you can hear Guy in the stacks pretty strong.

Maybe it was Wes’s call?
Just a suggestion.
