They all got Volume Numbers except for Hymns, Foundation (present group and the time singing the group's previously recorded song), and 10th Anniversary Live (same premise as Foundation but done live). Pilgrim Song (Volume 7) was the last one to be labeled as a volume. For some reason This Changes Everything was called Chapter 1 and then Turn to the One was called Chapter 2 and the group was retired shortly after that. Timeless 1 (collection of quartet standards) was released between Chapters 1 and 2. When the group was brought back they didn't number them anymore (to my knowledge). I'd like to know why instead of continuing with Volume 8 and 9 that they did Chapter 1 and 2. The vocal personnel was the same in the transition.

They were one of my top five groups during this time period (right up there with the Cathedrals and Gold City). This CD is probably my second favorite Poet Voices CD (right behind "Trust The Truth"). The vocal lineup on these two CD's was excellent. As Seaton said, this CD began the quartet era for Poet Voices.

With "This Changes Everything" it said Chapter 6 or something like that. Another one was "Pilgrim Song Volume 7." Is this to mark each of their cd releases?

At the time the lineup was Phil Cross on lead, Dale Brock on tenor, Tim Duncan on base and Richie Works on piano. Donny Henderson had just left the baritone spot and Scott Inman later landed the job. I thought that lineup was a very good one as well, as you mentioned in the original post. I auditioned for Poet Voices back in 2001.

Their first three recordings were trio (that is the way the group started) recordings. Daniel,
