Saturday News Roundup #36

Posted in: News Roundup — Daniel J. Mount @ 7:00 am

Worth Reading:

• Nate at Burke’s Brainwork found a demo of Carrie Underwood of “Jesus Take the Wheel” fame singing “For God So Loved” in her pre-American Idol days. It’s pretty good, with a strong ending.
• Cody McVey is now officially the pianist for the Kingsmen. He’s been with them for months, but it was on a trial basis at first.
• Aaron Swain has the scoop: Cross 4 Crowns has a new tenor, their fourth in two years, Marcus Faulknor. Does anyone know if he’s related to the Faulknor brothers that comprise a fellow Crossroads group, the trio Voices Won?

Upcoming Reviews:

• June 5 – Almost Morning (The Perrys)
• June 12 – When You Look at Me (Kingdom Heirs)
• June 18 – Keep Travelin’ On (Chuck Wagon Gang)
• June 26 – Book Review: Mighty Lot of Singin’ (Gerald Williams)
• July 3 – A Wonderful Love (Melody Boys Quartet)
• July 10 – DVD Review: 1951 1958 Live (Blackwood Brothers)

   I heard that the Living Waters Trio has quit singing due to some personal issues. Anyone know why?

   Daniel, Marcus is our cousin. He sang with Jericho for I believe was about 3 or so years. He is a very talented singer, great guy!

  • Gaither Programming to debut on Hallmark (4)
    Meagan: This is a link to what I think you are looking for. If you go to Gaither.com, there is always a link to a promotional package recently seen on TV. Here is the direct link. Hope this helps!...
    Gail: What was the promotional 800 number that Gaither advertised at the end of the program on Hallmark today 11/20/09. It was 1-800-771 ????? I didn’t get the rest of the number. Did anyone...
    Bev: This is great especially since we don’t get any of the gospel stations on our cable.
    Meagan: I think this is a great thing. Besides PBS stations and country music stations, I do not know of another secular channel that carries Gaither programs or other Gospel music programming....
    
  
  
  • Palmetto State to appear on Oprah (25)
    DeAnn: Burman Porter is one of the best out there. As it comes to PSQ being in secular venues – they are backing up Wynonne during her Christmas tour and then doing some SGM while Wyonne...
    Daniel J. Mount: I’ll say you can blame it on being 25 if you like. Blame it on whatever you like! Fact is, my reason is simple enough: I have no interest in any secular music.
    Amy Rogers: OK, well I tried! Usually people tell me I’m too young, so …
    Meagan: I agree, Daniel. I do the same, nowadays, also I have a small bit of interest in secular music as well. I enjoyed the harmonies of Naomi and Wynonna Judds when they performed as The Judds....
    Meagan: SG is my primary love, but I do occasionally enjoy listening to other genres.
    Meagan: I can’t say that you can blame it on that as I am 25 also and I know of her. Good try though! Haha!
    Daniel J. Mount: Oh. And Burman Porter was hardly shabby, either. And Wesley Smith (now of Dixie Echoes fame).
    Amy Rogers: I clear forgot about Aaron McCune. I my dad might have some other PSQ music, historical relics by now.
    Amy Rogers: I only have about 2,000, and a portion of that is Primitive Quartet. (jealous pout)
    Daniel J. Mount: My interest in PSQ comes from the fact that they had an absolutely incredible lineup when I first discovered Southern Gospel in 2004—John Rulapaugh, Kerry Beatty, Tony Peace, Aaron...
    
  
  
  • Signature Sound leaving Gaither tour? (31)
    Meagan: On the other hand, there are often people at Family Fest that do not regularly tour with the Gaithers.
    Benjamin: Let me start by saying that I am big a fan of EHSSQ. I attended an intimate video taping for their new Christmas album that will appear on the Gospel Music Channel this Christmas. There...
    martha: Sad that EHSS will not be with the Homecoming Tour when they come to New Brunswick this spring. (( But, I wish them the best non-the-less and I sure hope they continue to appear on some...
    
  
  
  • Talleys single “He’s Alive” (3)
    Aaron Swain: David Phelps sang this on his first solo project in 1994, Journey To Grace. This rendition is just as good!
    
  
  
  • Aaron & Amanda Crabb to join John Hagee team (12)
    greg: Don’t know how the rest of you feel, but as far as Aaron and Amanda, they are as pure as gold! Thier heart beats to worship and bring honor to the Lord. Many people are gloriously saved...
    
  
  
  • NQC to move to Indianapolis? (66)
    Judy: Personally, we would be thrilled to have NQC move to Indianapolis. It would cut down our drive a little although not that much BUT we have had our general Church convention in Indianapolis...
