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)
