The Mark Trammell Trio has named Daybreak Quartet’s Joel Wood as their new tenor.
More thoughts tomorrow.
3:1 Reviews offer three highlights of an album and one area that could have been improved. 1: Daniel Ashmore. Since the Old Paths’ last album, they had a change at the bass position. They found 21-year-old Daniel Ashmore—and what a find! He sings with a warmth and rich resonance which suggest comparisons to Big John Hall [...]
Tenors, lead singers, and baritones record solo projects. Bass singers rarely record solo projects. When they do, those solo projects are often more intriguing than anything else. It can be fascinating to hear a singer whose strength is rattling subwoofers attempt the broader range a solo album demands. The lowest bass singers sometimes don’t have [...]
3:1 Reviews offer three highlights of an album and one area that could have been improved. 1: How Big is God. During Pat Barker’s time with the Dixie Echoes, “How Big is God” became his signature song. But much like Scott Fowler proved that the Cathedrals should keep singing “Champion of Love,” Mike Jennings proves that [...]
3:1 Reviews offer three highlights of an album and one area that could have been improved. 1: I’d Still Walk With Jesus. If this Jim Brady song sounds vaguely familiar, there is a good reason—it was recorded in 2006 by the Rochesters. But few remember that rendition, and the two groups have rather divergent styles. Of [...]
3:1 Reviews offer three highlights of an album and one area that could have been improved. 1: Concept. Few Southern Gospel releases can claim to be completely unique, but this is one of them. Shawn Degenhart, lead singer and visionary behind the project, had special access to the Stamps Quartet Music Company’s extensive 5,000+-song catalog. While [...]
3:1 Reviews offer three highlights of an album and one area that could have been improved. 1. “The Call is Still the Same”: The title cut is an autobiographical look at the challenges and blessing of a life spent following Christ. Tenor Matt Felts anchors the song, the best anthem the group has recorded in a [...]
Interesting hire to say the least… He IMO has some pretty big shoes to fill… I am looking forward to your thoughts on it Daniel…
Joel will do a good job. He is not super high like eric, but he has a great sound. He is also a really funny guy! we sang with him a few days in Scotland.
Hopefully Daybreak will find someone real quick.
Wow! I grew up around this guy. He is a great guy w/ a nice tone. The last time I heard him, he didn’t sing as high as many of the tenors you may hear. However, that was about 5 years ago or more. Way to go Joel!
I just saw a DayBreak video on YouTube. Nathan’s microphone was out.
Another note, sghistory.com needs a page on DayBreak.
Good luck Joel! Hope that this works out great for you and your family. God Bless and hope to see you on the road somewhere!
