Impressive to say the least… I am really liking the new L5 sound… It is amazing how changing one singer in a group can change the dynamic and the perception of the entire group… Of course the tenor is a very big part in a quartet… And while I liked Frank Seamans as a seemingly great guy I was never sold on his quartet singing… Not saying he is a bad singer but maybe not cut out to be a tenor in this power style… Gus on the other hand seems to fit L5 vocally like a glove and he brings a great personality on and off the stage… I will say it right here this lineup providing it stays intact will go further than any lineup preceding it! I could see a Greater Vision, Booth Brothers, Sig Sound like run for these guys very soon… Providing they consistently get good material, and keep the same lineup.
I have heard from my sources Steve, that they just finished the mix on Just Stand II… So now it will be shipped to the manufacturer… It usually takes 2-3 weeks to get it back from the manufacturer… So maybe around the end of February… I hope sooner but we will see!
This is great! Gus sounds really good with L5 already… They talk about it taking awhile to get the right blend and chemistry, but to me it seems they already have it!
The sound is “spot on”, but what impresses me more than that is the genuineness (is that a word?) of the group, and that line, “when they found nothing, they found everything” is one of the most powerful in a long while.
I looked for you Friday, Feb. 5th in Wooster. I think L5 sounds really good. Probably one of the best L5 concerts that I have seen. The new tenor, Gus, seems to help Scott Fowler immensely. Ranges and breath control that I haven’t seen Scott accomplish since singing alongside Ernie & Glen.
Brad: I really hope “If You Knew Him’ wins song of the year because I think it is the best of several great songs this year. However, I will be surprised if any song other than the... Matt Baker: let me just say i am so proud of my buddy Dave Ragan for being nominated for 3 awards in just a little over a year on the road! Andrew S.: It should be interesting to see if the Hoppers continue to have their hold on their annual awards (Mixed Group, Female Vocalist, & Soprano). Am I the only one who found it... Mary Anne Moon: I’m with you Nick! Nick Trammell: I’m on board!! Brian: The Horizon Individual is definitely one to watch. Gaches, Ragan, and Barker are all high-profile candidates and are deserving. I would call Gaches the favorite due to the L5 fan base. I...
Carolyn Knight: I have been on a Gaither cruise and to 3 concerts. I am beside myself over Guy’s leaving. Can you tell me where Bill & Gloria live in Alexandria? How do they get out of...
Carl Ramsey: This is great. I hope it starts a trend among trios to go to a quartet. It is the fullest and richest sound in Southern Gospel. I am told by an insider that the percentage of quartets...

Tyler: Thanks for the affirmation guys! I am honored just to be included on this wonderful blog. Daniel, thanks for the compliment, disregarding the falsity of your statement about my writing... Daniel J. Mount: “This was the best review I have read in a very long time.” Tyler – looks like you’ve topped anything I wrote lately. Bravo – and maybe I should...

Steve Krout: One slight correction, the third song they sang was “He’ll Do It Everytime” off of What A Great Lifestyle. It was an excellent concert…probably the best... scott: very nice review and as mentioned above great re-post!

pj: From what Bill said Friday night in Reading, Marsh will fill in until Michael is able to return. And, yes, Marsh did a great job! They all did, including David who was sick… Gene... Martha: That is so cool! I was very sad when Marsh left…glad to see that there aren’t hard feelings. Or at least not enough to keep a “reunion” from happening.
quartet-man: I find the last few comments sad, perhaps with good motives, but misguided. To those of you who want to give free songs to reach the lost, what is wrong with your paying for them to do...

Sounds really good!
Does anyone know when the “Just Stand” project will be re-released with Gus’ voice ?
Gus said it should be released early this month.. really any day now! I’m excited to hear it
.
I have heard from my sources Steve, that they just finished the mix on Just Stand II… So now it will be shipped to the manufacturer… It usually takes 2-3 weeks to get it back from the manufacturer… So maybe around the end of February… I hope sooner but we will see!
I wish sooner since I have tickets to see them on Saturday! But I kind of doubt it’ll be by then!
Thanks for posting my video, Daniel
. I’m honored
. It is truly an amazing song, and Legacy Five sings it with such feeling!
You’re welcome! Thanks for posting it!
This is great! Gus sounds really good with L5 already… They talk about it taking awhile to get the right blend and chemistry, but to me it seems they already have it!
I think they already are at the same level that certain previous lineups had . . . and it might even get better from here!

I know. That song grabbed me the first time I heard it—and hasn’t let go yet!
I don’t get why it hasn’t done better on the radio so far… it’s an AMAZING song!! I guess I just don’t understand the process well enough.
Good grief.
Whoever paired those pants/jackets should be taken out and shot.
..with a 10 megapixel digital camera.
Sorry, couldn’t resist!
I rather liked the combination! The video really doesn’t do them justice. They’re much more snazzy in person
now if they could do just something with scott. lol
I have to admit…I have never been a fan of Legacy Five…but with the addition of Gus, they have picked p a new fan!
i love this song.

I had a ticket and really wanted to go, but with the road conditions my family talked me out of making the drive.
I should have thought about calling to see if you were going over and going with you!
