Oh I see, Daniel. I guess I can understand that. I don’t think the Dove Bros. will continue in this direction. They must have felt led to put these songs on their CD. I am sure they will touch someone listening.

Quite a few SG songs have a country beat. Some of the discussion seems to be due to the fact that the lyrics are a little more country than would be expected on an SG project.

For anyone who is interested in hearing the full song (as done by Monument on their country project), visit here: http://www.myspace.com/monumentquartet

I think the Dove Brothers are doing things just fine. They aren’t really changing their style in my eyes. Every group out there has “played” with our styles of Southern Gospel Music. So some songs have a country beat. In my opinion, most Southern Gospel songs do.

The name of the game is to retain the fan you have while attracting new fans who haven’t heard you before. If you always sing the same style of music, the chances of attracting new fans diminishes.

“I Can Pray” made history for the Dove Brothers in a way that none of their previous singles ever did.

I’m going to reserve comment on _Life_ until I can hear the whole thing, but I’ve really enjoyed everything they’ve done since David Hester joined the group. This country sound they adopted with “Movin’ To The Rhythm” and fleshed out on the _Anything But Ordinary, Everything But Typical_ and _Never The Same_ projects works great with their vocals.

I’m glad they aren’t content to find a single formula and try to duplicate that every time they go into the studio. Some groups do that and do it very, very well…Greater Vision is a good example. With DBQ, though, I’m more more interested in hearing what they come up with next because I don’t know exactly what to expect. I never expected “I Can Pray” after hearing their previous CD, but they were absolutely right to record it. I plan to give _Life_ the same opportunity to impress me without knowing exactly what to expect.

My philosophy: if it’s not broke, don’t fix it. Why change, when what you were doing in the first place is what made you sucessfull and brought you to where you are today?
I have nothing against the Dove Brothers, I just don’t understand why they’re going in the direction they are.

Monument has gone the direction that the Statler Bros. and Oak Ridge Boys had gone…country music with some Gospel.

Aaron–yes, they did. They had it on a continuous loop at their NQC booth. If I’m not mistaken, they’re currently pushing it to CMT (Country Music Television).

Ronnie Milsap originally recorded “A Day In the Life of America” on his recent cd, “My Life”, as well as the original version of “You Don’t Know My Love”, which has been re-written for DBQ as “You Don’t Know God’s Love”.

I think Monument Quartet recently did a video of “A Day In The Life” and used some carnival in the background.
