Southern Gospel News Roundup
There have been enough news stories over the past few days that I have fallen a little behind.
- Crossroads Records signed Cross 4 Crowns to a distribution and radio promotion agreement. The group caught my attention when Dallas Rogers joined them. They appear to have a solid sound, and I look forward to hearing what they will be able to do on the national level. Rogers’ previous group, the Dixie Echoes, was with Crossroads for a while, but that was before Rogers’ stint with the group.
- Christianity Today posted the story behind Dottie Rambo’s classic song “He Looked Beyond My Fault.”
- Soul’d Out Quartet has added Michael Howard on keyboards, freeing up baritone/pianist Tanner Stahl to focus on baritone vocals.
- I took part in mega reviews of the Dove Brothers’ Life and Triumphant Quartet’s Intermission. For once I gave the table project (Intermission) the higher rating!

New Blogger: Steve Eaton (5)
New SoGo Fan: No. Instead we need another blogger who’s just as nice as all of those but brings his own unique flair to the table.
Daniel J. Mount: …which is, of course, a great move, since we don’t need another DBM, another me, another Dinana, etc.
Steve Eaton: Thanks Daniel, I am hoping to offer something a bit different than everyone else.
Daniel J. Mount: He tends to prefer mixed groups, though there are a few all-male groups he’d also count as favorites.
New SoGo Fan: What groups does he like? He mentioned future concert reviews.
Actually, that link is to the story behind Dottie Rambo’s “He Looked Beyond My Fault and Saw My Need.”
Thanks for catching that–it was my typo. I went back and fixed it.
No problem!
