SG Albums features Prophets Mega Review
A mega review of the reorganized Prophets’ debut project, I’ll Follow, has been posted over at SouthernGospelAlbums.com. Since I have a songwriting cut on the project, I held off from commenting much. I did add a few thoughts here and there.
The project got an average rating of 3.1 (of 5) stars. It seems the consensus was that it left the reviewers wishing for a little more, particularly more features from Bill Baize and Mike Allen. But it does show potential of what the group could be.
Probably half the list could have some...

Given all the hype surrounding this recording, I was somewhat underwhelmed by the final outcome.
Since this is a “revamped” Prophets Quartet, I was really expecting to hear more numbers made famous by the Prophets of days gone by.
I also realize that lead singers like Jay Berry, Jack Toney, Jim Wesson, Roy McNeal, Dean Brown, and Don Seabolt are tough acts to follow . . . but they set the table for some great quartet singing. I truly miss those powerful lead voices.
