Reader Matt Paasch went to a Gold City concert last weekend, and has posted an extensive photo gallery: http://www.southerngospelblog.com/gallery/?level=album&id=16.

He also picked up several interesting tidbits of news about Gold City’s upcoming projects. Their next project, Moment of Truth, is set to include remakes of the Imperials’ “Cast Your Bread Upon the Water” and a little-known Cathedrals track from the early 1980s, “Turn Your Back.”

They are also working on a Classics 2 project of songs that earlier lineups of the group have recorded. That album will include Just Like You, How Deep is the Water, and Holy Anointing. (Brandon Coomer added that the project will also include “Glory is Waiting” and “Love Went Deeper.”)

It seems my post “Could a traditional label make it?” sparked quite a discussion. My favorite comment so far: In answer to the viewpoint that people want to hear modern / progressive Southern Gospel, reader SV writes:

I wish that SG were bigger than it is, and I do my best to promote it, but in some fans eyes, if it isn’t modern or progressive they think it hurts the industry and people are tired of it… Well, tell that to the packed houses we had EVERY night this weekend.

His group isn’t the only group saying that, either.
