Kirk Talley

In 1984, Cathedral Quartet tenor Kirk Talley joined his brother Roger Talley and sister-in-law Debra Talley (Roger’s wife) to form the Talleys. The trio disbanded in 1993. It re-formed in 1996, with Roger and Debra Talley singing lead and alto, and their daughter, Lauren Talley, singing soprano.

In the years since he left the Talleys, he has had a solo career.

3:1 CD Review: Right Now (The Old Paths)

3:1 Reviews offer three highlights of an album and one area that could have been improved. 1: Daniel Ashmore. Since the Old Paths’ last album, they had a change at the bass position. They found 21-year-old Daniel Ashmore—and what a find! He sings with a warmth and rich resonance which suggest comparisons to Big John Hall [...]

CD Review: Inspired (Justin Terry)

Tenors, lead singers, and baritones record solo projects. Bass singers rarely record solo projects. When they do, those solo projects are often more intriguing than anything else. It can be fascinating to hear a singer whose strength is rattling subwoofers attempt the broader range a solo album demands. The lowest bass singers sometimes don’t have [...]

3:1 CD Review: Live at Silver Dollar City (Dixie Echoes)

3:1 Reviews offer three highlights of an album and one area that could have been improved. 1: How Big is God. During Pat Barker’s time with the Dixie Echoes, “How Big is God” became his signature song. But much like Scott Fowler proved that the Cathedrals should keep singing “Champion of Love,” Mike Jennings proves that [...]

3:1 CD Review: In Good Hands (Declaration)

3:1 Reviews offer three highlights of an album and one area that could have been improved. 1: I’d Still Walk With Jesus. If this Jim Brady song sounds vaguely familiar, there is a good reason—it was recorded in 2006 by the Rochesters. But few remember that rendition, and the two groups have rather divergent styles. Of [...]

3:1 CD Review: Gospel Echoes: Treasures from the Stamps Quartet Music Company (Heritage Harmony Quartet)

3:1 Reviews offer three highlights of an album and one area that could have been improved. 1: Concept. Few Southern Gospel releases can claim to be completely unique, but this is one of them. Shawn Degenhart, lead singer and visionary behind the project, had special access to the Stamps Quartet Music Company’s extensive 5,000+-song catalog. While [...]

3:1 CD Review: The Call is Still the Same (Dixie Melody Boys)

3:1 Reviews offer three highlights of an album and one area that could have been improved. 1. “The Call is Still the Same”: The title cut is an autobiographical look at the challenges and blessing of a life spent following Christ. Tenor Matt Felts anchors the song, the best anthem the group has recorded in a [...]
