Liberty Quartet Releases New Album “Encore”

Liberty Quartet proudly presents their latest recording, “Encore!” This is a compilation of 14 songs that Liberty has sung with previous group members. Although these songs have been recorded on past projects, Executive Producers Doran Ritchey and Royce Mitchell have created some fresh arrangements with current vocalists. The vocalists performing on this album include Royce Mitchell, founding member and bass; Paul W. Ellis, lead; Will Arasmith, baritone; Peyton Olive, tenor; and Doran Ritchey, piano and baritone.

Liberty Quartet welcomed their new tenor, Peyton Olive, to the group last year and the quartet has been performing these songs in concert with the new lineup. The group is especially excited about their new arrangement of “How Great Thou Art,” which was released as a single in advance of the full album, as well as their unplugged rendition of “There is A River,” with an impressive tenor feature. The entire album is highlighted by incredible orchestration by Cody McVey and beautiful mixing and mastering by their very own Will Arasmith.

“Encore!” can be found on all streaming platforms as well as on Liberty Quartet’s online store. When you hear one of these songs during a service, now you can purchase the album of the group you’re listening to and take them home with you.

Gospel Music Icon Nancy Harmon, Passes Away at 85

Nancy Harmon, a renowned gospel singer and songwriter, passed away peacefully on December 13, 2024, at the age of 85 after a courageous battle with Alzheimer’s disease. She died at her home in Cleveland, Tennessee, surrounded by loving caregivers.

Born on September 25, 1939, in Warrensburg, MO, Harmon was celebrated for her gospel-soulful voice and powerful, faith-filled songs, including “The Blood Bought Church,” “I’ve Come Too Far to Look Back,” and “Nothing’s Too Big for My God.”

Over her six-decade career, Harmon recorded over 45 studio and live albums and ministered in over 4,500 churches. She mentored over a thousand young singers and musicians, shaping the next generation of gospel leaders.

She was the founder of Love Special World Outreach Ministries/Nancy Harmon Ministries/Love Special Productions. Her groundbreaking television program, The Love Special, was the longest-running syndicated music show on TBN, inspiring millions.

Her influence extended across the gospel world, with songs recorded by The Statesmen, The LeFevres, The Nelons, The Hoppers, Jimmy Swaggart, Janet Paschal, Karen Wheaton, Kenneth Copeland, and many more. Natalie Cole, the late Grammy-winning R&B icon, credited Harmon as a key spiritual influence after being inspired by her television programs.

Harmon began her ministry in 1957 at Calvary Temple in Kansas City, Missouri, and later relocated to San Jose, California, to direct the choir and continue her ministry at Faith Temple (now Cathedral of Faith) under the late Rev. Kenny Foreman, Sr. She was also a featured singer on the Gaither Homecoming videos, bringing her gospel message to audiences worldwide.

In 1984, she moved to Portland, Oregon, and founded Love’s Place, a ministry dedicated to providing foster homes and support to children in need.

In 1988, Nancy Harmon and The Love Special Singers relocated from Portland, Oregon, to Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas, establishing a central hub for her ministry. During her time in Texas, she launched her youth program, The Mighty Warriors, which brought young people from across the nation together for months of intensive ministry training. After 36 years in Texas, she made her final move to Cleveland, Tennessee.

The funeral service will be officiated by her dear friend, Bishop Tim Hill, Church of God Overseer for the State of Tennessee. Funeral arrangements for the service in Cleveland, TN. Additional details regarding the service will be announced soon.

STOWTOWN RECORDS IS THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE ICONIC BOOTH BROTHERS RECORDING

StowTown Records has announced the release of a historic recording from one of the Christian music’s most beloved artists. Through the miracle of advanced recording technology, this monumental collection unites popular Booth Brothers, Ronnie and Michael, with their father, Ron Booth, Sr., and late uncle, Charles Booth. The end result is a musical masterpiece unlike any other.

This compilation of vintage and original songs, appropriately titled Generations, celebrates the rich musical heritage of one of the most distinguishable sounds ever recorded. “Ronnie and I are so blessed by the musical heritage our dad and uncle passed along to us,” Michael shares. “Honestly, we have thought about this idea for a long time, but never knew how we would be able to make it happen. Our Uncle Charles and our dad are both heroes to Ronnie and me. As young boys, we watched them and listened to them sing with some of the leading quartets in the Gospel Music field. They were bigger than life to us, and we are so thrilled to have the privilege and opportunity to honor them in this way.”

Longtime Gospel Music lovers who had the privilege of seeing the senior Booth Brothers in action will attest to their impeccable vocal tones and masterful stage presence. The mark that they made on Ronnie and Michael is indelible and, for a number of years, they did enjoy sharing the stage with their dad, but the “seniors” and “juniors” as a foursome never had the opportunity to record together – until now.

Twenty-first century recording technology has allowed the voices of Ron and Charles, which were preserved via analog tape recordings, to be restored and brought to life, then merged with the voices of Ronnie and Michael, marking the first time the four voices have been heard together on one recording. “This was a painstaking project,” Ronnie shares, “but well worth the effort. It’s a dream come true for us and something that we will cherish forever.”

Special highlights from Generations include the Luther G. Presley classic, “In The Sweet Forever,” as well as the beloved standard “Now I Have Everything.” Another moving ballad, written by Robert Blackstock, titled “He Showed His Love To Me,” is a prolific account of the ultimate price Christ paid on Calvary, delivered as only The Booth Brothers – Michael, Ronnie, Ron and Charles – can.

Generations preserves and honors the trademark Booth Brothers harmony, showcasing multiple generations of talent and producing a timeless recording that is destined to be enjoyed for many generations to come.

StowTown Records President and CEO Landon Beene shared, “To say that our record label is excited to be bringing this one-of-a-kind recording to the public is a massive understatement. We can’t wait for listeners to experience the nostalgia and the joy of this new, yet classic, sound.”

Generations is distributed exclusively by Provident/Sony and is available on all digital platforms worldwide. 

Jordan Smith Takes Us to Church with New Single, “How Great Thou Art,” "The People’s Hymnal", with Gaither Music Group

Jordan Smith is beloved for his many gifts — the velvety expanse of his vocals; his emotive songs, one of which was recorded by Celine Dion; and his southern-gentleman humility, evident from his victory on Season 9 of The Voice a decade ago. (He remains the highest-selling artist ever to compete on the smash television talent show.) But at his core, he will always be a gospel singer.

Now the accomplished, Harlan, Kentucky native invites listeners to church with a dynamic collection of gospel standards on his first album with Gaither Music Group, The People’s Hymnal, out February 21, 2025, with its pre-order LIVE now. The record, his fifth studio album and sixth overall, comes nine years after releasing Something Beautiful, his acclaimed 2016 David Foster/Stephan Moccio co-produced, pop-leaning debut.

Ahead of the full album release next year, Smith has released today the record’s first single from The People’s Hymnal–a smoldering rendition of “How Great Thou Art.”

A creative lyric video for this masterpiece rendition, available now on digital platforms, is available here. You can stream the single here and pre-order the album here.

“I grew up in a little church in the Appalachian Mountains,” Smith writes in the record’s liner notes. “If there’s a cloth I’ve been cut from, songs like these are the thread. They are my inheritance.”

“How Great Thou Art” finds Smith singing from the heart in a slow-burn setting with a soulful band leaving ample space for him to stretch out vocally. “It set the tone for the album,” he says. “When Tommy [Sims] brought me the arrangement, I couldn’t have dreamed how great it would be — this up-tempo version with long, soaring notes.”

Smith has been praised for his octave-skipping prowess and his pitch-perfect delivery; and within this glorious, modern vintage backdrop he shines majestically. Other album standouts include “The Blood,” “Oh Happy Day,” “What a Friend Medley” and “His Eye Is on the Sparrow.”

The People’s Hymnal, out February 21, 2025, is co-produced by guitarist-producer extraordinaire Colin Linden (Lucinda Williams, the McCrary Sisters, also the primary music producer, songwriter and musician for ABC’s hit show Nashville) and Tommy Sims, who co-wrote Eric Clapton’s GRAMMY-winning song, “Change the World” and has worked with everyone from CeCe Winans to Bruce Springsteen. It is a contemporary gospel, pop-tinged album that showcases the dynamic breadth of Smith’s vocals with a collection of stirring arrangements that are familiar yet reimagined.

Smith first gained national recognition when he won season 9 of the singing competition “The Voice” in 2015. Shortly after, he made history on Billboard’s Christian Charts by being the first artist to hold the top two positions concurrently. Smith’s first album debuted at No. 2 in sales in the iTunes Store. In 2018, his song “Ashes” was recorded by his idol, Celine Dion, for the Deadpool 2 soundtrack. He has been honored by his hometown as a Kentucky Colonel and named “Kentuckian of the Year.” Recently, Smith placed third in the esteemed American Song Contest.

The Kingsmen release new volumes of Decades collection

“Where do we start with this massive historic collection?” asks legendary Southern Gospel group The Kingsmen’s Alan Kendall as they contemplate Decades Vol. 3 & 4, their new super-sized retrospective collection on Horizon Records out now. “The first compilation, Decades Vol. 1 & 2, was so well-received that we immediately delved into the archives for some more songs.”

Ranging across the decades of their storied career, Decades Vol. 3 & 4 not only presents a bountiful selection of high points in the quartet’s extensive catalog but brings the story into the present moment with the current lineup’s reworking of three treasured entries. “We’ve already been re-recording several Kingsmen classics in anticipation of our 70th anniversary with our current team of Thomas Nalley, Cole Watson, Brady Jones, and myself,” reveals Kendall. “Three of those re-cut classics — ‘Saints Will Rise,’ ‘So High,’ and ‘The Judgement’ — we decided to include on this set. We wanted to update these timeless songs in such a manner that they would be refreshing all over again in 2024, and I feel like we accomplished that.”

When Kendall calls those songs “timeless” — and the word applies to the entire set — it’s no exaggeration. As he notes, The Kingsmen are heading toward their 70th anniversary, which makes them not only a musical ministry of unparalleled longevity, but a virtual “school of Southern Gospel,” as generations of singers passed through the ranks. Decades Vol. 3 & 4 drives the point home, as it features some two dozen Kingsmen alumni, including such beloved names as original members Reece McKinney and Raymond McKinney, Eldridge Fox, Big Jim Hamill, Squire Parsons, Ed Crawford, Ernie Phillips and Johnny Parrack. Longtime fans will enjoy having their memories stirred by old favorites, while the collection serves as an indispensable introduction for newcomers — and for old and new fans alike, it includes some rarities that are sure to delight and inspire with abundant talent and unshakable faith.

“There are 39 songs in all on this set, including hits, rarities, and personal favorites selected by members of the Kingsmen,” says Kendall. “Once again, we found some more unique pieces of Kingsmen history that have never been digitally released until now. We found a studio-recorded version of ‘The Cross Has Won Again’ from 1992 that was only released to radio stations, but never to the public. Two songs from the very first albums by the Kingsmen in 1960 and 1961 are available digitally for the first time. We have included a SCALDING instrumental by Brandon Reese, Nick Succi, and Grant Barker from 2007 of ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen,’ which previously was only available for a limited time on a custom live album. And perhaps the rarest of all of them is a transcription from an appearance on the popular Bob Poole’s Gospel Favorites in 1965, complete with dialogue between host Bob Poole and longtime Kingsmen pianist Ray Talley.”

“If you love the Kingsmen and love the heritage of southern gospel music,” he concludes with humble assurance, “you will LOVE this compilation!”
