Hidden Gems: Gold City – “A Little Down Payment”
Posted in Hidden Gems, Southern Gospel on April 28, 2008 | 6 Comments »
This song came off of the 1997 effort from Gold City, What A Great Lifestyle. This is an upbeat, traditional song penned by Squire Parsons. Good group vocals on the first verse and chorus with the melody in Trammell’s baritone line, then a key change and the melody switches to Jonathan Wilburn on the second [...]
Monument Quartet Changes

I went to Monument’s website today and noticed that they have not only a new bass singer (I guess Mike Allen is finished filling in) but it appears they have a new lead singer as well. Looks like it’s out with John Tidwell and in with Daryl Williams. Either that or it’s someone [...]

A report on the SN forums states that Zack Swain was playing piano for the Kingsmen, officially as a “fill-in”, but poster DJS is hoping that Swain stays on. I’m not familiar with Zack or his playing, but he impressed long-time Kingsmen fan DJS. It is heartening to see that the Kingsmen are [...]

Brandon over at Coomer Cove has the scoop from the SN forums on Gold City’s upcoming CD. I too am interested in hearing Gold City’s take on the Imperials’ “Bread Upon The Water”, as I thought the GVB had an incredible version of it on Give It Away. The GVB version [...]
The Collingsworth Family

Late last week I caught the TV version of the new Gaither video, Rock Of Ages. The special concluded with The Collingsworth Family singing “May The Good Lord Bless And Keep You” acappella. I’ve heard a lot about the group, but never actually heard them. If what I heard on that video is an accurate [...]
