According to their latest newsletter, Tim Parton is leaving Legacy 5. Apparently his schedul is staying a bit too full with L5’s touring and his studio work, so he will be leaving the road. This presents an interesting situation for Legacy 5, as Parton filled in for Roger Bennett while Roger was sick, and slid [...]

David Murray at Musicscribe has the scoop on some interesting statements from Joel Hemphill concerning Joel’s beliefs about Christ.

One of my all time favorite albums is the one pictured to the right, Voices In Praise/Acappella from the Cathedrals. This LP and Gold City’s Acappella Gold set the standard for SG acappella albums. The arrangements from Lari Goss and performed by Talley, Payne, Trammell, Younce, and Bennett(?) are impeccable. With what I thought was [...]
