After deciding which DVD I wanted to review next, I sat down on the couch, popped in the round disc of the Talley’s and watched this family pour out their hearts on their 2011 video release, He’s Alive. From an old quartet song to a hymn, radio hits and some of their most popular songs…
CD Review: 4 Strings – Michaela Brown

CD Review: Hymns You Asked For – Gerald Wolfe
You won’t often find a vocalist releasing a piano solo CD…unless you’re multi-talented Gerald Wolfe – singer, songwriter, pianist, producer and arranger. In 2011, Gerald released his third piano solo project – Hymns You Asked For. After an online survey, Wolfe took the top 21 requested hymns into the studio and composed eight…
DVD Review: The Anniversary Celebration – Greater Vision
Always ready to tell a story, Gerald Wolfe recalled the first time Greater Vision stood on a stage together as a trio. It was a tiny Christian Church in Grassy Creek, Kentucky on a Sunday Morning, and there, GV sang their first song together – Jesus Is Here. Twenty years later, Gerald stood…
CD Review: Reach Out – Karen Peck and New River
Reach Out isn’t just the title to Karen Peck and New Rivers 2011 release – the concept of “reaching out” consumes the whole recording, both inside and out. The cover itself is a collection of photos: a cross, a world map, small children, scripture and of course, KPNR. When you open the CD insert, it’s…
CD Review: Why Can’t We? – The Isaacs
When the Isaacs release a new CD – you know that it’s going to be top of the line. “Why Can’t We” is no exception. It brings you what you want to hear from this family group, and much, much more! This project boasts 13 tracks – 10 of which, were written by group members…
CD Review: Songs From the Heart – Triumphant Quartet
Songs From The Heart was released by Triumphant Quartet in 2011 and is described by pianist Jeff Stice as one of their, “silly ideas.” What he means by that statement is that this project is special in it’s origin because each member of Triumphant Quartet wrote two songs on the recording! To me, this idea…
Rise Up: Part Two – Conference Quote-Book
On Facebook I began posting random little quotes from the speakers at the Rise Up Bible Conference in Charlotte, North Carolina. I thought it would be a good idea to organize and offer them all in one place as well. (Quotes will be listed in alphabetical order by the speaker’s last name.) So without further…
