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…
On Friday night, we had a great line up at Singing in the Sun; the Mark Trammell Quartet, Ivan Parker, the Talley’s, the Pfeifers and the Booth Brothers – it was awesome! After some congregational singing, Ray Flynn opened the night in prayer and then shared how 73 people came to know the Lord that…
It’s week two of Hidden Talent on Lynn’s Chronicles! This week we are featuring Alyssa Jolley on the Talley’s popular ballad “The Broken Ones.” I first heard Alyssa sing at the Steve Hurst School of Music and WOW – the voice Alyssa has is amazing! I hope you enjoy it!
