If you are wondering, who is the Cavaliers Quartet, then take a few minutes and you will see what we are all about as well as why we do what we do.

The Cavaliers Qt. started in 1993 with two brothers, Anthony and Wayne O'Neal. ( i think we are 54th cousins twice removed-of Ed O'Neal of the Dixie Melody Boys-ha ha). Over the past 15 years our group has consistantly had outstanding singers come though with very little turnover. Our first line up stayed together for over ten years and our current line up has been together going on three years. Speaking of our current line up, let's meet two of them.

Ben Mullins is our tenor singer. He has one of the smoothest all natural tenor voices in the industry. The cool thing about Ben is he did not know he could do this until about 3 years ago. He was sitting in the back of his home church and a lady in the choir told him she could hear him singing from the choir loft. "You need to be in the choir" she said. After asking and begging, Ben finally gave in and said "OK I will sing in the choir....but I will not sing any SOLO's. Now to hear Ben belt out old standards like "Oh What a Savior" and new songs like "Jesus Saved my Soul", I for one am glad that he is singing solos!!! Ben has a heart for seeing souls brought into the Kingdom, that is for sure.

Jason Reese fills out the sound of the Cavaliers Qt with his strong lead voice. Jason is Ben's nephew. He has been with the group for around 3 years also. He started singing, you guessed it, in his home church. He too has a strong lead voice with a wide range as well as style. He is the youngest in the group. He is a graduate of Middle Tenn. State University. There is no doubt that Jason does this for the glory of God and not any glory for himself. This is the first traveling ministry that Jason and Ben have been a part of.

We are all from the Shelbyville Tennessee area, about 70 miles south of Nashville Tn. That makes it very convenient when we do our recording for Song Garden Music Group-Garden Creek. We sing all over the Southeast as well as right here in Middle Tennessee. We would love to hear from you all and we would love to meet you so go to http://www.cavaliersquartet.com and email us about anything you want to know about us. Keep looking for us here at sogospelnews.com for more about the other two guys, you know, the 54th cousins twice removed of Ed O'Neal.

In His Arms!!

I love listening to and discovering great new talent. The Cavaliers Quartet from Shelbyville, Tennessee is one of those rare finds. The potential is definitely there, and this will be a fun group to watch and see what happens down the road. They have a good, solid sound that is pleasing to the ear and they have a good mix of new and old songs and nice arrangements that allow them to show a bit of versatility as well.

The recording starts out with a great classic quartet number, "WHEN I CROSS TO THE OTHER SIDE OF JORDAN" and the song really fits the group well. In fact, half recording is filled with classic tunes such as "AFTER AWHILE", "THE LIGHTHOUSE", "THEN I MET THE MASTER" and "BEULAH LAND". Though not considered a classic, "I'M GOIN' THROUGH" is a song penned by producer, David Staton and was recorded by the Greenes several years ago.

There are several new tunes presented here and their current single, "JESUS SAVED MY SOUL" is about as Southern Gospel as they come and is a highly enjoyable song that has done quite well for the guys so far. "KEEP DRINKING WATER FROM THE WELL" is another fantastic uptempo song that the group shines on. On the flipside, "HOLY SPIRIT FILL THIS PLACE" is a worshipful ballad that the guys do equally as well as the previous uptempo tunes. Vocally, it's one of the strongest songs on the recording. "EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW" is a power ballad that the guys do well on and is a highlight of the recording.

These guys show some great potential and there truly are some moments of subtle brilliance here. There are a few issues worth mentioning such as pitch in a few places and sometimes they try to sing outside their scope of ability, but with the right guidance and time, they will really showcase their strong points and hone in on those things that need polishing.
