Ernie Haase & Signature Sound has released a brand new recording, which takes the popular quartet and fans back to the vintage quartet stylings which were popularized by the legendary quartets of the 1950s. The recording captures the simplicity of four-part harmony.

“We have been greatly influenced by the rich heritage of Gospel Music,” Signature Sound leader Ernie Haase states. “We wanted to pay tribute to the singers and songwriters who started this journey that we continue to travel. On this recording, we used players who were very intimate with the art form and recorded with vintage amps, guitars and an upright bass. We even sang and recorded the vocals like the groups did back in the 50s, on two microphones, with no multi-tracking. Our desire is to make sure names like Jake, Hovie and Chief never die. We hope their legacy lives on through this recording.”

Influenced will not be distributed to retail and is not available on the group’s website. The recording is only available for sale at the Signature Sound summer tour dates, which include 20 stops during June, July and the first part of August. A complete list of Tour dates, as well as soundclips from the new recording are available online at http://www.erniesigsound.com .

Influenced will be featured this week on the Gospel Greats Radio Program, hosted by Paul Heil. To obtain complete information about The Gospel Greats, visit http://www.thegospelgreats.com .

"me"..no offense, but I'm pretty sure the Dan Keeton Quartet is not even on the radar of EHSSQ. Groups have been naming CD's the same for years. When you start using words like "Encore", "Classics", "Influenced" you'll start repeating album titles.

This is not like a typical studio album. This album was recorded to be like an old 40's or 50's radio show. I have a copy of it and love it. It will probably be one of the best recordings released all year. This is just meant to be a table project and it's quality is that of a high dollar studio project.
