Deon's Weekly Radio Picks

* By Faith – “Even So Come”

We’ll start with my “Sleeper of the week”. This group is not a household name yet, but with the recent personnel change, their sound will soon be attracting a lot of attention. After you’ve played six fast songs and you need to slow the tempo down a bit, this is a beautiful song with very tight harmony. Give your listeners a treat, but playing this up and coming group. Radio Airplay Promotions – May 2003 – cut # 6

* The Redeemed – “Just On The Other Side”

Here’s an upbeat tune with a bit of a country feel to it. Good harmony and a nice track that includes some good fiddles make this a nice change from all the quartets that get played. The message is one of jubilation. I think your listeners will enjoy this cut. Lighthouse Promotions – Volume # 28 – Cut # 1

* Hoskins Family – “When The Savior Wipes The Tears From My Eyes”

The only thing wrong with this song is that it has a very long title. Once you have announced it though, your audience is sure to get a blessing from listening to this cut. The message is full of encouragement, and Angie’s interpretation is full of feeling and expression. Watch for this one to climb the charts. Daywind Radio Disc – Volume # 49 – cut # 5

* CrossWay – “Prayin’ For Deliverance”

OK, I’ve been telling you to play all these songs after all the quartets, but we better include some good ole quartet music for you to play. This is a “good- un”. This medium tempo song will fit right into drive time either in the morning or evening. This is another song that should see some chart action. Spring Hill Music Group – Volume # 2 / 2003 – cut # 1

CD Reviews

LordSong - Refuse to Be Afraid
Label - Daywind Records
Produced by Wayne Haun
Executive Producer: Dottie Leonard Miller

After having two well recieved albums and a splendid a capella project, LordSong is back with Refuse to Be Afraid, their fourth project for Daywind Records. Never being a group to be held back by industry demands or genre boundaries, LordSong once again has created an album chock full of songs that feed the spirit and delight the ears. Rating: 5 Stars

Kingdom Heirs - “Going On With The Song”
Produced by Jeff Collins
Recorded at Crossroads Studios, Arden, SC
Sonlite Label

There may have been some personnel changes in this dynamic group, but you sure can’t tell it by listening. This is as good a group of Kingdom Heirs as I have ever heard. There seems to already be a chemistry between the vocalists on this group that causes them to mesh. Rating: 5 Stars

Kim Hopper – Imagine
Spring Hill Records

Fresh on the heels of the likes of Lauren Talley, Misty Freeman, and Taranda Greene, Kim Hopper is the latest to come out with a disc all her own. On this Spring Hill Records release, Hopper takes on other genres as well as her traditional Southern Gospel stylings. Rating: 4 1/2 Stars
