Congratulations to Chosen Few! I love you Guys! Great Job!

My church has had the Rochesters in twice and ever since then their family is very humble and always giving God the Glory and never trying to promote themselves but promote their Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. My church is located in "Rochester, NY" so when the Rochesters came to my church it was a little ironic. Anyways the Rochesters are a great sining family and we should expect many more spirit filled and Christ Centered recordings. Cant wait to have them in again

We had the pleasure of meeting LordSong at a concert in Snead, AL and what an awesome concert it was. We were very impressed by their sincerity and also the way they handled the invitation. They did it in such a way as to be able to pray for those that came to the altar. They showed true love for the congregation and Michael encouraged our group afterward, even letting us hear part of a song he had written. I hope if you get the chance to hear them in person, especially at a church, don't pass up the opportunity!

This has been needed for a long time. I just hope some of those "knob jockeys" out there take this advice to heart. (You mean there's more to being a sound tech than this? :puh:....:puh:...Ok, it's on! LOL!)

As soon as I saw this CD on the shelf, I bought it and was delighted. I heard the Carolina Boys shortly after their decision on the name at a New Years' Concert in Charleston. Having never seen the Kingsmen live, I was amazed at this group. I love everything about this project, from the soul-stiiring words to the toe-tapping music and even to the neat newspaper-like insert cover. I can't wait for the next album.

DITTO on Brian's comments! (above)
I am absolutely thrilled about the concept of a fan-based music chart. After all, if it weren't for the fans of our music, who would be listening to it?? Shouldn't WE listen to THEM for a change? In my humble opinion, the listener's input is what ALL music charts should be based upon.
THANK YOU southerngospelnews.com for having the courage to do what others seem to be afraid of. No wonder yours is the leading web publication for gospel music! You got my vote!!

David Bruce Murray,
AMEN! No one could have said it better. God Bless you!

head tones??????? good or bad??

Parker was and is one of the best, even though that comment was rough, however he did have a bad attitude. When we are put up by God to sing we need to try and display a good attitude even when we dont feel good, mistakes do happen for we are flesh. I do dig his sound even though i personally did not care for his attitude on SEVERAL occaisions

I ATTENDED THE GOSPEL SING AT ALBANY GA, JAN 1, IT WAS GREAT. THAT WAS MY FIRST TIME SEEING THE PERRYS. YOU ARE A VERY STRONG GROUP, KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Congratulations to Karen Peck and New River on the nominations! You and your music bless so many people, in so many places. in so many ways, you could never begin to imagine. I love you I thank God for all of you, daily.

Congratulations to Scott Warren, webdesigner of 3 of the 5 websites which have been nominated. The websites of Karen Peck and New River, Jeff and Sheri Easter and The Nelons are beautiful and informative. I am very thankful that you are getting recognition for the job you have done using the talents God has given to you to help others spread the Gospel through Southern Gospel Music.

Congratulations to The Unthanks making such a wonderful 'place' as SoGospelNews.com. 'Thank You' is inadequate to express my gratitude for all you do for Southern Gospel Music and more importantly....for the spreading of the Gospel.

Congratulations to the Gaither Vocal Band on all the nominations, they deserve it. The "Everything Good" cd is very, very good. And special congratulations to Guy Penrod, he's the
best!!!!
Congratulations to all the other nominations.

I for one, greatly admire and appreciate the hard work that goes into the publishing of this online magazine. It is obvious to me that great pains are taken to uphold the integrity, not only of it's publication, but also the artists and industry. You have my utmost respect for a job well done.

Good luck Chris! You have joined aa great group.David is one of the best!

This is exciting news and quite novel that the fans will actually be able to have a say in the charting sytem for a change. Keep up the great work!

These are some great picks Deon! I imagine it was hard to pick just 10 favorite CDs.

Hello All I am the founder of A Higher Calling & We Look forward to what God has instore for us I forsee a lot of Good things for us in the future Please Pray for us Cause satan is trying to throw everything he can at us Because we are Doing What God Wants us to Thank you & God Bless

We Will Not Fail was the best album released in 2002. The Journeymen Quartet have fast become one of my favorite quartets. I wish all the best for them in 2003.

I think in a day where SOME groups are in the industry for the wrong reasons, it is refreshing to see this young group hit a grand slam with this album. I have known the members of this group for some time, and KNOW that they are focused on Christ. These guys are awesome!!!! I always say that I am pleased to see success and blessings bestowed upon those who are true to His ministry, and the Journeymen deserve all of the blessings they are receiving.

I am all ears. I look forward to helpful tips that can improve on what I can do.

Welcome to the family, Ryan! I'm looking forward to hearing MBQ's "new" sound!

I was so happy to have the opportunity to see The Down East Boys at Freedom Baptist Church in Martinsville, this past fall. They are the best group that they have ever had and I think that Jason has been a wonderful addition to the group. Everyone loves Jason! May God richly bless the Down East Boys in 2003!

Congrats to the Gaither Vocal Band on all their nominations. Also congrats to The Isaacs and The Martins. Congrats also to Joyce Martin McCollough and Sonya Isaac for their female vocalist nominations. And To Guy Penrod, David Phelps and Russ Taff on their Male Vocalist Nominations. Way To Go Guys!!!!!

John,
Great article on a fine group.

Chris, Congratulations! This comes as such a BIG suprise! I didn't see this one coming. I am so proud of you! Best of Luck. GOD BLESS & make me PROUD ( I know you will )

The new release by the Journeymen is their best yet. Their commitment to ministering through music is very evident in this anointed project. We are only seeing the beginning of how God is going to use the ministry of the Journeymen.

"Have You Talked To The Man Upstairs" is a great song!
Keep up the good work!

These are great nominations! Special congrats to the Gaither Vocal Band for all the group/individual nominations and to Mark Lowry for the website nod!

Please don't change your sound!!! I LOVE it like it is...I like the progressive sound that you have. You couldn't get better harmonies, and your songs have wonderful messages that promote the Lord and tell of His love. Keep up the great work!

The Down East Boys have visited my church on numerous occasions. Each time they have truly blessed my soul through their music. I am most familiar with Gospel music but I found their style of music to be quite nice for lack of a better word. I am looking forward to them visiting Georgia Avenue Baptist Church in Glenmont Maryland again. Keep up the good work and continue to bless hearts as you have blessed mine.

Hi! My name is Mary and I am the alto for A Higher Calling : ) I thank God for giving us this opportunity to sing His praises, and I pray that we will have many opportunities to sing His gospel, so others too may know of His Glorious Name!

Congrats Chris!!

A.A. -- God bless you!! I'm so glad to hear that you accepted Christ at one of The Martin's concerts. They truly do send out God's word through their music, and no one can tell me otherwise.

It is to my understanding that Jonathan left the group temporarily to be with his family. It will be interesting to see if he comes back... I sure hope so. I loved to see his shining, smiling face as he sang of Gods love for us.
