Ricky Atkinson and Compassion announces the departure of Scott and Tessa Thomas. After much prayer and many discussions, RAC has decided to take a different path of ministry. Due to the great demand for Ricky's solo dates and scheduling conflicts, we have all agreed it would be better if we pursued our ministry goals separately. We will remain close friends and very supportive of each other's ministries." Ricky Atkinson states," I greatly appreciate Scott and Tessa and their willingness to help me in transition in 2007, and working with me over the last 7 months. They are my friends and I truly wish them well in the future."
Joining Ricky on stage, the new line-up for Ricky Atkinson and Compassion will be Loren Harris (formerly of the Perrys and Wilburns) and Greg Cook (formerly of Tony Gore and Majesty and the Florida Boys), two of Southern Gospel Music's most individually talented singers, favorite personalities, and industry wide well known voices.
Ricky Atkinson, owner/manager of RAC states, "I am SO excited to have these two awesomely talented men join me for the RAC bookings... I don't need to go into how great they are... Most everyone who knows anything about southern gospel music, know these two guys are household names. They have their own unique style and sound, and also come with a huge radio following and exciting fan base."
Ricky adds, " I have numerous solo dates scheduled for 2008 and I am thankful God allows me to minister in a more personal environment. With the recent changes I have the opportunity to stage those major RAC dates with a tremendously powerful lineup and I am certainly blessed with two of the very best!" It is very important that RAC wants to be clear on the goals of this group and each individual situation involving these guys.
They all have first obligation and priority in their home churches as ministers of music, administrators, etc... so scheduling will be limited and very carefully observed. Family and church first, then singing is the way we feel it should be and thats the way we want it.
Booking will remain in house and can be scheduled by contacting the RAC office phones found at the website or email @ http://www.rickyatkinson.com

WOW!
As a longtime fan of RA&C;I am VERY excited to hear this new sound! Loren and Greg are extremely talented, so to have them singing alongside Ricky Atkinson, who is in my opinion, the GREATEST singer/songwriter in SGM today, will be phenomenal.
What a powerhouse group this is!! Absolutely can't wait to hear them live!! -
I can't wait to hear the new "Compassion" ...not only does this group have the greatest singer/songwriter in Southern Gospel Music today in Ricky Atkinson, but two of the most talented voices in SGM in Loren Harris and Greg Cook. I believe that this will be a most dynamic combination and am looking forward to their first project together. Way to go RICK!!!

I can't wait to hear them all together.
Keep up the great work, Ricky! -
I'm definitely a fan of Ricky Atkinson's music. Ricky's song "The Sun Will Shine Again" was so helpful to me as I was going through a very difficult time in my life. Thank God for a man who is using His life for Christ!
Loren and Greg will be wonderful as the new "Compassion". Hopefully there will be a new CD soon! Can't wait to hear the new sound! -

I really enjoy listening to RA&C;'s music. It is very inspirational. Reflecting on the words God has given Ricky Atkinson has helped to uplift my spirit many times.
I am also a fan of The Wilburns and of the Florida Boys, so I am familiar with both Loren and Greg. I feel they will be a perfect fit for the new RAC.
Excited to hear it, guys! -
Looking forward to the new sound.
I am sure it is going to be great!
