Jack Campbell & the Ambassadors – “Gloryland is Not Far Away”

Jack Campbell & the Ambassadors – “Gloryland is Not Far Away”I have been holding off on this one because it just looks so promising, the front cover, the guy on the far right and then just the track listing sounds amazing. I’ve never heard any of these songs before, but here we are! The album opens with the title track of course, “It Happened with... Read More »

The Kelso Twins – “Sing of That Final Day”

The Kelso Twins – “Sing of That Final Day”Seemingly enough, sometime in the 70’s Carolyn and Marilyn Kelso walked into Redmon Records and recorded what just might be there only album?

Ron Morehead – “Reflections”

Ron Morehead – “Reflections”Ron Morehead recorded this album and released it on his own label in 1984. This album begins with the track “Grace” and he’s got a voice kind of like an Elvis impersonator, but only slightly at points. It’s definitely coming across more of a CCM album, as opposed to a traditional Gospel album. The first... Read More »

The Calvary Echoes – “What’s On Your Mind”

The Calvary Echoes – “What’s On Your Mind”We begin to new year (sorta) with The Calvary Echoes of Fort Myers, Florida on the Mission Records (of Nashville, TN.) label, but the first thing I want to address is the poor choice of color for the title of this album, the red font on the red carpet just clashes completely, and it’s very...
