Bluegrass and Blues: Balsam Range and Harris Brothers release live videos

Posted on: March 11th, 2011 by No Comments

Balsam Range brings another stellar performance for this second installment of videotaped shows live from the Colonial Theater in Canton, North Carolina. Their set from February 19th delivers new songs from the chart topping “Trains I Missed “release as well as crowd favorites from the groups live repertoire. Each video vault performance from the group brings you a new set of fine Bluegrass from one of the country’s finest groups.

Mark down their names—Reggie and Ryan, the Harris Brothers. Their vast repertoire is brought to life by striking sibling harmony, Reggie’s lightning-fast fingers and sultry blues licks, faithfully wed to Ryan’s from-the-gut bass guitar lines. Mix all that together, and the Harris Brothers’ music conjures up the haunting rhythms and reminisces of legendary bluesmen ranging all the way from Blind Lemon to B.B King. But it ain’t all blues, brother! These two road-savvy pickers can just as effectively pull off a Conway Twitty or a Doc Watson-type tune. Originals are also packed in that trademark Harris Brothers’ kickdrum suitcase.

The Crossroads Video Vault features footage on demand from existing live DVDs and from exclusive, professionally recorded live concert footage for rental or download. This cutting-edge innovative technology makes it easier than ever to access your favorite music and bring the venue to you.

The performances are available now here:

The McKameys release Joy in the Journey

Posted on: February 28th, 2011 by No Comments
The McKameys - Joy in the JourneyFrom the compelling cover art to the artistic excellence within, the McKameys have climbed to new heights with “Joy In the Journey.” Ten tracks—every one a ticket to truth, a passport to peace, a road-sign that points directly to Jesus, the ultimate source of the joy and love every human heart longs for and every soul needs.

Along with a musical legacy spanning several decades, numerous awards, and a record-holding 17 # 1 songs, the close-knit Tennessee family seeks first and foremost to live what they sing. Faithfulness to God is a crowning family virtue, and the members earnestly endeavor to bring their best to the Master with each recording.

The McKameys believe this album contains their greatest song collection ever, and we believe you’ll agree! So come along, settle in your seat, and savor in the sweet assurance of “Joy In the Journey!”  

It’s a major milestone on a highway already lined with impressive accomplishment!

No matter what we’re going through, there is Joy in the Journey.

Joy in the Journey releases on March 15. Be listening for the project’s first single, “When Faith Steps In,” releasing to radio soon!

  1. I Have a Great Savior (Rebecca J. Peck) – It has the timeless feel and the authority of a hymn, even though it’s a brand new song by Rebecca Peck. The McKameys’ confident delivery conveys the hope we have in Christ.
  2. Glorify the Lord in the Fire (Sandy Blythe) – Beloved matriarch Peg McKamey Bean sings of our joy in the roughest parts of the journey with the passion that comes from having walked with God in the valley before.
  3. All is Well (Sheryl Farris) – Connie Fortner leads this triumphant song about the Resurrection.
  4. Joy in the Journey (Sheryl Farris) – The joy shines through in this convention-style toe-tapper!
  5. When Faith Steps In (Leigh Parsons Sexton) – Peg and Sheryl share the joy we find in faith through our journey. This story song, written by Squire Parsons’ daughter Leigh Parsons Sexton, takes the listener through the believer’s journey—accepting Christ, everyday life, death, and then, the triumphant end of the journey—Heaven!
  6. Remember When (Sheryl Farris) – Bass singer Ruben Bean sings a wonderful song of salvation.
  7. He Gave (Barbara Huffman) – Peg reminds us of the many things God gave—headed by the greatest gift, His Son.
  8. All That Matters (Dallas Holm) – Eli Fortner offers a McKameys spin on this Dallas Holm classic, with his parents Connie and Roger, Aunt Sheryl, and grandparents Ruben and Peg singing the harmony parts. (Yes, they let Roger sing!)
  9. God Doesn’t Think Like Me (Sheryl Farris) – Sheryl wrote and leads this soaring musical challenge to set our affections on things above.
  10. I Made it By Grace (Kyla Rowland) – The McKameys excel at singing the convention style; Connie and Sheryl trade leads here to bring the album to a powerful finish.

Crossroads Unlocks Live Video Vault

Posted on: January 26th, 2011 by No Comments

At Crossroads, we’re committed to utilizing all of today’s technology to take the Greatest Story Ever Told to more people and places than ever before. We’re also geared to making things better and easier for those we serve! With that in mind, we’ve built the exclusive Crossroads Video Vault, and today we’re giving you the key!

The Crossroads Video Vault offers footage from existing live DVDs and exclusive, professionally recorded live concert footage. We’re launching the vault with two Southern Gospel and two Bluegrass titles.

The Crossroads Video Vault will initially include live versions of NQC Live Vol. 9 (2009) and Vol. 10 (2010). For the last decade, Crossroads and the National Quartet Convention have partnered to offer videos of highlights from live performances by Southern Gospel’s most popular groups. Individual songs or the complete performances can be purchased as view-only streams or downloadable files. This is the first time in the history of the series that web-based delivery is available.

The National Quartet Convention is the largest and most prestigious annual event in Southern Gospel. It was launched in 1957 by J.D. Sumner, James Blackwood, and Cecil Blackwood, in Memphis, Tennessee. Hosted in Louisville since 1993, it remains, in the words of founder J.D. Sumner, “the Granddaddy of them all.”

The Crossroads Video Vault will also initially include two live Bluegrass concerts, featuring Balsam Range and Darin & Brooke Aldridge. Both were recorded at the Winter Concert Series at the Colonial Theater on January 15, 2011, before a sell-out audience. These live concert videos are recorded direct to hard drive with three cameras and live switching. To preserve the live feel of the performances, the concerts are captured in their entirety and delivered unedited. The footage from each performance is a Crossroads Video Vault exclusive, available today for online streaming and download, here.

Balsam Range is a five-man Bluegrass supergroup from Haywood County, North Carolina. They bring a vibrant energy and diverse influences to offer a fresh Bluegrass sound in their chart-topping studio albums and engaging live concerts.

Darin and Brooke Aldridge, the Sweethearts of Bluegrass Music, front a six-piece band that is quickly rising to the top of Bluegrass music. They hail from Cherryville, North Carolina.

Future concerts in this series are expected to feature The Harris Brothers and The Boxcars.

With the launch of the Crossroads Video Vault, Crossroads is using cutting-edge innovative technology to make it easier than ever before to access your favorite music, and bring the venue to you.

So call some friends, pop some corn, and open the Crossroads Video Vault!
