Inspirations featured on Southern Gospel Critique

Posted on: June 20th, 2011 by 1 Comment

Southern Gospel Critique recently featured the Inspirations’ brand-new release God Makes No Mistakes. Reviewer Brian Crout gave the album five stars, concluding:

…if you’ve never given the Inspirations a chance before, or you have and it didn’t stick, this is a fine opportunity to revisit them. Longtime Inspirations fans will be delighted with this new, youthful, energetic version of the sound with which they are familiar. And I think the Inspirations just might pick up a few new fans along the way.

Inspirations at Crossroads

Posted on: May 21st, 2009 by 1 Comment

This week I had the pleasure of producing the music tracks for the Inspirations new recording, along with the talented David Johnson and Tim Surrett. Martin Cook and all the boys have selected some incredible song material for this project due out in August. With new members David Ragan (lead)  and Dallas Rogers (tenor), the Inspirations begin a new chapter in a very long and successful run in bringing powerful gospel music to the masses.
