The year is 2002 … the location is the First Baptist Church of Atlanta, Georgia, where one of Southern Gospel’s favorite trios is ready to sing. Yes, it’s Gerald, Rodney and Jason … Greater Vision!

To finish up the evening, you’ll step back another six years to 1996. The location is the Civic Center in Fort Smith, Arkansas, where Carroll McGruder and the McGruders are ready to sing . . . as heard on their Plugged In Live CD. This evening the Jubilee presents the first half of this Spirit-filled concert, with the balance of the performance to be heard a few weeks down the road.

Paul’s Featured Artists on the program for the weekend of July 21^st are the Greenes. Headed by Tim Greene, this trio’s other members are Keith Skiles and Jason Gordon. You’ll hear four songs from their just-being-released CD entitled We Need America Again, including that title song. You’ll hear a Greenes classic they’ve brought back, Jesus’ Rocking Chair. Listen, too, for two encouraging new songs, I Will Hold You and Funeral For A Sparrow. You’ll find out what the Greenes are doing these days and why the “Tim Greene Trio” reverted to the original “Greenes” name.

And, Paul’s Artist Spotlight guests will be the Statler Brothers — Harold and Don Reid, Jimmy Fortune and Phil Balsley. Although officially retired as a group, you’ll enjoy hearing why Southern Gospel music has always been a big part of what they do. Harold will have a funny story about how they managed to get on stage when they were just a teenaged Gospel quartet. And you’ll hear three Gospel songs in the distinctive Statler Brothers style.

Finally … Rodney Griffin of Greater Vision writes many of that trio’s songs, but also writes many songs for other groups. Some of those songs have become big hits for those other artists. Now Greater Vision has recorded a CD entirely of songs Rodney wrote that other groups have made hits. That’s why they called it, The Ones That Got Away. You’ll hear Rodney talk about doing this and about a few of the songs they chose to include. You’ll also hear four of the songs (two on each hour).
