On the weekend of August 3^rd … Paul’s Featured Artists will be the Greenes — Tim Greene, Keith Skiles and Scott Mullins. Find out why Tim decided to bring this legendary group back as a male trio. You’ll hear songs from their new CD called Sweet Freedom, including several new songs Tim wrote. You’ll also get to meet Keith and Scott as the newer members of this group. And you’ll hear a song Tim wrote with his late brother, Tony, in mind.

Then, he’ll have an Artist Spotlight visit with the Quicks — Tim & Sally Quick and their daughter, Rebecca Greer. They’ll have songs from their new “Midnight To Morning” CD, including their new radio single, “God Can’t Help It.” Sally will explain why she went through quite a lengthy dry spell in songwriting — and why she’s back now.

Plus, Paul will announce the winner in our recent National Quartet Convention giveaway; Ernie Haase will have some breaking news about multiple videos they’ll be recording later this month; and Bryan Walker of the Perrys will explain why he will never forget this month as long as he lives.

Finally … Sunday of this coming weekend, August 4th, will be one of our occasional Listener Favorite Call-In opportunities (noon to 6 p.m. Eastern time). This is your chance to call in and record a brief introduction to your current favorite Southern Gospel song. If we use it on the air sometime during the next few months, you’ll win a valuable gift certificate from Springside.com. Click here for complete information and please plan to call

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).

Getting the Jubilee broadcast under way on the weekend of June 9^th … it’s the second of three segments of the 1981 Mount Vernon, Illinois, concert recording titled Live – Naturally! by the mighty Kingsmen . . . Ernie Phillips, Jim Hammill, Wayne Maynard, Ray Reese with Eldrige Fox joining in as well, and Anthony Burger at the piano. NOTE: Be listening for the third and final segment of this performance next weekend.

Then, come forward 10 years and head east to Thomasville, North Carolina and the stage in the Finch Auditorium. There you find the Greenes ready to sing. Makeup of the trio at the time of this recording in 1991 are Tim Greene, Tony Greene and Amy Lambert … and this recording carries the title of Carolina Live.

The Speer Family, 1980
