And … Paul’s Featured Artists on this program will be the legendary Inspirations from Bryson City, North Carolina — one of America’s leading Gospel quartets since at least the 1970s. Songs will be from their current CD entitled It’s In The Savior’s Hands. You’ll find out how this CD is a bit different from most previous Inspirations recordings, and why they re-recorded several songs the Inspirations have previously recorded over the years.
