Celebrating the start of the National Quartet Convention in Louisville, KY, all of the songs on the edition for the weekend of September 8th are sung by male quartets. Please join Paul as he celebrates quartets — where Southern Gospel music got its start.

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.

Plus, his Artist Spotlight guests will be the Songfellows, another legendary quartet founded back in 1954 in California and now based in Nashville. They’re all long-time singers and names you know: Bob Jones, Jr., Ed Hill, Rick Strickland and Brad Smith. Listen as they bring back some classic Southern Gospel quartet songs — plus a new one.

Finally … others you’ll hear from include Ray Reese (Kingsmen), Tim Duncan (Canton Junction), and Stuart Carey (Down East Boys).
