On this first weekend in February, the Jubilee features the new and the old. Leading off, the Booth Brothers sing several of their biggest hits plus a couple of other favorites in a live performance recorded in Morristown, Tennessee in December of 2011.
Then, back to 1961 and a concert hall in Chicago, the legendary Statesmen Quartet in a performance titled Through the States. Along with Hovie Lister, the group consisted of Jake Hess, Doy Ott, Rosie Rozell and “Big Chief” Wetherington.
On this weekend of January 26th … the Jubilee picks up where it left off last week, presenting the balance of that live performance by Southern Gospel’s ambassadors to the Northwest, the Liberty Quartet and their recent Live in Oro Valley concert.
Then, sit back and spend an hour-plus listening to the Whisnants … Jeff and Susan, along with Aaron Hise and pianist Eric Ollis … and the two Whisnant sons. This 2010 concert, which was recorded in the Victory Baptist Church in North Augusta, South Carolina, also includes the church’s choir on several selections.
Tony Gore & Majesty lead off the Jubilee on this January 19th weekend … a concert from 1995 recorded at the Peach Festival in Alabama and released on a CD titled All Access Live. Majesty at the time consisted of John Lanier and Calvin Thornton.
To round out the evening … listen to the Liberty Quartet in concert, as recorded in the Oro Valley Church of the Nazarene in Tucson, Arizona. You’ll hear the first portion of this performance this weekend, with the balance leading off next week’s Jubilee.
On this weekend of January 12th, the Jubilee picks up from last week, returning to the Municipal Auditorium in Long Beach, California … the year is 19-63 as you go On Stage with the Blackwood Brothers. The group at that time consisted of Cecil Blackwood, J.D. Sumner, Bill Shaw, James Blackwood and Wally Varner.
Then, it’s full throttle back to the present … actually 2011 to be exact, for the Talleys. Yes, the Talley Trio and their hour-long concert titled He’s Alive. If you’d like to see as well as hear this performance, it’s available on both DVD and CD.
For the weekend of January 5th … the Jubilee brings you a full hour of solid traditional Southern Gospel music featuring the Primitive Quartet. It’s their 2006 Live in Ashland, Kentucky performance that’s available on both CD and DVD.
As the broadcast continues … you zip to the West Coast of America and the Municipal Auditorium in Long Beach, California … to listen to the first half of On Stage with the Blackwood Brothers! Yes, it’s historic Blackwood Brothers from 1963.
