You’ll hear why they do feel like this CD brings them “back home,” for both the music and the message. You’ll hear a classic Oak Ridge Boys Gospel song that they’ve reprised on this new CD. And you’ll get their reaction to plans by the Southern Gospel Music Association to give them a top award this fall.

And … his special Artist Spotlight guest will be Libbi Perry Stuffle of the Perrys, this time as a soloist, with songs from her new solo CD called Journey. Libbi will explain why doing this CD was something she really never wanted or planned to do — and what changed her mind. And you’ll hear a very special new song she included, written just for her, that is built on her life story, with a very personal twist.

Finally, you’ll also hear from Ronnie Booth (Booth Brothers), Gerald Wolfe (Greater Vision), and Scott Fowler (Legacy Five).
