Live From Dumas, Arkansas

X X

A review of The Racy BrothersLive From Dumas, Arkansas is a great way to start the new year.  This is another CD by The Racy Brothers that deserves to be played on every gospel radio station.  Not just one or two of the songs, but the ENTIRE CD deserves to be played.

Bethlehem Worship Center, Dumas, Arkansas was the setting for this recording.  The producers were Walter Witherspoon and Dwight Gordon.  Now, just the naming of these two producers put you on notice that you are in for a great recording.  You will find great lead vocals and very tight background harmony throughout this recording.  More importantly, each song delivers a spiritual message that you can use in your daily lives.

The project opens with
Lee Williams (of Lee Williams & The Spiritual QC’s) joining the brothers on "Touch Me." This song has been recorded previously by Lee, The Racy Brothers and many others.  In spite of the previous recordings, Lee and the brothers were still able to make the recording refreshing.

"Count It As a Blessings" is another song that has been previously recorded by
The Racy Brothers.  This one of those songs that you know the group will sing at a concert.  So, it is not a surprise to see it on any Live Recording by the group.  By the way, most of the sounds on Live In Dumas have been previously recorded by the brothers.

"Hard Times" begins with an intro that leads into an awesome ballad. This song is testament to the fact that gospel quartet music never grows old. What we mean by that is, this song is just as relevant today as it was when the brothers recorded it in the 90s. Everyone will be able to relate to this so, either as a testimony to what is going on in their life or that of someone they know personally.

The project picks up with "It’s Just A Shadow."  The song is based upon the 23rd Psalm.  What a powerful message being delivered by this song. And, the placement of this song right after "Hard Times" is perfect. After all, while going through "Hard Times," it is great to know that "It’s Just A Shadow."

"Time Out" is a wonderful altar call song in the middle of the recording.  This ballad may not get a lot of radio airplay, but it is one of the best songs on this project.  This one will really minister to the listener. If you do not know our Lord and Savior, take a little "Time Out" and let
The Racy Brothers introduce you to Him.

"Racy Brothers Medley" is next. The songs making up the medley are "Lonely Journey," "Won Have To Cry," "Walk Through The Street," "Sweet Home," and "Be Ready."  Obviously, the brothers like old songs.  And, putting them in a medley is a great way to incorporate them into a concert.  You may remember they did a medley on There’s Not A Friend: Live In Little Rock.

A testimony about the tornado that came through Dumas, Arkansas on February 24, 2007, forms the basis for the song "Many Storms."  The song is actually a praise and worship song of THANKS.  Make sure you have you handkerchief available when you listen to this one.  You just might find yourself rejoicing ‘all by yourself.’

The project really picks up with "Bloodline."  This is followed by "In The Room."  And, the project closes with "Dear Lord, I’m Coming Home."
 

MCG Records is developing a solid reputation for delivering exciting gospel quartet live recordings. And, this one by The Racy Brothers is no exception.  It is sure to be in high demand.

 

On the whole this new release from The Racy Brothers is an great live recording.  We give The Racy Brothers Live From Dumas, Arkansas a solid 8.5 out of 10.  To purchase this project click "here."  Click on the title to hear “It's Just A Shadow.”
