This month we
take a close look at the new CD by
Second Chance.
Second Chance
hales from Omaha, Nebraska. Yes, there are good gospel quartet groups in
Nebraska. And,
Second Chance
is proof that quartet gospel is alive and well in Nebraska.
This group has been singing good quartet gospel music since 2001. The members of
the group are Courtney Jackson , Sherwin Hattix , Barry Williams, Tronell Hattix,
& Tommy Jackson, James White, Aaron Moment, & Jessie Wallace.
There are a few groups in quartet gospel that really recognize the benefit of
positive self-promotion.
Second Chance
is one such group. They will keep you abreast of what is happening with the
group. They will immediately inform you of milestones accomplished by the group.
Courtney Jackson of
Second Chance
ensures that the group name, music and activities are always before the public.
That is one reason we are excited about reviewing their new CD.
This is the group’s sophomore project. In 2004, they released the well received
CD titled Judge Not. Their Judge Not CD was
described as delivering a “blend of contemporary and quartet and with a little
old school seasoning.” The same can be said of the new CD.
Get Right is a continuation of the great music presented with
their first CD. In fact, four of the songs from their freshmen project are on
the new CD, “Jesus Is My Friend,” “Judge Not,” “Let’s
Praise The Lord,” and “Ready.”
With fourteen songs on the new CD, there is a good mix of new material. Songs
like “Smoothing,” “It’s Alright,” “When I Rose,”
and “God Wouldn’t Let Him” are sure to get the attention of Radio
Angels across the country.
The guys have also called upon several guest artists for this project.
From
The Williams Singers
of Indianapolis, Indiana, there is Darnell Williams on “It's Alright”
and “God Wouldn't Let Him.” From the
Jones Family Singers
from Texas, there is Alexis Jones-Roberts on “Jesus Is My Friend.”
There is Pastor Dr. Leroy E. Adams, Jr. on “Please Lead Me” and “Wait
On Jesus.” And, John Colbert shares lead duties on “Pray On.”
The other song on the project is "He's There." Like all of
the songs on this project, there is a message that will minister to you.
However, "He’s There" sums up the message of the entire project.
Just listen to the words to the song. “Don’t you worry, don’t you fret, he’ll
be right there, don’t be afraid, don’t be dismayed, he’ll make away” – after
all God is always with us. He’s There!
No matter what your musical taste in
quartet gospel is, there is a song on this project for you. The guys masterfully
showcase their ability to handle ballads, upbeat tempo songs and even the
‘drive’ songs. In fact, there are songs on this project that choir directors may
introduce to their choir. Listen closely to "God Wouldn’t Let Him."
Can’t you just envision a choir singing this song? The background arrangement is
just right for a choir.
Overall this is a very good project by
Second Chance. You should be able to find
this CD in your local record store. We give
Second Chance’
Get Right a 9 out of 10. Click

Wouldn't Let Him." |
