Singing Liberty’s praises

Well, it was fun to take a brief break from gospel music and discuss college football. I want to thank Wes Burke and Sharon Brown for sharing their thoughts about how to make college football better.

Getting back to gospel music, I must salute my friend and fellow blogger Daniel Mount for beating me to the punch.

A month and a half ago, I received the newest CD from the Liberty Quartet from Boise, ID. I have written much about Liberty in this little corner of the web, observing that they are among the West's leading gospel groups, and most likely the best male quartet this side of the Mississippi.

I had meant to review the CD in this space some time ago, but life and my own foot-dragging prevented me from posting anything about the album.

Today, however, Daniel reviewed the CD at his very fine blog. And since I don't think I could summarize my thoughts on the CD any better than he did, I urge you all to go to southerngospelblog.com and check out Daniel's very well-written review.

I am heartened to see this.

For I feel that all the Liberty Quartet needs to gain much-deserved national recognition is for people like Daniel and me to spread the world in our own circles as to how good this talented, dedicated quartet is. And Daniel indeed does that in his review,

Keith Waggoner, Dan Gilbert, Doran Ritchey, and Royce Mitchell make up one of the most musically accomplished gospel quartets in the country...and only their dedication to the cause of Christ is greater than their commitment to excellence as a gospel quartet.

I have seen them several times in person, and have gotten the opportunity to get to know Keith and Royce in particular as people. They have my highest recommendation if you want to know of a gospel quartet that is truly good, both onstage and off.,

So-called "southern" gospel music is not, and never has been, strictly limited to the American South. And the excellence of the Liberty Quartet is further evidence that good gospel quartet music can come from anywhere.

I am proud to have the Liberty Quartet based in my half of the United States, carrying the banner of great gospel quartet music wherever they go.

Read Daniel's review, and check out the Liberty Quartet for yourself...you'll see what I mean.
