All’s Well In The Blogosphere

When I began this little corner of the internet, I was sort of riding the wave of a boom in southern gospel oriented blogs.

Besides Doug Harrison's well-known blog(the one responsible for the above-mentioned boom), there was already the blogs of David Bruce Murray(who has brought a great deal of credibility to gospel blogging and writing via his Musicscribe site), my colleagues Chris Unthank, his sister Amy, James Hales, and of course, Susan and Deon Unthank here.

There were also several others(whatever happened, for example, to Miss Elaineous?)who jumped aboard at the outset of the gospel blog boom that for one reason or other, are no longer blogging regularly. I miss those blogs...even the worst of those were always fun to read.

And in addition to those blogs, there has always been the fine reporting of fellow radio pro Chuck Peters(we radio guys gotta stick together!), who is a must-read on the web if you want the best and latest in gospel music news reporting.

And since I began my blog, our ranks have been blessed by the likes of Daniel Mount(who combines interesting commentary with fine news reporting and other features), Kyle Boreing(a gospel singer and musician with keen insights on the gospel scene), Wes Burke(another fine mind with a creative approach to blogging), Brandon Coomer(whose fine blog, Coomer's Cove, is becoming a must read for me), and the writer of Southern Gospel Perspective, whose name escapes me, but I know he's read this blog, and said nice things about it.

Another person to read is my friend Keith Waggoner, who not only sings a fine tenor for the Liberty Quartet(one of the finest up and coming quartets going), but has written some very perceptive commentary on gospel music as well. And I can't forget relative newcomers Adam Wallace and Aaron Swain, whose blogs I always enjoy perusing.

I hesitate to stop here, but my main point has been made. All of these blogs together make for interesting reading, and there is something in at least one of them for any fan of gospel music who wants to read about it online. (I only hesitate because of time limitations, and I don't want to leave anyone out[although I undoubtedly have].)

Who do I recommend? All of them...it would be unfair to pick any of these blogs as the "best"...it all depends on you, and what you want to read. As I said, there's something for any taste among all these blogs.

A lot has been said about the quality of gospel music today, but there can be no doubt that now is a great time to be a gospel fan if you like to read about it...and you have access to a computer.
