The Sounds To Check Out. Ten Songs That Sing Out: “That’s the Spirit!”

Benny Hester: “Be A Receiver” from Benny Hester (ND 3001)
From Benny’s Spirit debut, which has long been a radio favorite. And a clear reason why more and more people are tuning into this Waco, Texas-born performer and songwriter.
Ark: “Why” from The Angels Come (ND 3002)
From the album that seemed to come out of nowhere to win Campus Life‘s Album of the Year Award. Actually, Dave Kelly and Derek Jeffreys come from Scotland, while producer/performer Al Perkins hails from Texas.
Albrecht, Roley and Moore: “Holiday Son” from Starlighter (ND 3003)
From the album that first brought this Nashville trio national attention – and helped bring their sound to campuses and churches everywhere.
Albrecht, Roley and Moore: “Sonlight Fell On Me” from Take It To The People (ND 3004)
From the trio’s second album… the one named after the way they continue to get the message across.
Randy Matthews: “Lonely Stranger” from Randy Matthews (ND 3005)
From the long-awaited return-to-recording from one of contemporary Christian music’s most respected pioneers. Surely no stranger to an ever-increasing audience, thanks to his first for Spirit.
Paul D. Davis: “Light Shine” from Energizin’ Love (ND 3006)
From the album that sees this TV personality switch channels to a more one-to-one musical ministry. His second for Spirit, produced by Denny Corell.
Pamela Deuel Hart: “Glory Bound” from Weary Child (ND 3007)
From her fourth album, a new song that’s bound up with her life’s goal: “To share Christ with other people through my singing.” A familiar voice and face to Christians everywhere.
City Limits: “Holdin’ The Key” from City Limits (ND 3008)
From the debut album that presents one of the most promising groups in contemporary Christian music. A song sure to open many doors.
Ed Drake: “So Many Ways” from Friend Of Mine (HK 03)
From the album produced by Randy Matthews and his Grammy-winning father, Jordanaires member “Monty” Matthews. Two sides of original Ed Drake material that may remind you of Jim Croce.
Barry Woods: “River of God’s Mercy” from River Of God’s Mercy (HK 04)
The title tune from an album that’s certain to make you feel comfortable with The Lord. Flowing with good country feelings in a warm and folksy setting
