As promised, here is one more “Where did you get that song?” story. One day when I was on the “search” for songs for the new project for NEW WAY QUARTET and in the studio with producer Kevin Ward, he played a song for me to consider. It was a different style as sung by a mixed trio that he had recorded earlier to be used for a demo and the title was “Faith Talkin”. It was an up tempo arrangement with excellent words and a great message.
Immediately I liked it, but I was concerned about how it would sound with a male quartet. After listening to it many times in the next month, I finally asked Kevin who had written it. He told me that he was the songwriter. Wow! No doubt this helped finalize my decision that NEW WAY QUARTET should record this song. With some help from our producer/arranger, our vocal coach Dr. Wally Liles III, some awesome musicians, and special thanks for the phenomenal piano work of Jason Webb, we were very pleased with the finished product.
This exciting groovey, upbeat tempo arrangement of “Faith Talkin” is the favorite song of my 4 year old grandson, Conner. He can sing or “scream” all the words from memory and he has fun doing it! And….
Grandad loves it that he enjoys southern gospel quartet music!
Until next time, keep listening and singing!
