Phil Tarver Set To Release Album May 18

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 10:00:00 +0000

Kingdom Records is set to release Phil Tarver's 3rd U.S. solo project entitled PLACE OF WORSHIP, on May 18, 2010.

PLACE OF WORSHIP was recorded live at Valley Kingdom Ministries International in Oak Forest, IL this past February. With a stellar band and full-throttle backing vocalists (including a cameo by label mate Tonya Baker), Tarver performed over a dozen original paeans that stylistically ranged from smooth jazzy ballads and Caribbean rhythms to pulsating funk-rock vamps that Tarver said were for the head-bangers.

Lucinda Moore's New Album In Stores April 20th

On her forthcoming CD Blessed, Broken & Given (Tyscot Records), gospel vocalist Lucinda Moore uses the pain of her past to craft fifteen songs to not only please ears, but to also heal souls. The first single “Blessed, Broken & Given” is building momentum at various radio formats. “This is my testimony of what God did for me,” Moore says of the inspiring ballad. “He’s blessed me with a voice but He had to break some things in me in order for me to be given to the nation.“

In the past, Moore battled childhood abuse; depression over her father’s death, and a sixteen-year marriage to someone she says “never loved me.” However, Moore’s faith was a comfort in the hard times. As she was preparing for the live recording of the new project at Atlanta’s Elizabeth Baptist Church, she was dealing with a rough patch. “I was going through a divorce,” she says. “Emotionally I was a wreck.” She dug into her faith and wrote the CD’s dramatic title song to encourage others. “I’m doing it to help other people come out of what they are coming out of,” she explains. “You don’t have to be unhappy and sit in abuse… This is the happiest time of my adult life.”

Moore is spreading this message of hope to others who have been scarred. A portion of CD sales profits will benefit a North Carolina women’s organization called Impact that aides abused women in getting back on their feet. Moore is also seeking to help others through her first “Blessed, Broken & Given” conference that will feature guest speakers Bishop Noel Jones, Bishop Tudor Bismark and psalmist Judy Jacobs. The conference takes place April 22-24, 2010 at the Wake Chapel church located at 3805 Tarheel Road, Raleigh, NC 27604. Services begin at 7 p.m. each night except Saturday when service begins at 12 p.m. Register online at www.lucindamoore.com or call (203) 887-1660 for more information. Visit www.tyscot.com for more information about the CD and the live recording DVD that will be sold separately.

Time Life’s latest gospel release proves that traditional black gospel music is making a big comeback. The new single-disc retail version of the hugely successful double-disc version , Shoutin’ Down the Aisles, has debuted at #8 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums chart.

One of the fan favorites on the 14-song collection has turned out to be former child gospel star Bryan Wilson’s old school track, “If You’re Talking About Jesus.” The song is a stylistic blend of Pentecostal, New Orleans and Low Country South Carolina musical rhythms that Wilson started calling Bapolstogic music a decade ago. It’s a taste of what’s to come on his forthcoming CD “The Bapolstogia Begins…” Keep up with Bryan at his website www.bryanwilson.com

Shoutin’ Down the Aisles opens with Vickie Winans’ 1997 smash “As Long As I Got King Jesus.” Then, it continues to rock with up-tempo favorites as Fred Hammond’s “Jesus Be a Fence Around Me”, the Chicago Mass Choir’s “Holy Ghost Power” with Lemmie Battles, Jimmy Hick’s “Born Blessed”, Shirley Caesar & Tonex’s “I Know the Truth”, and Keith Wonderboy Johnson’s “Let and Let God.”
