SPECIAL CROSSROADS RECORDS

Arden, North Carolina (November 17, 2023) — When the newest lineup of Horizon Records’ The Inspirations released their first studio album together last spring, lead singer Roland Kesterson was quick to note that “we don’t do what everyone else does. We have tried to pioneer a new way by paying tribute to our old way.” In the case of A Pioneer Legacy, that meant a preponderance of old favorites, as the latest version of the Southern Gospel stalwarts acknowledged the tradition in which they were taking their place. That salute continued with this April’s Ageless Treasures and the powerful September release, The Inspirations Reunion LIVE.

Now the quartet — which just took home honors from the Singing News Fan Awards for A Pioneer Legacy (Favorite Album), tenor Isaac Moore (Favorite Young Artist) and Favorite Artist — face the future with a confidence born of solid faith and an abundance of talent, as they release “Come To The Well,” the first single from their forthcoming, all new 2024 album, The Legacy Continues. Infusing the classic sound of The Inspirations as it has been refined for nearly 60 years with the youthful spirit and energy of Kesterson, Moore, Wyatt Austin (bass, and the recipient of the Singing News’ Favorite Young Artist award in 2022) and Luke Vaught (baritone), “Come To The Well” more than fulfills the promise of the album’s title.  

“We are always looking for great songs,” notes Kesterson, “And we love to go back to writers who have written great songs for the group in the past. Ronnie Hinson is one of those writers, having written the group’s mega-hit, ‘God Is Still On The Throne’ and others. When Ronnie brought us this song, we were all very excited. Wyatt told Ronnie he wanted a song that featured him, much like the song we sing, ‘He Made A Way’ — and Bro. Hinson delivered!

“The song tells about the woman who came to the well and met the Master who can give living water so that we never thirst again. The gospel is presented perfectly, we feel, in this brand new song that has that same old sound that we love so much. We hope you enjoy ‘Come To The Well’!”
