Texas Gospel Canada has been airing “best of” versions of Alan Cook’s Gospel Harmonies programs for a few weeks.  We wanted to let listeners know the reason.

Alan Cook is dealing with serious back trouble. He has been in the hospital since January 12. A post to his website asks listeners to keep him in your prayers.

Alan has produced the program for more than 40 years spotlighting the very best in current releases and classics spanning the past six decades. We hope he recovers soon and look forward to new programs soon on Texas Gospel Canada.

The first radio single, ‘Jesus Can,’ is playing at Southern Gospel radio now.

Based out of Virginia, Toby and Christi Siler have enjoyed a long history of singing within Southern Gospel music. Once their twins, Jarrod & Jewel, began to demonstrate a love and talent for the music themselves, the family set out to fulfill the Lord’s calling on their lives together. The family group were the winners of the Pursuit 2020 online talent contest, and have been featured on numerous Gospel music events across the country.
