The group plans to maintain a limited touring schedule to accommodate Ronnie Booth’s desire to spend time with his grandchildren, Michael Booth said.

Jim Brady, who had been performing with the group, is not leaving but is pursuing other commitments, according to Michael. Brady and his wife Melissa are maintaining a full performance schedule, and Brady serves on the board of the National Quartet Convention. He is also touring internationally with Gerald Wolfe and the Hymnsing Singers.

Michael Booth said he will focus more on solo performances as the group enters a new season. The trio previously toured extensively, performing 150 to 160 dates annually.

The Booth Brothers have received numerous industry honors throughout their career, including Grammy nominations, Dove Awards and Singing News Fan Awards. The group has produced multiple chart-topping songs in Southern Gospel.

Iconic Booth Brothers Release New Album Celebrating Gospel Heritage

StowTown Records has announced a new album from one of Southern Gospel’s most loved groups, The Booth Brothers. This special recording, called Generations, brings together current members Ronnie and Michael Booth with their father, Ron Booth, Sr., and their late uncle, Charles Booth, thanks to the power of modern recording technology. The result is a unique collection of songs that showcases a rich family legacy in Gospel music.

Ronnie and Michael Booth have long been inspired by their father and uncle. “Ronnie and I are so blessed by the musical heritage our dad and uncle passed along to us,” said Michael Booth. He mentioned that this project has been a dream for a long time, and they are thrilled to make it a reality. When they were young, Ronnie and Michael looked up to their father and uncle, who were influential figures in Gospel music. The two younger Booths grew up watching them perform with some of the best quartets in the field.

For fans who remember the original Booth Brothers, Ron and Charles were known for their clear voices and incredible stage presence. Although Ronnie and Michael had the chance to sing with their father over the years, the chance to record with both the senior Booth Brothers was not possible until now.

With the help of 21st-century technology, the voices of Ron and Charles Booth have been carefully restored from old analog recordings. These were then blended with Ronnie and Michael’s current voices, making it possible for all four Booths to sing together for the first time. “This was a painstaking project,” shared Ronnie Booth, “but well worth the effort. It’s a dream come true for us and something that we will cherish forever.”

The new album includes well-loved Gospel classics, such as “In The Sweet Forever” and “Now I Have Everything.” It also features an emotional ballad called “He Showed His Love To Me,” written by Robert Blackstock. The song reflects on Christ’s sacrifice at Calvary, delivered in the signature Booth Brothers style.

Generations showcases the classic Booth Brothers harmony while highlighting the legacy of Gospel music within their family. It promises to be a recording that will be enjoyed by fans for years to come. StowTown Records President and CEO, Landon Beene, expressed his excitement, saying, “To say that our record label is excited to be bringing this one-of-a-kind recording to the public is a massive understatement. We can’t wait for listeners to experience the nostalgia and the joy of this new, yet classic, sound.”

The album is available on all digital platforms worldwide and is distributed exclusively by Provident/Sony. For Gospel music fans, Generations is a chance to hear the familiar Booth Brothers harmony in a fresh and meaningful way, celebrating a history of faith and song that spans decades.

Track List

  • In The Sweet Forever
  • Now I Have Everything

  • Through It All

This album is a reminder of how Gospel music can connect generations, honoring the past while bringing joy to the present.

Michael Booth on the Message Behind The Booth Brothers’ Latest Song, “Keep Turning Your Eyes On Jesus”

The Booth Brothers’ latest release, “Keep Turning Your Eyes On Jesus,” is a powerful reminder of faith and perseverance. The song, written by Jim Brady, Dave Clark, and Don Cook, carries a message that Michael Booth deeply resonates with.

Booth shared some insight into the song’s creation, highlighting the significance of its simple yet profound message. “Keep turning your eyes on Jesus. Jim Brady, Dave Clark, and I believe Don Cook wrote that together. It was one of their only times they got together and wrote some songs, big writers, and I love it,” Booth said.

For Booth, the song embodies the essence of Southern gospel music, which often focuses on delivering simple truths in a relatable way. “So much of Southern gospel is simple truth, but simple is profound,” he explained. “It’s again packaged in a joyful happy way just to remind us the constant walk with Christ is keeping our eyes on him.”

With its uplifting melody and encouraging message, “Keep Turning Your Eyes On Jesus” serves as a beautiful reminder to remain steadfast in faith, no matter the circumstances.
