StowTown Records announces new release from The Taylors

SPECIAL STOWTOWN RECORDS

Nashville, TN – The rich musical heritage of The Taylors originally began in a small country church in North Carolina. That tradition has continued over the past two decades as Chris, Suzanne and Jonathan, collectively known as The Taylors, have consistently delivered musical excellence that has been embraced by audiences all across the country.

Their brand new Stowtown Records release, Peace, Love, Joy, follows up their 2022 Love Is The Voice recording and promises even more musical pleasure for longtime fans, as well as brand new listeners. The recording features the dynamic sibling group at their very best, lending their trademark, rich vocal harmonies to songs that contain the message of God’s goodness, grace, love and mercy.

Producer Wayne Haun said of the highly-anticipated project, “I’ve always loved the music we’ve created over the years, but there’s something about this album that makes me want to play it over and over. The collection of songs, the musicianship of some of Nashville and New York’s’ finest and, of course, the heartfelt performances of these three is simply put, perfection.”

Jonathan shared his enthusiasm about the new music, “This is my favorite album we’ve recorded so far! The songwriters we worked with really knocked it out of the park, and each song has a timely message for our listeners. Working with the best producer in the industry always gives us confidence that we’re going to have a quality project, but Wayne really outdid himself on this one. We also had an amazing team of musicians and engineers.” Suzanne added, “This album has been carefully crafted and prayed over.” Jonathan continued, “God has a way of sending us the perfect songs that we need to hear at exactly the right time in the seasons that we find ourselves in. We hope our listeners will be encouraged and uplifted, and we’re excited to see what God is going to do with this project!”

The debut single, “He Is Good To Me, is a driving, upbeat tune that shares of God’s faithfulness regardless of the difficult circumstances life may bring. It’s a message of hope that is already garnering nationwide radio airplay.

Other songs expected to be released to radio include “I Want To Hear It, a song of personal testimony and praise, penned by Rachel McCuthcheon and multi-award winning writer Rodney Griffin, and the title cut, which features Chris on lead vocals and was written by Kevin Winebarger and Wayne Haun.

The moving ballad, “God Cares, is a message of reassurance, which Jonathan delivers with bold conviction. Another message of God’s consistent care for us is delivered by Suzanne in “God Has Heard Your Cry, a powerful composition from the prolific writing team of Marcia Henry, Sue C. Smith and Rachel McCutcheon.

“We’re beyond thrilled with how this project turned out. It is our hope that as you listen, your soul will be filled with God’s peace, love and joy,” Chris expressed. This new offering from The Taylors is a wonderful musical celebration of the peace, love and joy that can only be found in a personal relationship with a loving Savior whose goodness knows no end.

The Jordan Family Band Celebrates Alex and Jayleigh’s Wedding

JEFF TURNER

The Jordan Family Band recently celebrated a joyful occasion as Alex Jordan and Jayleigh Jones tied the knot over the weekend. The couple, who met while on tour, have been eagerly awaiting this moment and are now excited to begin their journey as husband and wife.

Alex expressed the significance of this special day, sharing, “Me and Jayleigh have been looking forward to our wedding day for a super long time now. Most of you guys don’t know she’s lived in Arkansas and I live in Georgia. We met on tour and that’s how the distance is there.”

Despite the distance, their love flourished, and they knew they were destined to be together. “We just knew the distance wouldn’t last long. We just didn’t know how to bring to the table with our parents. We knew that we wanted to be married very soon,” Alex said.

Filled with excitement and anticipation for the future, Alex also admitted to feeling a mix of emotions. “So many different emotions. We’re feeling very excited, very nervous, and we’re just looking forward to moving on and starting life with each other.”

Our heartfelt congratulations go out to Alex and Jayleigh Jordan as they begin this exciting new chapter!

Anthem Edition offers a powerful testament with “Still Under His Feet”

SPECIAL: HORIZON & SONLITE RECORDS

Arden, North Carolina (September 27, 2024) — Their first single of the year is just making its way onto the Southern Gospel airplay charts, but Anthem Edition (formerly known as The Old Paths) are keeping fans happy with another release: “Still Under His Feet,” a song that offers a message of hope and resilience born of faith.

“Featuring Cameron Eden’s debut as tenor,” observes lead singer Tim Rackley, “‘Still Under His Feet’ is a powerful testament to God’s unwavering sovereignty.” And indeed, with a powerful rhythm section that surges underneath piano and guitars — including pedal steel supplied by master studio musician David Johnson — at a measured pace, the song convincingly conveys the burdens of anxiety and doubt before supplying the answer of salvation in its stirring chorus:

I’ve tried walking on water, in my own ability,
Just to find myself drowning, in a sea, of anxiety,
But just when it feels like, I’m going down, for the last time,
From out of nowhere, Jesus slips His hand in mine….

When I’m in, over my head, it’s still under His feet,
When I’m barely holding on, He’s holding me,
When waves of sorrow, are crashing over me…
When, I’m in, over my head, it’s still under His feet.

“As Cameron’s first national single and the winner of the Singing News Songwriting Contest in 2023,” Rackley notes with conviction, “This song is destined to resonate deeply with listeners and become a defining moment in Southern Gospel music.”

“Still Under His Feet” is streaming in Dolby Atmos spatial audio on Apple Music, Amazon Music and TIDAL.
