Bad Moon Rising: The 2014 Platinum Vinyl Awards 4th Qtr - Gospel

Gospel Music tied with Alternative this quarter with a whopping fifteen entries into the pool, and a nice mix of new and established artists to boot. That's just the way I like things. Now things can get back to normal, though Normal is Overrated. Here's to closing out the quarter in a big way.

Gospel/R&B

• Bethany Devine - Daily Confessions
• Deitrick Haddon -The Best of Deitrick Haddon
• Shawna Harris - God Is Able
• Brent Jones - Joy Comin
• Canton Jones - God City USA
• Tasha Page Lockhart - Here Right Now
• Rachael Messini - Honestly
• VaShawn Mitchell - God My God
• Smokie Norful - Forever Yours
• Paul Porter - F.R.E.E.
• Kierra Sheard - Graceland
• Isaiah Templeton - Roll in the Dirt
• The Walls Group - Fast Forward
• Michelle Williams - Journey to Freedom
• Zie'l - Pronounced Zy-el

Rachael Messini is the former Rachael Washington of The Washington Projects with her brother Je'kob, whose latest album is in the running for PV6. I am really excited about The Walls Group. When a small group can have that choir sound, it is exciting. Haven't been this psyched about a Gospel Group since Forever Jones.

That does it for the 4th Quarter. Time to get the judging started. Until next time, I am Awaiting Your Reply.
