Allison is working on a new CD! Tentatively titled "This Old House," it is being co-produced by Johnny Minick and his son Aaron Minick. You might remember Johnny for his time singing with Howard and Vestal Goodman. He began working with The Goodmans in the 1980s playing piano, and is currently the pastor of River Of Life Church in Smyrna, TN. Johnny's sensitivity and creativity are matched only by his anointing of the Holy Spirit. We're thrilled and honored to be working with him. Aaron filled in with his dad and Vestal when Howard fell ill and is an amazing singer and musician in his own right.

In this project you'll find a couple of new songs and several old Southern Gospel classics such as "This Ole House," the Oak Ridge Boys classic "King Jesus," and Dad Speer's composition "The Dearest Friend I Ever Had." Allison says, "I've always had my roots in Southern Gospel music; I love it! This project brings me squarely back to those roots while at the same time making the music relevant for today. I don't know when I've ever been as excited about a new recording!"

With a tentative release date of August 1, we'll begin taking advance orders soon.

As some of you are already aware, Brian recently took the trip of a lifetime through the Grand Canyon on a six-day rafting trip. Dr. Gary Marr and Dwayne Vaughn of Oklahoma City accompanied him on this adventure. You can see some photos on Allison's website.
