Changes for the BBs, the KHs, and MORE in this week’s episode of NewsNuggets!
The Inspirations – “Yes, I Will Be There” (1988)
With this latest release, the Inspirations scaled the instrumentation back to just piano, bass and acoustic guitar. The album had a more rustic feel, but was undeniably “Inspirations”.
News Nuggets: 12-12-25
The Palmetto State Quartet is back and much MORE in NewsNuggets!
The Inspirations – “It’s Still the Blood” (1987)
This would be Ronnie Hutchins’ only mainline release during his brief tenure with the group in the 80’s. It was a great album, with the title song becoming one of the Inspirations’ most loved tunes and one of Archie’s sugar sticks.

“Live…Naturally” was one of the greatest live albums ever made! What began as a single LP, ended up being a double album! Read all about the happenings that fall evening in October 1980…it’s all the stuff that legendary recordings are made of!
CD Review: Poet Voices – “King Jesus: A Tribute To The Gospel Music Of The Oak Ridge Boys”
Poet Voices pays homage to one of the most well-known quartets in music history.
The Kingsmen – “Ring the Bells of Freedom” (1980)
1980 was a big year for the Kingsmen…Dove Awards, Fan Awards and chart songs were normal fare for the Kingsmen by this point, and this album was a celebration of sorts, featuring the Kingsmen at their best!
The Kingsmen – “From Out of the Past” (1979)
“From Out of the Past” was a unique album that won the Kingsmen their 3rd Dove Award in 1980. It’s a fantastic album filled with cool arrangements of classic quartet tunes.
The Inspirations – “Songs of Love” (1979)
“Songs of Love” would be the Inspirations’ second release for 1979. The warm feel of the cover starkly contrasts the cold looking cover of their last album. Read all about it…

Let God Lead
Last fall, my brother received an invitation to speak in North Dakota this weekend. If you have ever been to North Dakota in the winter, you know that this is not the time of year that you really want to go there. My brother is a conference speaker and, like many of...
Throwback Review: The Masters V – Live At The Joyful Noise
I thought it might be fun to turn the clock back about 38 years and review a popular live album from that era. Hovie Lister and JD Sumner formed The Masters V in 1980. Joining them were Rosie Rozell, James Blackwood, and Jake Hess. Each man was a well-established star...
