Kurt Carr & The Kurt Carr Singers- Church Roots

New York, NY (ChristianPRgroup) - Internationally renowned and celebrated, Kurt Carr is one of the brightest jewels in the crown of Gospel music. He has penned numerous #1 songs, including the ubiquitous “In the Sanctuary” - which has been translated into nine different languages, re-recorded by 20 different acts and is a Sunday morning favorite at churches around the globe. Since his 2005 release One Church, Carr has helmed numerous projects including I Never Lost My Praise, the critically acclaimed “comeback” CD for the legendary Tramaine Hawkins; and Bishop Paul Morton’s powerful “Still Standing.” On October 28, with the release of his 7th CD JUST THE BEGINNING, Kurt Carr & The Kurt Carr singers reunite to deliver a powerful opus of good ‘ole church music with Carr’s trademark cross- generational, cross-cultural appeal.

“The last album was a thematic album; it was a stretch,” says Carr. “We had bagpipes, accordion– sounds that have never been associated with Gospel music,” Carr says. “The songs on Just The Beginning are very singer-friendly, very congregational. This time, I’m going back to my roots.”

JUST THE BEGINNING offers Carr’s unique brand of Sunday-morning liturgies and soaring choir-friendly melodies. The first single “Peace & Favor Rest On Us” is a clarion call that points listeners to the essence of life in Christ. The song is destined to be an enduring classic. Another high energy track is “Don’t Let Your Light Go Out,” which is preceded by a musical treat from 89-year-old Narcissus Hinton-Brown, a traditional soloist from Carr’s hometown in Hartford, Connecticut and one of his mentors. “As a kid, she was a star soloist at my church,” says Carr. I didn’t start going to church until I was 15 and God used people like Narcissus to inspire me in my musical journey. I just always wanted to do something special for her because she never received great national acclaim, yet she remained steadfast and faithful to her calling.

“I feel like this CD is for people like Narcissus because people need to be reminded that age nor circumstance matter when it comes to God’s blessings. God also touched my heart to take her to the White House, and she tore that place up! So no one should ever stop believing God has great things in store for them.”

“Psalm 23 — I Don’t Have To Want For Anything” features Kurt Carr and the dynamic vocals of contemporary christian vocal group Avalon. It is a pure praise and worship song that musically interprets one of the most well known scriptures in the bible. “Right Time, Right Place” is at once rousing and reassuring and beautifully demonstrates Carr’s penchant for complex, neo-classical arrangements, while “Spiritual Makeover Extreme” is powerful with its never ending hook declaring ‘I don’t look like what I’ve been through.’

“This CD represents the beginnings of many new horizons for me,” says Carr. “New adventures, new business relationships, I’m excited about what the Lord has in store.

“More importantly, God has called me to preserve and perpetuate the music of the church so that there’s substance to feed seasoned saints, and new converts once we catch them. That summarizes my calling, and these songs are those that God has given for such a time as this.”

Bishop T. D. Jakes Releases Christmas CD

Megachurch bishop T.D. Jakes has released a Christmas CD featuring Gospel music stars MaryMary, Brian McKnight, and BeBe and CeCe Winans, among others.

The twelve-song collection, which boasts seasonal favorites and brand new yuletide offerings, comes more than two months before people worldwide celebrate Christmas Day. But as Jakes points out in the CD, the greatest Christmas gift is the One that remains with us every season and every month of the year.

“It’s more than a tree,” Jakes’ rich baritone muses on The Gift Remains. “It’s more than the carolers singing, the crowds and the fun… it’s more than all of that. It’s about Jesus: His gift that remains.”

The Gift Remains features classics including “Joy to the World” and “O Little Town of Bethlehem” as well as more contemporized songs, such as “Angel’s Medley” – a combo of “Gloria In Excel sis Deo” and “Angels We Have Heard on High.”

In between songs, Bishop Jakes offers inspiring Christmas messages of hope and faith.

“Now, it’s true we acknowledge Him in December but he’s much more than a holiday,” the Pentecostal minister says in sonorous baritone. “He’s the gift that remains in January, February, March, winter, spring, summer, fall. He’s the God of it all…

“Acknowledge the fact that all things that begin end, and all things that start, finish and all the people that come and go, you can deal with it – as long as you have the gift that remains…”

One of the fastest growing churches in the nation, Bishop Jakes’ The Potter’s House has a membership of over 30,000 members and a host of community-oriented ministries. He and The Potter’s House Mass Choir have released three hit CDs, including the Grammy-winning 2003 project, A Wing and a Prayer.

PBS Religion and Ethics Newsweekly have named Jakes among America’s “Top 10 Religious Leaders” and Time magazine featured Jake on the cover of its Sept. 17, 2001 issue with the provocative question: “Is This Man the Next Billy Graham?”
