Question: What do you get when you put one of the baddest rising quartets and the “Prince of Gospel” in the same studio?

Answer: You get one head-bobbing inspirational tune that’s shaking up radio and uplifting hearts all over the country.

“Turn It Around” is the current single by Arkansas’s Tim Rogers & The Fellas featuring John P. Kee. The 32 year-old singer/songwriter/pastor and Kee deliver this mid-tempo bounce so earnestly that by the time they finish hurling their doses of encouragement (“Even if your life is still in a mess, believe God for your blessing–it’s comin’ to your address”), your faith in the power of God is unwavering.

“Turn It Around” is from Tim Rogers & The Fellas’ forthcoming CD, Real, scheduled for release in June.

Happy Easter from GMF!

In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’” Luke 24:5-7 NIV

Happy Resurrection Sunday from GMF! Here’s a video of one of my favorite songs of this sacred season. I’ve listed my other favorites here: Editor’s Picks of the (Easter) Season.
