T-Byrd Is Grammy Bound!

As announced Dec. 8 in New York City, collaborative artists THE JORDANAIRES, THE LIGHT CRUST DOUGHBOYS, NOKIE EDWARDS and LARRY "T-BYRD" GORDON have received a Grammy Nomination for their artistry on the album, SOUTHERN MEETS SOUL: AN AMERICAN GOSPEL JUBILEE.

SOUTHERN MEETS SOUL is an essential album in this year's roster of best performances, and it sprinkles elements of R&B and Soul with the rootsy-Americana, Southern and Country Gospel sound for which album producer, Grammy Award-winner Art Greenhaw is known. SOUTHERN MEETS SOUL features the album's legendary artists singing fresh, new gospel songs such as "Eyes On The Prize", "Blessed Are You" and "Take Care Of My Mother", gospel classics like "The Church In The Wildwood" and even some creative, power gospel arrangements of Pop and Rock evergreens adapted to the Southern-Country-Bluegrass Gospel style of music.

The Jordanaires are one of the most influential vocal and recording groups in history with membership in The Gospel and Country Music Halls of Fame. The Light Crust Doughboys continue to carry the torch for western swing and are Official Music Ambassadors for the State of Texas and the honorees of a new Hall of Fame and Museum dedicated to their music in Quitman, Texas. Nokie Edwards, former lead guitarist of top, hit-making instrumental combo, The Ventures, has inspired many of today's top guitarists and continues to tour worldwide as a solo artist and with The Ventures. Larry "T-Byrd" Gordon is an accomplished arranger, composer, producer, band leader, and saxophone virtuoso and is also a college professor mentoring new generations of professional musicians.

SOUTHERN MEETS SOUL was recorded over a several month period in Dallas and Nashville by expert engineers, vocal arrangers and vocal producers including Phil York, Denny "CC" Knight, Larry "T-Byrd" Gordon, Ray Walker, Louis Nunley, Gordon Stoker, Curtis Young and Tim Cooper. The Jordanaires, The Light Crust Doughboys, Nokie and T-Byrd are really 'on fire' here, vocally and instrumentally."
