                                                 "Victory Shout" has 9 brand new songs with the recent personnel changes for The

                                                 Kingsmen Quartet let me answer the most obvious question first. YES it's still that

                                                 Classic Kingsmen sound. If you have been a fan of The Kingsmen Quartet for 30

                                                 minutes, 30 Days, or 30 years you will enjoy this recording. The CD starts off with

                                                 the upbeat "Running Win." Then we slow things down a bit with a Beautiful song

                                                 "Just Climb." This song is a great reminder that no matter what is in front of us as

                                                 long as we know Jesus we can just climb any mountain. Then we have "I've Ever                                                         Been Glad" that features legendary Kingsmen bass singer Ray Dean Reese. This is the kind of song I enjoy hearing Ray Sing. Up next is the title song "Victory Shout" that features my friend Chris Jenkins. While you wait have faith and lift up a "Victory Shout" up next is "Dear John". Then we have a beautiful song written by my friend Matthew Lawson I have known The Lord and been reading The Bible for years now but Everytime I read it The Lord shows me something different and "it Still Changes Me" next is a beautiful song that tells you just who Jesus is. He is "King Of Kings". Up next is a Kingsmen Classic I heard for the first time in 1991 on the "Wish You Were Here" Recording called "Prodigal Son" the current lineup dose a great job on this Kingsmen Classic with a brand new track. Up next is one that to me is a wonderful reminder of how we can trust Jesus with everything we face because "You'll Move Mountains For Me" The Recording ends with a powerful song and a message I want my family and friends to know when we get to heaven just look for me by the throne and at the feet of Jesus because "That's Where You'll Find Me". In my opinion "Victory Shout" is the best Kingsmen Recording since "Battle Cry"


Listen and be blessed
