Sterling - Sunday Morning

Pride of Houston, TX (formed in 1995), Sterling first caught our attention with their excellent debut CD, "Saturday Night." The energetic young foursome has been steadily climbing in Barbershop Harmony Society competitions, Baritone Justin Oxley was replaced by Bryan Pulver, and it was time for these deeply spiritual men to release their 2nd album, "Sunday Morning," a wonderful Gospel collection. 14 songs, beginning with a whole new take on "Get Happy," "Turn Your Radio On," an outstanding "Gospel Medley," "This Old House," the spirituals "Great Gittin' Up Mornin'" and "Mary Had A Baby;" "I Go To The Rock," "When I Lift Up My Head," "When I Survey the Wondrous Cross"…these are some of our all-time favorites. Sterling appropriately finishes with "Taps" (with a non-vocal trumpet solo by group member Ross Larrison), and the lovely "Irish Blessing." "Sunday Morning" left us, and we trust will leave you, with that "Sunday Morning" feeling--uplifted, inspired, grateful and blessed! 5842 CD 14.95
