The Hoskins Family Bursts Back On the Scene With New CD

Waynesville, OH (January 23, 2014) Daywind Records of Nashville, TN is excited to announce the release of a new CD by the Hoskins Family. Known for their great family harmony and strong emotion expressed in their songs, the Hoskins Family is geared to have another chart busting album on their hands. Produced by Joyce Martin and Angie Hoskins this project offers creative stylings that only these two progressive thinkers could accomplish.

The album is titled 'A Gathering The Hits Of Then and Now' and was released January 21, 2014.

The songs on the album include the mega-hit that brought the Hoskins Family to prominence “Safe That Far” written by Kyla Rowland, the BMI Most Air-played Song Award “Places To Go, People To See” written by Gerald Crabb and chart topper “You Keep Loving Me” penned by Angie Hoskins.

The project also includes other hit songs that Hoskins Family fans and Southern Gospel listeners will have the privilege to re-experience.

“The Hoskins Family quickly built a reputation in Southern Gospel Music for fantastic songs that were passionately conveyed to listeners,” Daywind president Ed Leonard explained. “I am confident that this project will not only give their fans an enjoyable stroll down memory lane but also a new avenue of musical enjoyment. They'll not be disappointed, and we at Daywind are excited to hear the responses in regard to another stellar project from the Hoskins Family.”

'A Gathering The Hits Of Then and Now' has delivered a top charting new song for The Hoskins Family, "Whenever I Hear His Name" written by Marty Funderburk which is #6 in the Singing News chart for March. Lifeway and Family Christian stores are pushing the product as many other independent stores were excited to put the Hoskins Family back on the shelf.

“God Is Big” is authored by Annie McRae and is an up beat, drive down the road with the windows down kind of song. It's performed by Angie and her 17 year old daughter Abigail with guest star Joyce Martin and sure to be a favorite.

Lastly, “Endless Tomorrows”, also written by Marty Funderburk is a heart felt ballad with the true Hoskins Family sound.

In Luke 2:13-14 we find that they sang praises on the announcement of the birth of Jesus Christ and Matthew records in chapter 26 that the Apostles sang during the last supper. The Promise Trio keeps this tradition alive by singing the praises of our Savior in churches and concerts across the land.

Shelton is overseeing Daywind’s expansion into other markets, recently hiring Stephen Duncan as Creative Director.   Duncan is the first graduate of the Belmont University songwriting program and has great relationships across all genres of Christian music.  His strong music background as a concert pianist will prove a plus as Daywind moves into praise and worship, adult contemporary and Christian hit radio formats through new writer signings and collaborations with the talented staff of songwriters at Daywind.    “Stephen Duncan was highly recommended for this role by Steve Rice at Centricity and Mike Murray at Integrity, two men I highly respect in this industry, and I am so excited to see what we will accomplish together,“ said Shelton.

We all have a bucket list and this was on mine. I got to bring in Gerald Wolfe, Mark Trammell, Dailey & Vincent, Randy Perry, Debra Perry Reed, Wayne Haun, Tracy Stuffle, the Sisters and Jeff & Sheri Easter. I was like a little kid on Christmas morning in the studio listening to my heroes sing on my CD!  The CD is not fancy, but it's just me and who I am and the music I love!  It's been a long JOURNEY, but I've always had a song!”
