Toni Rackard’s first solo release, Are You Ready For War? is a celebration of gospel music with elements of contemporary gospel, urban gospel, praise and worship and even some smatterings of smooth and straight ahead jazz.
Listeners can expect the same solid combination of invigorating rhythms backed by strong vocals. In an era with so many gospel recording artists choosing to create original tunes with unique beats, fans who favor the classical choir sound will enjoy Eason’s approach to gospel music.
This fourth EMI project for Smokie stands out. “Smokie Norful Live” is compelling and heartfelt. Fans will enjoy the stirring intensity and deep faith Smokie has become known for on his musical projects.
