On the broadcast for the weekend of February 18th, it’s an All Listener Favorites Edition! Every song on this program (other than Featured Artist selections) will be introduced by listeners who called the special Call-In line when it was recently opened. Hear what they favorite songs are — and why they’re favorites. Paul also includes a special mini-countdown of the five most requested songs (including the number one song which had twice as many votes as number two!)
And, his Featured Artist on this program is one of today’s foremost soloists in Southern Gospel music, Ivan Parker. He’ll share some songs from his current Joyride CD and explain why that concept of “joy” is overlooked far too often among Christians. He’ll also explain how he managed to get that hot red Mustang for his album cover photo shoot. Be listening for a very special song called Temporary Goodbye, among others.
Finally … you’ll learn all about the new “I’ll Fly Away Foundation” on the Headline Update.

Paul’s Featured Artists on the weekend of February 11th are the Dove Brothers, with songs from their new Live – The Dove Brothers and the Dove Brothers Band CD. Learn why McCray Dove thinks it’s so important to have a live band on stage at their concerts, and why doing a live album (such as this one) is an attempt to bring back the excitement of live-in-concert recordings of the past. They’ll even have two songs that fit into our “love theme” (see below).
And … learn how you could win free registration to watch one of Poet Voices‘ very first concerts since the group has been reactivated — live on the web. You’ll also learn about a brand new all-quartet multi-day event that begins next year in Memphis. And Bryan Hutson has a story about how something that happened to him as a child during the Valentine’s Day season still reminds him why God’s love is so very special.
In case you miss Daniel Britt’s program this week … Paul’s Featured Artists on his broadcast for the weekend of February 4th is one of today’s most popular groups, Ernie Haase & Signature Sound. They’ll be offering some songs from their soon-to-be-released CD entitled Here We Are Again. You’ll hear that title song plus their current radio hit, I’ve Been Here Before, and several other songs. And, Paul talks with Ernie, Doug, Devin, Ian and Wayne about their songs. Ernie will explain why he had a hand in writing most of the songs on this CD.
On the weekend of January 28th … it’s Paul’s monthly official Singing News Top 20 Countdown Edition, with the countdown based on the magazine’s monthly top-tunes chart appearing in their February issue. (The countdown edition airs on our final broadcast each month and is based on the following month’s published chart.)
His Featured Artists, for the first time as such, are the father-son duo, Wilburn & Wilburn. This is Jonathan Wilburn (formerly with Gold City and, before that, the Wilburns) and his son, Jordan. Paul talks with them about how this new musical ministry came about. You’ll find out who really wanted to do this — father or son! And, of course, we’ll have several songs from their new Family Ties CD.
On the weekend of January 21st, Paul’s Featured Artists are the Dixie Melody Boys, celebrating their 50th anniversary as a quartet. You’ll hear songs from their anniversary CD, The Call Is Still The Same, which includes the voices of several former DMB members and special guests as well as, of course, the current group. Paul talks with Ed O’Neal about the group and its history and hear from a few of those special guests, too. And you’ll find out why they almost didn’t record the song that has become their current radio single, Jesus In My Boat.
