The Perrys Have Done it Again

          With forty-nine years of experience, The Perrys are still producing music that stirs the heart, tickles the ears, and gets your toes tapping. With 25 albums that have soared in Southern Gospel charts, their latest album, “Keep Movin’ Along,” still has the message of the Gospel as its core, and it is delivered with power and style.

A short album by most standards with only seven tracks, this album is packed with greatness. Beginning with “It Never Gets Old,” the Gospel rings loud and clear through lyrics about the love of God and truths about the Cross. “Walk Me Through” is a favorite of mine with Libbi Stuffle’s alto voice singing about the presence of God in our darkest valleys. The next voice you hear is Andrew Goldman as he sings “Take You to the Cross,” presenting a truly gripping journey as we discover Christ’s love for us. Jared Stuffle is driving the bus on “That’s How You Know,” along with Troy Peach and Andrew Goldman. This track is smooth as silk with a mid-tempo tune. It begins with Jesus speaking to His disciples in Matthew 24 and ends with a resurrected Jesus, all the while taking us on a trip through the ministry of Christ.

Next in line is “Tailor Made” sang by Troy Peach, a balled with a country flair that focuses on the work that God does in repairing those that are torn, broken, or stained. The result is a wonderful message of redemption regardless of how ragged one may be. “Never a Time” is, in my opinion, a classic Perrys-style track. Libbi again leads by reminding the listener that God is indeed faithful. The title track “Keep Movin’ Along” was written by Lonnie B. Combs and published in 1945. This convention-style song allows their quartet harmonies to shine bright. These lyrics encourage the listener to keep on moving on the gospel way and warns that we should not be hindered by the snares or the obstacles in our way.

There is something for every listener on this album, from a modern sound to country to the old convention style, but that’s just my Southern Gospel Point of View.
