The Kingdom Heirs Bring a New Lease of Life to their Legendary Songs with New Album

When a legendary group takes on legendary songs, the results are bound to be special-and indeed, the first two collections of favorites from the Kingdom Heirs were so well received that the quartet has returned to the well once more for Something Good, Volume 3, on Sonlite Records. The album is now available for pre-order, add or save ahead of its April 7 release.
Like its predecessors, Something Good, Volume 3 finds the famed ensemble - now boasting a new lineup as they head toward their 40th year as Dollywood's resident gospel group - drawing from the deep well of long-beloved yet ever-timely songs to create an album that that will not only bring old memories to life, but make new ones, too.
"Over the past 6 years, we've recorded a series of albums entitled Something Good," says singer Loren Harris. "This is the third volume in that series, with the current lineup of myself on lead and Andy Stringfield on baritone along with Jacob Ellison and Jeff Chapman on tenor and bass respectively. This recording, like the two before it, has some of our favorite songs that have been recorded over the years by other groups, by groups that we may have performed with, or remakes of Kingdom Heir classics!"
From the opening "I'm Forgiven," a spirited, horn- and piano-driven celebration of God's mercy that dates back to the late 1970s, to the classic quartet sound of the closing "Glory Road," first introduced in 1973 by The Kingsmen, Something Good, Volume 3 is a loving survey of Gospel music treasures, each given the Kingdom Heirs' unique treatment.
Country flavors predominate, with the pedal steel guitar and harmonica making regular appearances alongside the ever-present keyboards, but there is room for much more, too, including elaborate orchestrations that surround the quartet's voices with a rich sonic tapestry on songs such as The Kingsmen's "The Cross Has Won Again," Happy Goodman Family's "That Sounds Like Home To Me" and The Perrys' "He Will Hide Me," and a two-part arrangement of "Moving Up To Gloryland" that puts the Kingdom Heirs' own unique stamp on the popular favorite. Indeed, with each song, whether it features Harris, Stringfield, Ellison or Chapman - or all four voices throughout - the Kingdom Heirs manage to summon echoes of earlier performances while shining through with a musical character and a spiritual richness that's all theirs.
Says Harris, "I think you'll enjoy this trip down memory lane as we relive this wonderful music that we love to sing" - and if the enthusiastic reception given by their fans to the previous volumes of Something Good is any indication, it's a trip listeners will be happy to take over and over again.
