Classically trained David Phelps releases 'Freedom' set

IN THE UK Joining The Dots are distributing the latest album by Southern gospel balladeer David Phelps. 'Freedom' features the classically trained tenor on such gospel standards as "Ain't No Grave" and "When The Saints Go Marching In" as well as the song "Ghost Town (Freedom)". Said Phelps, "I began writing the era-based lyric in the verses and was amazed how the metaphor of Christ painted itself. However, I got to the chorus and was stuck. After playing it for Bill (Gaither) he agreed that it needed something different than what I had. I went back to the drawing board and I asked myself, 'What is this all about? It's not really about a ghost town or a metaphor or even the specific needs of Jesus. It's about why he did what he did: freedom!'" CR
