Gospel’s most prolific innovator, the legendary Bobby Jones has released a new CD. After a seven year hiatus from recording, he returns with Rejoice With Me, his 12th studio album. A collection of 11 wonderfully inspiring tracks, Rejoice With Me features nothing but some good gospel music and awesome sanging – You heard me right!
Dr. Jones, along with the Nashville Super Choir (NSC), are joined with a few friends on this project. Likewise, it is no surprise that they performed spot on in the true Bobby Jones fashion – They took it to Church! The title track, “Rejoice With Me”, opens the album. It is a rousing, upbeat tune with the fabulous Faith Evans taking the lead. The phenomenal Ann Nesby joins Dr. Jones on the beautiful melody, “Praise The Lord.” This one really shifts the atmosphere. Shawn McLemore, Howard Hewitt, Renee Spearman and Paul Jackson Jr. lend their impressive vocals to some remarkable selections as well. The set closes on an emotional high with a stirring remix of Rejoice With Me (namely – “Everybody Rejoice”). Dr. Jones’ latest offers an extraordinary experience. It epitomizes why admirers love Mr. Sunday Morning, himself – Dr. Bobby Jones.
In addition to being a Grammy Award winning gospel artist, Dr. Bobby Jones is the executive producer and host of many inspirational programs. A key component in introducing the world to a plethora of gospel talents, Dr. Jones also loans his gift of expertise to numerous productions that includes Bobby Jones Gospel Classics, Bobby Jones Presents, Video Gospel and cable TV’s longest running show, BET Bobby Jones Gospel. He has an extensive list of accolades that includes Dove, Stellar, Sally Martin, Thomas A. Dorsey and Trumpet awards. He is a devout man of God that ministers through music.
