In the home release Live from the Tabernacle, three electrifying contemporary gospel sensations - Myron Butler, Darwin Hobbs and Darlene McCoy - team up for a three-in-one Christian worship concert at the infamous concert hall The Tabernacle, on Luckie Street in downtown Atlanta, Georgia - home to world-class Christian and secular acts. Numbers include Butler covering "That Place" and "Set Me Free," McCoy performing "Simply Because" and "I Adore You," and Hobbs singing "I Give You Praise" and "Glorify Him." ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi

One would be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't think that, for all intents and purposes, Bill Monroe invented bluegrass. At least 15 of the biggest artists in the genre are in agreement on that point, and they all came together to record this tribute concert to the legendary Monroe. Among those performing some of Monroe's best-loved songs in The Legend Lives On: A Tribute to Bill Monroe are Marty Stuart, the Whites, Charlie Daniels, and Ralph Stanley & the Clinch Mountain Boys. ~ Matthew Tobey, Rovi

The beat of Woodstock lives on. In the hills of Tennessee, in the year 1999, a music festival reminiscent of a bygone era came to pass. This program captures the moment on film. At a place with the whimsical name Itchycoo Park, thousands of music lovers gathered for a retrospective celebration with some of the biggest names in rock & roll history. Among the groups in the all-star lineup were Grand Funk Railroad, Styx, Christopher Cross, Steppenwolf, and Starship -- the latest incarnation of the legendary band Jefferson Airplane. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, Rovi

Part of the Living Legends of Gospel series, this release from GoodTimes is hosted by soul-music icon Lou Rawls and features live performances by some of gospel's biggest names.

Donald Lawrence qualifies as not only one of the most successful gospel music performer/producers of the 1990s and 2000s, but as that rarity: a crossover from the religious to the secular markets, on par with Sister Rosetta Tharpe and The Dixie Hummingbirds. Lawrence, however, set himself apart from those predecessors via his straight, unfettered worship music, performed along with his accompanists, The Tri-City Gospel Choir (its moniker referring to the 'tri-cities' of Spartanburg, South Carolina; Gastonia, North Carolina; and Charlotte, North Carolina). That group headlines the worship release Donald Lawrence and the Tri-City Singers: The Grand Finale - Encourage Yourself in which they perform twelve hymns before a live congregation. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
