About the Artist
Jessy Dixon, one of today's foremost Christian music talents, has a message that is simple yet profound. "Jesus is the answer for the world today."

With his hundreds if concerts around the world, his television outreach on his own shows plus the massive exposure on the Bill Gaither HomeComing tv specials , with more than two dozen recording projects (including 3 gold) and a handful of NARS Grammy Award nominations to his credit, Jessy had been hailed as "the King of Gospel." Known for his unforgetable live performances, his musical impact has been felt by crowdsacross the U.S. and around the world .He has appeared in concert halls around the globe; from New York's Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden and Apollo Theater to London's Royal Albert Hall; from Washington's JFK Center to the Kenyatta International Conference Center in Kenya, Africa and hundreds of other major venues across Europe, Scandinavia and the Caribbean.

A native of San Antonio, Texas, Jessy developed a love for music and started music lessons at age 5. In high school and at St. Mary's College, he earned acclaim as a pianist and singer. He relocated to Chicago where he became the pianist, composer and vocalist with the faned Thompson Community Singers ("The Tommies") .He later formed the Jessy Dixon Singers.

Shortly after his spiritual conversion, Jessy performed at the Newport Jazz & Blues Festival at New York's Radio Music Hall. That performance earned four encores and the invitation to join Paul Simon on his first around-the -world solo tour. He sang gospel with Paul Simon for the next eight years across the U.S., Japan, England, France, Holland, Scandinavia and Israel. He received two gold records" for his work on Paul Simon's Live Rhymin' Simon and Still Crazy hit recordings. Since leavingSimon, he has continued to tour the world relentlessly, appear on major television programs and produce many important recordings including the 1997 "hit" I Am Redeemed.

Jessy Dixon is a pioneer in blending Black Gospel and Contemporary Christian Music styles. He has been desribed as "a singer with a voice that can bring the sweetest caress to a delicate melody and holler with all the store-front church passion of his Black Gospel heritage." His songs have ben recorded by many major secular and Christian artists. He was proclaimed "intrnational Gospel singer" in recognition of his hundreds of appearances - more than any other artist in history - in Scandinavia, West Africa, India, Holland and Switzerland. Jessy became an ordained minister in 1982. Dubbed "the singing evangelist" believes that every concert is a missionary opportunity. He says, "I just keep pointing to Jesus and I'm not making any apolgies for singing about Him." BAND_MEMBERS: Original recording produced by Bill Maxwell & Andre Crouch

Prime Cuts: Too Many Tears Too Late, Middle of Nowhere, Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow

Looks can be deceiving. With its amateurish CD sleeve artwork and the far from the recherché Vogue-worthy Faith-Hill million-dollar pose, it is easy to dismiss Sara Evans' debut CD. However, this shoddy-looking album encases a superb collection of songs rich in character detail drawn from mining the deep recesses of the heart. Traditional purists have much to holler about as Susan Evans is a torch singer of the Tammy Wynette persuasion where she nurses the broken heart in the sonic cradle of fiddle, guitar and mandolin. What makes these songs so compelling is the import of songwriter Carl Jackson whose scribal portfolio include Trisha Yearwood's "Lonesome Dove," Patty Loveless' "You Don't Know How Lucky You Are," Diamond Rio's "Closer to the Edge" among others. Here, Jackson dips his pen for 7 whooping cuts most of which are co-writes with other luminaries such as Suzy Bogguss, Jim Weatherly, Curtis Wright and Irene Kelley.

As aforementioned, "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow" is leaven with forlorn and lacerating songs. Among those that bear Jackson's fingerprints, "Too Many Tears too Late," is a mournful ballad with Evans giving her paramour the brush off after numerous disappointments and false hopes. Continuing the theme of despair though with a more assertive beat, "You Don't the Meaning of the Word," a co-write of Jackson with Curtis Wright, finds a despondent Evans lamenting over her man's distorted view of romance. Finding solace in the mournful sounds of the fiddle, "In Love" has a bittersweet bite as the protagonist wallows in self-pity at her hubby's departure. While "Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow," the title cut is a gorgeous piano ballad in the Lorrie-Morgan tradition. Here Evans longs for brighter days ahead in the aftermath of a doleful past.

Of the non-Jackson cuts, Bobbie Cryner, the writer of Trisha Yearwood's "Real Live Woman" has two entries. First of which is the melancholic ballad "Middle of Nowhere" which brilliantly coaxes the broken heart to confide its deepest pain. While the other Cryner input is the rollicking "I'm Gonna Get You Back" that bolsters an evocative Cajun tinge set at a bullet-speed pace. While Kostas' "He's Your Problem Now" with its irresistible hook is the album most commercial track.

Overall, these songs cut through the carapace of those non-descript love songs that never get pass beyond the obvious. Rather, thanks in part to Evans' seasoned nuances, these paeans address the issues of the heart with verve, reality and sensitivity. If there is any quibble, one would wish that with her sophomore effort Evans would treat us to a love gone right ballad or two. Nevertheless, Evans' veneration for country past manifest through this present CD ought to pave a sturdy road of success for tomorrow.
