Ten songs covering a wide range of musical styles. This set was produced by Staton's son, Marcus Williams, who is a flawless and in-demand session drummer. As a result, the production is very slick and clean. It features Staton's autobiographical number one gospel hit "Mama," which was actually more of a Southern pop song than gospel. The album ...

Standing on the Promises
(1991)

by
Candi Staton
Ten songs on the traditional tip, but with an urban flavor. Standouts are Staton's renditions of the hymns "When He Reached Down His Hand For Me," "Glory To His Name" and the title track. Only complaint is that a lot of the music was programmed, instead of played by musicians. That's fine for dance, but a much harder sale for traditional gospel. ...

Produced by John Sussewell and Oliver A. Scott, this nine-track album is on the harder edge of contemporary gospel. For the most part, songs such as the title tune are heavy on synthesizers, percussion and bass. "He's Always There" and "The Glory of Jesus" are oddball traditional Southern gospel fillers. The Richard Smallwood Singers lend their ...
