Sunday Morning Coffee:: The Sojouners Reborn

Back in the day, I started the Sunday Morning Coffee sessions largely because of the Vancouver based Gospel outfit, The Sojouners. Their first record was the knock you on your ass type of gospel record that just made you feel better.

Since that day, I've seen The Sojouners charm a room full of people at the Mississippi Sheiks fundraiser, heard them guest on a few records and really grow into something bigger than just a fantastic gospel outfit. Martcus Mosely, Will Sanders and Ron Small can trade vocals like kids trade baseball cards - wait, do people still do that? - but they sounds they dabble with range from R&B to soul to blues to, of course, gospel.

The single from their new record - Nobody Came Turn Me Around - is warmed by some organ, but all of the new tracks I've heard really smoke. They have blossomed into more than talented vocalists, no, these three gentleman have become a full fledged band that can make you sway, make you dance, but most importantly, make you feel alive.
