New Gospel CD from Carolina Road
Lorraine Jordan & Carolina Road have a new CD out this year which they are currently promoting on the road.
Why Don’t You Give Jesus A Try, as the name suggests, is an all-Gospel release from Tom T. and Dixie Hall’s Blue Circle Records. It actually hit the street at the end of March, but only recently have audio samples appeared online.
Carolina Road features band leader Lorraine Jordan on mandolin and lead vocals, Jerry Butler on guitar, Ben Green on banjo and Josh Goforth on fiddle.
A complete track listing and several audio samples can be found on the band’s web site.
