While he is the undisputed king of gospel television—Bobby Jones Gospel is the longest-running cable television program, period— Ambassador Dr. Bobby Jones has not always fared as well on radio.

That just changed with Rejoice With Me. Produced by Michael Bereal and Professor James Roberson for EchoPark JDI, the album showcases the work of Jones’ Nashville Super Choir, a team of capable musicians, and several soloists.

Functioning basically as narrator, Jones gives the album over to NSC and top-shelf gospel singers such as Faith Evans, who leads the spirited title track. Ann Nesby’s biting traditional singing combines with Jones’s opening solo on the up-tempo, Pentecostal-fueled “Right Now Praise,” written by Percy Gray. Shawn McLemore fronts “Let’s Praise The Lord,” another spritely handclapper. “The more I praise, the better I feel,” McLemore sings, and it’s clear he’s feeling just fine.

“Faithful Is He” is the album’s sleeper. Written by Pharis Evans Jr. and Jewell Maulty IV, this sweet ballad on the steadfastness of God is led by NSC member Kyla Jade, a stellar singer whose vibrant voice can also be heard at Cathedral of Praise COGIC, where she is a Praise and Worship leader under the Honorable Bishop Jerry L. Maynard.

The tightness of the choir, the song selection, the tilt toward the traditional, and the work of the soloists, especially Kyla Jade, are what make this album work. Especially effective are the brief exposition of church classics, notably “My Faith Looks Up to Thee” and “No Not One.” Each are given a solid reading by Jade, Jamar Carter, and Kimberly D. Fleming. The album would have been even stronger had the instrumental-plus-choir version of the title track been replaced by another one of these chestnuts.

Nevertheless, the blend of the contemporary and traditional on Rejoice With Me! will make it winner with a wide variety of gospel enthusiasts.

Four of Five Stars

Picks: “Right Now Praise,” “Let’s Praise the Lord.”
