why pick a country song ?

There has been some talk about groups going taking country songs and recording them maybe changing a word or two to make it gospel or not changing anything and singing them in Southern Gospel market. The Dove Brothers have been talked about this as well as some other artist. Well this is nothing  new!!! This has been done many times. The Thrashers come to mind. The old Cats did it as well. Just like any song you record, some will like it and some want. A great song doesn't care who sings it. Now some are talking about the song not talking about the Gospel or about Jesus or Heaven ect. Well have you ever heard the Gospel in action? You take the song "Everyday" by Triumphant. That is the Gospel in Action!!!!!!! Does it have Jesus in the song NO but it does tell how Jesus would have us to be toward others. I could sing about don't let your left hand know what the right hand does and never mention about the Lord just what it means. Would that song be Gospel or just about how to live. 

Look there are those who can't stand for us to do Get away Jordan but there are more who like it. It is Gospel but everybody don't love it. We recorded  A Little GoodNews not because it was a country song but the words were on target for what the world is going through today and we felt that if we tell the world that the Gospel is the real Goodnews that it would speak in a different way today. And trust me it has been a big song in concert today. The Dove Brothers pick songs that we feel will speak to someone in a way that the next song want. I love a song that makes me think and look at my life. But it is like everything else in Southern Gospel Music  and the Church we are the only Army that shoots its own Soldiers!!!!!! I have been Guilty of that myself So I have took the song Everyday and have tried to put it into Action and along the way spread a little goodnews!
