Tim Woodson and the Heirs of Harmony take it back to the old school with their new toe-tapper, "He Rescued Me," from their new CD, Millionaire - Live In Newport News. The Grand Rapids group's presentation brings to mind a few of their likely quartet influences. Woodson's styling during the opening lines, for instance, hints at The Sensational Nightingales' Horace "Sug" Thompson while the rafter-rattling background falsetto harmonies channel the Fantastic Violinaires. When you add in the rallies for audience participation, "He Rescued Me" is like trotting down memory lane with Tim Woodson and the Heirs of Harmony on a pleasant Sunday afternoon.

Fans of hip-slapping, hand-clapping gospel quartet singing will love this live selection from Tim Woodson & the Heirs of Harmony.  When the members “were lost,” Jesus rescued them, placing their feet on the right road.  They tell about the journey in high harmonies, a strutting beat, a testimony, and several audience-delighting codas. Tim Woodson & the Heirs of Harmony formed in 1992.  In addition to Woodson, current personnel are Randy Williams, Ezra Bryant, Ke'Andree Jones, Steve Powell, Christian Whattys, and Mickey Williams.

Under the direction of Tim Woodson, the Heirs are well on their way to becoming one of the nation's most sought after quartet groups.  In this their recordings the Heirs follow the pattern that has meant success for many other groups such as The Canton Spirituals, Lee Williams & the Spiritual QC's, Mighty Clouds of Joy, Violinaires, and many others.  Like these pioneer groups Tim Woodson & the Heirs of Harmony have presented a virtual greatest hits project. The irresistible mixture of preaching and singing is once again joined in a harmonious marriage of chorus overlays, tambourine clatters, and hand claps.  Each repetition of the background chorus serves as the perfect launching path for Woodson's house wrecking vocals. His ability to both croon and squeal with the best of them is definitely suited for the quartet ballad style. In closing, I give Tim Woodson & The Heirs of Harmony "Instruments of Praise" a 8.5 out of 10. Their music is recommended to all those who love the present day quartet sound. Characterized by a mixture of both old and new sounds the Heirs of Harmony have hit the mark of excellence with this recording.  Pick up your copy of their CD at your local record shop today.
