“A New Sound For The New Year”
By Dan Cowart, President Of AOI
Issue Article: January 2006 (Article For The Power The Power Source Magazine) A new sound is being released in the earth as we began this new-year. Inspirational Country Music is experiencing Supernatural favor as our unique brand of Country Music continues to be embraced by mainstream radio stations across our nation. As opportunities continue to open up for us to release this new sound throughout our nation and around the world, we as songwriters, artists, producers, and others must be faithful to keep pressing forward as good stewards of this new sound. God has chosen us to influence our culture with this new brand of Country Music, and we must not fail in this important hour. There has never been a more critical time in the History of Christian Country Music than today. The doors to reach the WORLD with our music are opened. We must raise our level of QUALITY and EXCELLANCE and deliver effectively Go’s LOVE and his message of TRUTH through our music to a hurting WORLD. There are more people open to this new sound of Inspirational Country Music and the message of God, Family and Country than ever in our history. As we began this NEW YEAR, we must all take on a new level of responsibility and allow God to perfect whatever is lacking in our sound. The sound of Inspirational Country Music is no longer just for the Church. The WORLD has invited us to share our sound and our message to the largest audience in music history. They only have a few simple requirements and if we fail to comply, then we will be sent back to singing to the CHIOR again. The WORL’S requirements are these; · Present your sound using the highest quality recording standards in the music industry: · Don’t judge us, love us: · Write songs tastefully and send us messages of Hope, Truth, songs about God, Family, and Country: · Remember that songs that are written well, must also be PRODUCED well: · Make sure that you live your song before you sing it: (We can TELL when it’s REAL) · Make sure that you say only what God is saying in your songs and when he’s finished, make sure that you finish too: · Remember that it’s not about you, it’s all about him: (We’re listening) I hope that we will all seek first to understand the audiences that God has called us to reach and that we will become all things to all people as the Apostle Paul did, so that in the end we can reach those that would never be reached any other way.
