INEZ ANDREWS
Headline News (Peacock)

Headline News is drawn primarily from Inez Andrews first solo sessions in 1972, after decades as a featured singer in gospel groups like the Gospel Harmonettes, the Caravans and the Andrewettes. The selection is rounded out by an Andrewettes cut, "It's In My Heart," which gives a good feel for the role her powerful voice took in a group context.

Andrews possessed an impressive range, and the ability to project impressively throughout that range. These tracks were cut at a point when the power of her voice was near its peak, and the sessions reproduced here gave her her signature hit, "Lord, Don't Move The Mountain," which leads off the collection.

This is a fine compilation of tracks from one of the most memorable voices in the gospel field.

Track List:

Lord Don't Move The Mountain * Headline News * Close To Thee * It's In My Heart * On The Battlefield * On Healer * More Church In The Home * There's A God Somewhere (live) * War On Sin * I'm Free
