-----------April 4, 2006Dixie Echoes History Other groups with a long legacy would do well to check out the Dixie Echoes website, study what they've done, and then set out to do something similar on their own websites. The Dixie Echoes have just uploaded several pages that summarize the history of the group, including photos of EVERY group member and EVERY project cover from the group's history.Click HERE to view what they have done. Gold City fans will enjoy seeing photos of a young Tim Riley and a young Garry Jones. Several group members who later became household names with other groups first pulled stints with the Dixie Echoes, particularly bass singers and piano players. The group has had the least turnover at the lead position with Jack Toney, Dale Shelnut, and Randy Shelnut being the only three men to hold that position. In a way, it's a shame that this is so unique. When I was researching my book, I was surprised by the absence or grossly limited scope of any "official" biographical information to be found on major gospel group websites. All groups should honor those who came before by putting this much care and attention into their official website's biographical section. It would sure make life a lot easier on us Southern Gospel historians for one thing, but more importantly, it would give fans a glimpse of the determination that is required for a group to be sustained for decades. I'm glad the Dixie Echoes are setting the standard...hopefully others will soon follow. Labels: History posted by David Bruce Murray @ 10:38:00 AM
