Southern Gospel And Stuff

I've been browsing the results of typing "Southern Gospel" in the search engine at CDBaby.com, a website for independent artists. Some of the more interesting results include:

1. Bobby Lounge (not for the faint of heart - Doug Harrison blogged on this peculiarity some time ago - that bizarre booger can play some boogie woogie piano, though)

2. Big Nate (categorized as "Southern Gospel Rap" - I kid you not)

3. Ras Alan (Appalachian Reggae - "weaves southern gospel, roots reggae, early country, Jamaican ska, flatpicked bluegrass, the rhythmic elements of Rastafari and a lifetime of songwriting experience into a spiritually compelling fabric" - their words, not mine)

4. Mars Arizona (the first cut is sort of a female rockabilly sound, and the others are all over the stylistic map - may as well throw "southern gospel" in as a descriptor, I guess)

5. Committed (pretty good acappella music at this link, but it doesn't sound "Southern Gospel" to me)

6. Old Fashion Faithful ("Musically arranged and produced by Capricorn Records artist Keith Evans, 'Little is Much' is called the best work of his career" - their words, not mine - my mind reels with observations that are better left unsaid - sadly, one of the DJs at my local Southern Gospel radio station would play this stuff on the air if someone sent him a copy)

7. SGR Rhyme Family (for those who really enjoyed Big Nate and want to hear even more SGRap)
