These guys have only been together for a little over a year, but you sure can not tell it by the music they are turning out. They sing together most every day at the Louise Mandrel Theatre in Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge and their sound shows it.

Starting the CD is a “Celebration Medley” that consists of familiar Christmas Carols including “Hark The Herald Angles Sing,” “O Little Town Of Bethlehem,” “Children Go Where I Send Thee,” “Do You Hear What I Hear,” “Go Tell It On The Mountain,” and “Joy To The World.” “Who Could Imagine A King” is a beautiful ballad featuring Clayton Inman. Not only is the melody pretty, but the message is beautiful and stirring. After that, David Sutton is featured on “Mary Wrapped A Present”, which is also a very pretty song with a strong message.

One of my all time favorite Christmas songs of modern days is “I Have Seen The Light” and these guys do it as well as anyone ever has. This is no doubt my favorite on the whole CD. Scott Inman shines on “Christmastime”. For you older folks, it has sort of a 2nd Chapter of Acts feel to it, but Scott expresses it very well. Jeff Stice takes the spotlight on “The Hallelujah Chorus”. His instrumental piano version is as good as you will hear anywhere. By the end of the last chorus you will be singing “Hallelujah” with him as he plays it.

Not many Bass singers could pull of a song with as much expression as Eric Bennett does, but he draws you right in. You will be blessed as you listen to this very reverent version of this popular Christmas song, “Mary Did You Know.” “I Pray On Christmas” enables them to show that they can sing with a country flair too. They just sort of have fun with this song. “Twilight At The North Pole” is for the kids in all of us. Even Scott sings with the little girls on this song (you sort of have to listen to understand that part), but they all have a really good time singing several fun Christmas songs that all of your kids will surely enjoy. Closing out the CD is fine a Capella version of “Caroling, Caroling.”

This is a great Christmas project! INTEGRITY QT shines.. The arrangements are top notch.. This is not your run of the mill SG Christmas album.

These guys are awesome. I work in the studio quite a bit with Jeff Stice, and what a class act. Their ministry opportunities are amazing as they are the # 1 rated morning show, in terms of crowd, in the history of Pigeon Forge. Other male quartets should thank the Lord daily that these guys aren't doing the normal quartet thing.
