BLADENBORO, North Carolina – The Southern Gospel industry is all abuzz about the latest recording from one of the industry’s most awarded artists – the Dove Brothers Quartet. The new album, entitled Anything But Ordinary…Everything But Typical, showcases new melodic hooks and musical backgrounds coupled with the group’s trademark traditional roots.

Produced by popular producer Jeff Collins, Anything But Ordinary…Everything But Typical shows a new side to the group. Stretching themselves into solid country musical elements and vocal arrangements, the Dove Brothers Quartet has expanded its sound to reach a broader audience, and in turn, find the group’s own unique voice in the Southern Gospel market. The new album is being released nationally by Sonlite Records and is the group’s 10th career recording.

“We felt like it was time for the Dove Brothers to create our own identity in the Southern Gospel music industry,” mentioned McCray Dove. “Even though we are known for bringing a lot of the older songs back, we wanted to show a different side of the Dove Brothers Quartet and show the industry that we are very capable of turning out new music that is fresh and original.”

McCray continued, “We already had the Statesmen and Blackwoods, and they left a great mark and standard for us to build upon. Now, we feel it is time for us to leave our mark on the industry that will be a standard other groups can learn from and benefit from as we have done in the past. With this recording we wanted the music to be more progressive and the vocal arrangements to still be within the traditional aspect, but also having a fresh approach as well.”

The album’s debut single, the title cut, is already showing strong signs of success. The single is currently the #1 New Release on the Singing News Top 80 Chart for November 2005 and is sitting at #17 on the SouthernGospelNews.com Top 40 Weekly Chart, #8 on the SGUSA Weekly Countdown, and #38 on the U.S. Gospel News Top 100 Chart.

Critics and industry leaders have already started praising the latest album from the Dove Brothers Quartet:

"One way to gauge how successful a recording can potentially be is by how many new fans it can win over. I believe this newest recording by the DBQ could really win over some new fans (who otherwise would not have listened to the DBQ), while not even remotely alienating the ones they already have. This is a landmark recording for the DBQ and is a totally extraordinary, atypical piece of work!"
--James Hales, Staff Writer, SouthernGospelNews.com

"As McCray Dove said on [The Gospel Greats program], many folks have come to think of his group as the quartet that can really bring back the old quartet songs of yesteryear. But this new recording -- which includes all new songs -- shows that the Dove Brothers aren't stuck in the past. Their sound is as fresh and alive as any quartet out there today."
--Paul Heil, The Gospel Greats

“The Dove Brothers Quartet have another homerun with this new album. It’s a breath of fresh air in an already crowded quartet arena. This will no doubt win over many new fans to not only their group, but also to the entire genre.”
--Deon Unthank, Owner, SouthernGospelNews.com

“When it comes to traditional male quartets, they just don’t come any better than the Dove Brothers. McCray and Eric Dove have established their quartet as a role-model for any quartet desiring to continue the legacy of traditional quartet music from the early years. You can’t go wrong with a recording by the Dove Brothers for your Gospel music collection of quartets. I recommend this one! You’ll be blessed.”
--Sandi Duncan Clark, Staff Writer, SGMusicForum.com

“I had the honor of sitting in the studio while the Dove Brothers recorded vocals for their latest CD. What impressed me then and continues to impress me now that I've heard the finished product is McCray Dove's determination to create a bold new sound for his group. With a blend of upbeat lyrics, great male quartet harmony, and a music bed inspired by modern Country music, I believe he's accomplished precisely what he set out to do.”
--David Bruce Murray, Staff Writer, SouthernGospelNews.com & Musicscribe.com

"What can I say about the Dove Brothers except, “I love these guys!” I have had the privilege to work with them many times, and I have never been disappointed. They are the same off stage as they are on stage and their consistency never wavers. This new project is no exception to the quality that they possess.”
--U.S. Gospel News
