Sylvester, GA. Ricky Atkinson, owner/manager of Ricky Atkinson and Compassion announces the return of one of Southern Gospel Musics most popular baritone singers. Scott Thomas, formerly of Tony Gore and Majesty, along with his wife Tessa will join Ricky to perform all Compassion dates beginning April 1,2007. Scott and Tessa are from
Temple, Ga.and currently preach full time in evangelism.

Ricky states,"Scott is one of Americas most loved and well recieved singers,and Im really glad he and his wife Tess decided to come on board.They are also tremendously talented song writers, both achieving very successful chart topping songs over the past several years, so now we have 3 writers in the group. As our schedules permit, Scott will continue to preach some revivals, and I also will continue to do occational solo dates as I have the last 3 years, but the group tour will continue to be our main focus.I am totally excited about the addition of this family to the group."

Scott and Tessa, replaces the departed Samuel and Labreeska Atkinson, who will be leaving the group to begin a part time duet ministry. Ricky's younger brother,Samuel states, "The schedule of RAC over the past few years is the reasoning behind our decision. We will continue to sing, but on a more limited schedule.We also would love to start a family soon and thats tough on the road.We have enjoyed our time of traveling with Ricky and we wish to say thank you to all the RAC fan and friend support over the last 4 years. Pray for us as we pursue this new venture in our lives."

The brand new RAC album will be available around April 1,2007 when the new members of the group begin touring together.The album will be called, "Borrowed Treasures" and will feature songs that Scott, Tess, and I have written for other groups, songs that we have been a part of over the years.Its a neat concept for our first album and we believe SGM fans are gonna love the new sound, and the songs were putting together for this debut project."

A brand new Ricky Atkinson and Compassion website will be up very soon, so log onto http://www.rickyatkinson.com and watch for the updates and the changes.

I remember Scott from the old Tony Gore and Majesty days, and I am glad to see him joining up with RAC. Ricky Atkinson is no doubt SGM best songwriters and top singers. This should be an awesome listen!! I know I will be watching for them in NC.
