The appointed time has come for The Brown Sisters, who refer to themselves as “undignified worshippers who worship God in spirit and in truth.” The Brown Sisters have been singing professionally for almost 20 years but they have never released a CD – that is until now. Kingdom Records – home to the gold-selling Shekinah Glory Ministry – will release their debut CD The Brown Sisters Live in Chicago on June 30, 2009.
The Chicago natives have enthralled audiences around the globe with their warm harmonies and spontaneous worship. They’ve shared the stage with Aretha Franklin, Bobby McFerrin, Marvin Sapp and Shirley Caesar among others. Now, they are taking center stage with their reverential radio single “Awesome God” that is getting played on gospel radio stations across the country.
The Brown Sisters’ debut CD (recorded live at Freedom Baptist Church in Hillside, IL) is a mixture of contemporary praise and worship songs. Tracks like “King of Glory” create a venerational atmosphere of worship. “Abide” is up-tempo and uplifting. The set also features lively contemporary numbers such as the soulful “Ain’t Nothin’ Like This But This” that features a smooth R&B style similar to another legendary Chicago sister act, the Emotions. “Hold On” cracks with an old school quartet vibe, while “Sing Unto the Lord” boasts a Latin flavor. Then, there are urgent ballads such as “You Reign Lord” and the majestic “Awesome God” which can easily stand alongside praise anthems such as Richard Smallwood’s “Center of My Joy” or Kirk Franklin’s “The Reason Why We Sing.”
The road to this momentous live recording began when the sisters were children. The Brown Sisters are with Southern Illinois Jurisdiction, Bishop Hugh E. Cawthone Sr. The CD will be released on June 30, 2009. We will arrive at the AIM Convention on July 1, 2009.
