After four long years the wait is finally over. Verity Records is pleased to present Journeys: Live in New York, the brand new recording from gospel's premier maestro, Richard Smallwood.

Smallwood fans from across the board are certain to be delighted by this thrilling aural testament to a magical evening in New York City. Filled with promising new material, this release is a soon-to-be classic with the signature Richard Smallwood melodies, harmonies, and orchestral arrangements that listeners have come to expect and adore. Smallwood's musical genius blurs the lines between live audience and taped recording, transporting the listener to the actual event, rather than a spectator's position. And, just as always, a rich and vibrant choir backs Smallwood to bring his songs to life. Any witness to the power of this record will be hard-pressed to stay in their chair and maintain a dry eye.

While Richard Smallwood has been noticeably absent from the gospel music scene, he has not been far from his calling. Currently pursuing a master's degree in divinity to complement his bachelor's degree in piano and vocal performance, Smallwood is equally well-versed in melody and lyrical content and, as such, knows how to make both elements converge to create the perfect song. He's used those talents in his previous Verity album releases to celebrate Adoration for the Lord, urge listeners to Rejoice in Jesus' good name, concentrate on Healing audiences by advocating appreciation for God and his abundant kindnesses, and Persuaded us all of the glory of his benevolence. This summer, Richard Smallwood shows us how life's Journeys, no matter, where they take us, bring us all to God.

Journey: Live In New York also boasts guest appearances by the creme de la creme of a wide range of musical genres. Chaka Khan takes the microphone on "Oh How Precious," while Kelly Price encourages the soul with "Morning Is Breaking." The Hawkins Family, including Walter, Edwin, Tramaine, and Lynette reunite on "Come Too Far." Kim Burrell escort us along the "Journey," and in a moment steeped in nostalgia, The Original Smallwood Singers render "Holy Holy" and "He Won't Leave You."
