Recorded at Crossroads Studios, Arden, NC
Produced by Danny Crawford
Label – Sonlite Records
This is the CD that is going to get The Daryl Williams Trio noticed by the entire Southern Gospel industry. No only are there ten great songs on here that Daryl has written, but they are performed in such a way that radio and the public are going to have to stand up and take notice.
The CD opens with the first radio release, “Somebody Left The Door Open,” and it is a barnstormer. “All I Ever Need” has a neat pop sound and features Daryl and Karen Williams. You can just sit back and close your eyes and get a blessing from this cut. “We Have A Cross” is a nice ballad featuring the Baritone, Aaron Rich. This is one of those songs that you can just get lost in praise and worship. One of my favorites on this CD is “He Got Up From The Grave.” The message of this song will cause you to put on your shoutin’ shoes. This cut would go well for radio.
Another of my favorites is “One Holy Morning.” Take off those shoutin’ shoes and put on your dancin’ shoes for this song. When the fact dawns on you that “One Holy Morning” he gave up the grave, you will be dancing. As this group sings about the holy morning that the stone was rolled away you may just put those shoutin’ shoes back on for a while.
But, my very favorite song on this CD is the progressive sounding “Too Late For Lazarus.” The track has a little “funk” to it, but don’t let that scare you, because Karen Williams delivers this song with style. This may be the best song on the whole album. If they don’t release this song to radio, it will be a shame.
Other great songs include “Old Fashioned Altar Call”, “When He Takes His Turn”, “Wonders Never Cease” and the old Speer Family song, “Turn Your Radio On.”
This is without a doubt the best Daryl Williams Trio CD yet. Daryl's songwriting on this CD is worth it alone, but the vocal majesty of their delivery is what sells this CD. You owe it to yourself to get a copy of this one.

I like this CD! "Too Late for Lazarus" - absolutely! Karen, you go girl! I like too many of the songs to try to mention each one - Daryl didn't do half bad with the writing and I guess we're just stuck with Aaron...
Sally, I would definitely say that's one of the nicest things anyone has ever said about me! I'm glad you all are stuck with me too!
This project is totally amazing! When I get a project it is usually in my car CD player for a few days then I take it out and throw it in the back only to get it out every once and awhile to listen to 1 or 2 songs that I think are good off of the project. But, that's not the case with this project. For over a month this CD has went with me wherever I go. It is in my headset when I'm on the air plane and at the gym. It is in my car CD player when I'm on the road...it is everywhere! And it's not a CD that I just listen to 1 or 2 cuts...EVERY song is great. It appeals to all ages. It's a favorite of my gramdma's, my friends, and my cousin (who is 9). The Daryl Williams Trio (or is that Wilson, Karen?) really out did thereselves with this project! It is a must have for everyone!
This is the most awesome CD! I listen to it while driving down the road. What a tremendous anointed project. It is difficult for me to actually get out of my car because I don't want to leave this beautiful music. If you are looking to purchase a new project in the next 2 months, you should let it be "Music In the Air". It will bless your socks off! My favorite two songs are "He Got Up From the Grave and "One Holy Morning"
Can't wait to hear this project and hear our song, All I Ever Need.
We're pleased and excited to welcome the Daryl Williams Trio to the Crossroads family. Prior to their signing, I promoted several of Daryl's songs we singled on other artists (Talley Trio, Ivan Parker, Mended Wings, Jake Hess) and quickly became a fan and admirer of his songwriting ability and output. Now I get to promote the man himself! And of course, his lovely Karen and their son Aaron, too.
Is this the bash Aaron board??? I can handle being "stuck with," but calling me Daryl's son is just taking it too far Jim!!! But I guess as they say... no press is bad press, but sometimes it can be a little depressing!
You're not their son???
Yeah, Tim, he looks just like Daryl. LOL
Ya know.... now that you mention it, Deon, he does. haha haha Daryl is way to young though, may be brothers. He could be Karen's though.
I am elated for the release of this project, and the opportunity to review it is fantastic. The DWT's latest cd has songs for both a younger and older generations. I enjoying seeing a writer's talent, and Daryl Williams has truly been blessed by God. I must admit I am glad to hear the harmonies flowing very well with the addition of a new member, and one of the best songs to hear that melodic flow is "We Have The Cross." It was a pleasure to hear the Spear family adding their talents to the mix in the song, "Turn Your Radio On," but I must acknowledge that I tend to lean to the "jazzier" style. Still, one of my favorite songs on the ablum has to be "Old Fashion Altar Call." It reminds me of a more traditional gospel era. I suggest all rush to the DWT website and put in a request for this latest installment of the Daryl Williams Trio. It will bless you and your family. So, as a conclusion, I am very excited about what is going to happen in this upcoming year. May God bless and protect this group, and shower His favor and indulgences upon them.
Kudos to the Daryl Williams Trio!
I've been a gospel music fan for years and must agree that this cd has one great song after another. Many times I will enjoy three or four songs on a cd but on this project I love them all.
Karen, I got a copy of the CD from your mom and dad a couple of weeks ago,when they were here in CA. I haven't stopped listening to it! It was such a blessing! I work for a christian facility and we play the CD alot! In fact, there is a very large group here that would love to go and see you all. So please let us know when your in this area! Lots of Love, Ronda Jennings
