Ricky Atkinson and Compassion announces the departure of Scott and Tessa Thomas. After much prayer and many discussions, RAC has decided to take a different path of ministry. Due to the great demand for Ricky's solo dates and scheduling conflicts, we have all agreed it would be better if we pursued our ministry goals separately. We will remain close friends and very supportive of each other's ministries." Ricky Atkinson states," I greatly appreciate Scott and Tessa and their willingness to help me in transition in 2007, and working with me over the last 7 months. They are my friends and I truly wish them well in the future."

Joining Ricky on stage, the new line-up for Ricky Atkinson and Compassion will be Loren Harris (formerly of the Perrys and Wilburns) and Greg Cook (formerly of Tony Gore and Majesty and the Florida Boys), two of Southern Gospel Music's most individually talented singers, favorite personalities, and industry wide well known voices.

Ricky Atkinson, owner/manager of RAC states, "I am SO excited to have these two awesomely talented men join me for the RAC bookings... I don't need to go into how great they are... Most everyone who knows anything about southern gospel music, know these two guys are household names. They have their own unique style and sound, and also come with a huge radio following and exciting fan base."

Ricky adds, " I have numerous solo dates scheduled for 2008 and I am thankful God allows me to minister in a more personal environment. With the recent changes I have the opportunity to stage those major RAC dates with a tremendously powerful lineup and I am certainly blessed with two of the very best!" It is very important that RAC wants to be clear on the goals of this group and each individual situation involving these guys.

They all have first obligation and priority in their home churches as ministers of music, administrators, etc... so scheduling will be limited and very carefully observed. Family and church first, then singing is the way we feel it should be and thats the way we want it.
Booking will remain in house and can be scheduled by contacting the RAC office phones found at the website or email @ http://www.rickyatkinson.com
