Preview: Word Records / CSG Showcase

Everyone is heading over to the Word Records / Central South Gospel showcase, slated for this afternoon. The buzz continues that this is where we'll hear confirmation of Karen Clark-Sheard's signing to the newly-rejuvenated Gospel division of the established label. Singing will be urban group Generation J, and also Chicago group Fortitude (who deliver their label debut on August 24/04), along with Ted & Sheri, who release their sophomore album in October. The Ted & Sheri release is said to include special guests Walter Hawkins and Yvette Flunder, on a Hawkins remake cut.
