Hovie's Finale: The Making of Hovie Lister's Last Recording "Well boys, that's three down and nine to go. Charlie could we take a short break? I need to rest just a minute." These words spoken by Hovie Lister will always echo in my mind each time I hear this recording. I was honored to be here in a recording studio with the king and master showman of Gospel Music - a man I had admired since my early childhood. I once told my mother while watching Singing Time In Dixie that I wanted to be in gospel music one day. Never did I dream I would be in business with Hovie Lister, let alone produce his last recording. Not since the Masters V recordings in the early eighties has Hovie played on a studio recording. Defying death by seventeen days, he was determined. If you can imagine, some had him convinced he couldn't play anymore! Maybe they will listen to this recording of a man, who with one foot in glory trying to get a glimpse of what's over on the other side, and the other foot in a recording studio in Atlanta, Georgia, sealing his legacy with a recording that would send him out in a true Statesmen style. How well he did! In Hovie's words, "Great production!" nuff-said. Charlie Waller Featuring these timeless classics: |
