Vickie Winans
From the forthcoming Destiny Joy Records album
How I Got Over (available August 25, 2009)

Gospel music veteran and fashionista Vickie Winans weaves her personal testimony into the classic “How I Got Over,” a liberating, hard-charging, uptempo performance guaranteed to bring congregants to their feet and clapping along.
Background vocalists give 110 percent with staccato responses to Vickie’s lead. Her 21 year-old nephew Tim Bowman, Jr. cameos with a jazz scat that doubles as an instrumental break while giving the traditional song a “21st Century” makeover.
“How I Got Over” is Vickie’s best traditional performance since covering Calvin White’s “As Long As I Got King Jesus” for her 1997 Live in Detroit (CGI Records).
