Alvin Darling’s enviable music resume includes a Pentecostal upbringing and time spent as a member of a gospel quartet. He digs deep into both experiences on “Nobody But the Lord,” the first single from his upcoming full-length release My Blessing is on the Way, due out April 17.
Darling and Celebration give the mid-tempo “Nobody” true “country church” treatment. Celebration deftly navigates a mouthful of lyrics with a surgeon’s precision, answering Darling’s quartet-honed baritone exclamations with delight. The result is old-fashioned vocal jubilation marinated to perfection in 21st Century production techniques.
