“Every Time I Think About”
Jimmy Russell and BOC (Because of Christ)
From the CD “Live” (self-released) 2007
Available at CD Baby: cdbaby.com/cd/jrussellboc

Jimmy Russell and BOC tore up an early session of the Gospel Announcers Guild gathering at this year’s GMWA with “Every Time I Think About.” The recorded version, featuring the straightforward vocals of Dr. Betty Minus, does not pack quite the same wallop as it did live — recordings seldom do — but nevertheless, it’s a fine traditional-flavored pick-me-up worth hearing in any format.
