Singer-songwriter Morgan Rhoads and his band played the bars and honky-tonks of northern California in the 1980's. He honed his songwriting skills in 1990's Nashville, writing with such accomplished songwriters as Russell Smith, Gary Scruggs, and Aaron Barker. His latest CD of original songs, Country Gospel, incorporates influences from Bluegrass to Blues but is all gospel. For the recording of this CD, Morgan enlisted the help of long-time friend and collaborator, Danny Parks. A former member of Mel Tillis' Statesiders, and veteren Nashville session player, Danny has played with everyone from Dickey Betts to The Time Jumpers, had top 10 singles on four different instruments, and is currently playing in the Grand Ol' Opry house band while continuing his amazing studio work. Jimmy Carter and Duncan Mullins added their expertise on bass, with Duncan doing double duty on drums on three tracks.

 On "HE GAVE US HIS WORD" Morgan is joined by Danny, Duncan (on bass and drums), and the illustrious Michael Lusk on background vocals. Morgan was born into a musical family. His father was a horse trainer and cattle rancher who played guitar and sang. Both grandfathers were farmers, and family get-togethers were always singing and picking events. Cousin 'Tex' Hatcher even made it into the California Swing Music Hall of Fame. God, family, and country living are in Morgan's heart and in his music.
