MONTE STEPHENS
BIO
THE GHOST IS BACK! After a ten-year absence from the studio, Stephens is releasing
his new album "TIME". His 1994 "OUT OF HIS SIDE" album gave him TWO # 1 hits
and six songs made the international TOP 20. Nominated for "Album Of The Year"
"Songwriter and Veteran Vocalist Of The Year" and won the "Horizon Award" and
disappeared once again from the music scenic.
Now the ghost is back! With the recording of "TIME", many in the music industry say it
is Stephens'' best to date. Nashville engineer Ken Isham who has over 30 years
experience at the mixing board said, "after this project was completed, I would find
myself getting out of bed at night and going to the studio and listening to it again. In my
view it''s one of those recordings that wins awards." Freedom Records producer Gerri''
Dee said, "looking at the world of music through Monte''s windshield is a challenge, but I
was blessed to be apart of the creative process."
Called the "godfather of Christian country music", Stephens has been writing and
performing his country style of gospel music three decades before the Christian Country
Music Association was formed in Nashville. "TIME" has been in the making for three
years, picking songs Stephens has written over a four-decade span of time. Monte also
chose a couple of songs written by two dear friends, Sammy Ammons and D. Royce
Baird, both of which have had gold and platinum ink flow from their pens. Know to
include on his recordings a gospel classic, Monte chose Ronnie Hinson''s "When He Was
On The Cross." Hinson upon hearing Monte''s vocal performance of his classic said, "I
loved his vocal phrasing, Monte truly made the song his own.
Quoting the remarks of others about one of gospel music''s "unique stylists" is totally
insufficient. The album "TIME" must be heard, to experience the spiritual journey
through music Monte will take you. I walked away with the feeling "what a ride."
