Ride by Durant

Durant. They're young, talented, great singers... and almost half of them have Lancaster as their last name. Need to know anything else? Seriously, this is one of the most promising up and coming groups in the a capella world, not just the gospel end of things. Their first album, Ride, proves it. If you're a fan of any of the groups from the Acappella Company, you may well recognize some of the songs on this album. But Durant gives them all a fresh touch, and a good one at that. You will not be disappointed with this album. From beginning to end, Ride is an entertaining and uplifting album with everything from Acappella Company classics to new arrangements of folk and pop songs. Each of the seven members has a unique voice which blends nicely with all the others, creating a solid group dynamic capitalizing on the wide variety of vocal styles. From the Southern Gospel "River Medley" to the slow groove of "People Get Ready" to the pure energy of "Without Love" and "Ride the Chariot," Durant exhibits versatility and musicianship in every note. They even include a cover of "Thank You" by Boyz II Men and a beautiful arrangement of the praise song "As the Deer," just in case they didn't have enough variety already! Ride also comes with the first edition of Durant:The Comic, as well as a track of hilarious outtakes from the recording studio which provides a glimpse into the personalities of Durant. Ride has a style for everyone, so pick up your copy today! Listen to the short MP3's below and see what we mean. Enjoy the Ride... ℗ 2007 Durant
