Though his doctrinal and political stances may be questioned, he is by far one of the greatest writers of southern gospel.. "When dust shall sing" "lazarus come forth"(bishops) I'm gonna move" (isaacs) "He means the world to me"(phill cross) Just to name a few. How could Larry Petree not be mentioned.

But another name that should be mentioned - Lori Kelley Woods ("Quitting Never Crossed My Mind," "At The End Of My Hope"). Both the Dixie Melody Boys and the Ruppes have used some of her songs. But I'm sure there are others. I agree that Adam Kohout and Terry Wilkins don’t get enough credit.

I, and the others you have mentioned, are rarely among the "Ann Dothers" these days. But while that's true in regard to reviews and press releases, non-singing songwriters are still less likely to be recognized in most award show settings (even though their songs may be nominated) - which we totally understand because those are based on fan awareness. I was holding up the SGN Music Awards as an example of how an organization could, and I believe should, acknowledge some behind-the-scenes contributors who otherwise get passed over. There will always be new "Ann Dothers" on the horizon. With time, experience, and repeated success in the market, hopefully they too will graduate from that status.
