Speaking of the Crabb Family, the group recently completed its new project called "Blur The Lines."
Jason, Adam, Aaron, Kelly (Bowling) and Terah (Penhollow) selected songs for the project based on their favorite all-time hits from southern, praise and worship, gospel, contemporary and classic hymns.
The first single, "Nothing But The Blood," has been released to radio stations.

Several groups have released new radio singles the past three weeks, and I'd advise you to call Kyle at WFSR and make a request for some of these new songs.
"I Will Trust You Lord," by the McKameys, is one of my favorites, along with "Who Am I," by the Perrys; "My Past Has Passed," by the Kingsmen; and "Too Many Times," by Mike Bowling.
"Shoutin' On The Hills," by the Down East Boys has to be an old favorite by many. I haven't heard the Hoppers' new single, "I've Come Too Far," which debuted at No. 23 for March in the Singing News Magazine.
The Toney Brothers have announced the addition of David Robinson, of Morris, Ala., as their new tenor.
Robinson, formerly of the Dixie Echoes, has been traveling with the Toney Brothers since Jan. 10.
"We have never been more excited than we are now with the current lineup in the group," said Terry Toney. "Over the last 30 days, his attitude and abilities have proven to be a perfect fit. We're looking forward to getting in the studio to record with this group."
Troy and Katy Peach, of the trio First Love, announce the birth of twin boys Feb. 16.
Clayton Andrew was 6 pounds and measured 19-inches long, while Shelton Matthew weighed 6 pounds and 6 ounces and measured 19 1/4-inches long.
