More on 25 Years & Ordering CDs Mary Evans: Happy With Jesus Alone Mary Emma Evans has been compared to Ethel Waters and Mahalia Jackson. "The way I'm feeling is the way I sing," she says. Mary brings all of her self--her childhood, her cultural heritage, the many challenges she has faced as a female pastor, and the long love of her husband and family--into this very powerful praise music. Evans grew up on a farm in North Carolina, the youngest of nine children. She has long been widely known in the northern Piedmont region of North Carolina as an outstanding preacher and a special minister to the marginalized. More recently Pastor Evans was elected to the Henderson, NC City Council where her work for social justice has found a new arena. Produced by Minnow Media with support from RCWMS. Song for Us All: Lise Uyanik and the Mobile City Band This is the 25th anniversary CD from a North Carolina institution. Seventeen cuts include originals and covers, rock, R&B, and acoustic. A great dancing record from a group of Baby Boomers you won't forget. Produced by Minnow Media with support from RCWMS. To order, visit the Minnow Media website at www.minnowmedia.net.
