Sunday night with Travis Cottrell & friends
Sophie - August 10, 2009
Last night Travis Cottrell and his praise team led worship at Jackson Way Baptist Church in Huntsville. My husband thought it would be fun for us to make the trip since my mama is visiting us here in Birmingham, and she LOVES to hear "pretty music." Plus, she's never gotten to meet our buddy Travis. So off we went.
The whole night was wonderful - even the part where a certain six year-old who happens to be my child started singing Veggie Tales songs while Travis was singing an a cappella version of "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God" - and we had the best time worshiping with the folks at Jackson Way. After the service we drove by Krispy Kreme and were greeted by a "Hot Donuts Now" sign, so clearly the entire evening was anointed.
Anyway, one fun thing that Travis and the praise team are doing during the "Jesus Saves LIVE" tour is singing some old gospel songs. Somehow I deleted the first two off of my camera, but I managed to leave the last one intact. And before you watch, you should know that I have no idea who that is saying "COME ON" while the guys are singing. I can't imagine who would do such a thing in a house of worship.
(I'm sorry. I seem to have gotten a little something stuck in my throat.)
So here's Travis, Kevin Perry, Seth Ready and Wes Willett. I think I will christen their quartet "Los Cientos" since it was approximately 100 degrees in the sanctuary when they sang this song.
(Oh, I exaggerate. It was actually only 97 degrees. Breezy, really.)
(And Paige Greene, you are going to LOVE this.)
I think they should totally add a little Southern gospel to the worship at Living Proof Live. Maybe Beth could play the fiddle.
And seriously, isn't that SO MUCH FUN?

My favorite part that got me tickled was the “come on.” I truly was hoping there was gonna be more from the “come on” crowd!!!
LOVE IT and yes, that should happen at every event!
Thanks for sharing! Fran

I’m with Fran, I was hoping to hear more from the “come on” crowd!
That song gave me goosebumps despite the fact that the video kept pausing and when I said I was about to punch my laptop if it didn’t quit my husband gently asked me when the last time I rebooted was…and I said never, well at least never in the last 5 days.
Gotta go reboot.

You know…every now and then you just need a little Southern Gospel.
I just e-mailed Travis and told him that a sweet woman at my old church told me that she couldn’t believe that someone would sing that song in church because it was the most inaccurate song biblically that Bill and Gloria had ever written. To which I replied, “Who cares????” :)
Thanks for sharing!

Woooooo!!! LOVE it!!! I saw them in Garden City, SC the night before. The did a couple of old southern gospel songs…they could totally pull off an awesome boy band, don’t you think!?! I love how low Travis voice gets, he’s an incredibly annointed, gifted musician!

Slays me. Mmm. And that “Come on!” was absolutely appropriate and necessary. And I said “Amen!”
