Internationally renowned and celebrated, Kurt Carr is one of the brightest jewels in the crown of Gospel music.

His 7th CD, “Just the Beginning,” was released recently and has debuted at #2 on Billboard’s Gospel Albums chart.

The CD, on Sony/BMG, is also #5 on iTunes’ Christian/Gospel sales chart and appears on Billboard’s Top-100 albums chart, which is a rare fete for a Gospel artist.

Additionally, the first single “Peace & Favor Rest Upon Us” is a high performer at radio and this week is #1 most added as well as #3 most increased spins.

“I am really excited,” says Carr who is currently on the final leg of a major market promotional tour. “I am so grateful that even though I’ve been away a few years, people have not forgotten about me. I have greatly enjoyed producing for other artists, who I really admire, but it is great to be back and making music with the wonderful Kurt Carr Singers and I thank everyone for their support.”

Kurt Carr has penned numerous number one songs, including the ubiquitous “In the Sanctuary” which has been translated into nine different languages, re-recorded by 20 different acts and is a Sunday morning favorite at churches around the globe.

Since his 2005 release “One Church,” Carr has helmed numerous projects including “I Never Lost My Praise” the critically acclaimed “comeback” CD for the legendary Tramaine Hawkins and Bishop Paul Morton’s powerful “Still Standing.”

Kurt Carr and The Kurt Carr Singers reunited to record “Just the Beginning,” a powerful opus of good ol' church music with Carr’s trademark cross-generational, cross-cultural appeal.

“Just the Beginning” is in stores now.
