The album launches today, Aug. 11, with the release of its first single, “I Just Feel Like Something Good Is About to Happen,” which the Gaithers penned in 1992, in a new recording featuring Angela Primm and Amy Perry of Selah, along with the voices of the hundreds who joined the Homecoming. Sandi Patty, Janet Paschal, Jimmy Fortune, Mark Lowry, Wes Hampton, Reggie Smith, Wyatt Austin, Adam Crabb, The Martins and The Isaacs are among the featured artists joining the Gaithers.
