Anderson reverend shares memories of his gospel group, Truth & Devotion
ANDERSON — Many religious leaders have lovely voices. But the sounds that poured out of Friendship Missionary Baptist Church on Easter Sunday were beyond lovely: They were heavenly.
According to Holy Grail Records Co-Founder Derek “Kas” Kastal, it was the brainchild of Dewayne Johnson. “This guy – people would hire him to come and do Al Green. He favored him and his voice was a lot like Al Green,” Dr. Woodall said. “Garland – he was a percussion extraordinaire with all the chimes and bells. And this is the drummer I was telling you about: James Dixon. Short in stature but he was tall on those drums. He played some heavy drums.”
A lack of marketing alongside financial troubles in Tyscot’s early years caused the album to fall into obscurity. With the newfound attention, the price of the original “Heaven at Last” record has skyrocketed. WRTV tracked down a copy at Shangri La Records in Memphis, Tenn., that totes a price tag of about $250.“It feels good. I am just – in retrospect thinking – like, where were all these people then? Why couldn’t this have happened when we were 30 years old?” Dr. Woodall said.
