Yeah, what makes the change in Rice's appearance more dramatic is his
shedding of those little round glasses. Most people haven't mentioned the
glasses, but I think that made as just as much of a change as the hair.
I was at a concert a few weeks ago, and the guy next to me swore it wasn't
Arthur on stage. I kept saying, "But he's the right height and build, and it
sounds too much like him to be anyone else." I wish now I had offered to bet
him some cash on it!
What I couldn't believe was that as much as the Kingdom Heirs love to cut up
and crack jokes on each other, nothing was mentioned about Rice's new hair.
What's funny about their new CD artwork is that on the back cover, Rice's
new hair is parted on the opposite side from the way it appears on the front
cover. Someone on another message board suggested that perhaps he didn't
actually have the hair when the picture was taken and they added it
digitally after the fact. :o)

David, most likely, the problem was a reversed negative. You'd be surprised
how often that happens.

Not to change the point of this post, but the biggest change in Arthur Rice
was in his voice. The thinness in his voice is gone. I had noticed this
before, but was reminded of it yesterday when I listened to a Squire Parsons
reunion tape that featured Ernie, Squire, Arthur, and Joe Fowler.

FWIW, I think it makes him look a few years older...

I'm way ahead of you on this one. :o)
To be honest, that's exactly what I thought originally. If that were the
case, though, the other guys would also be reversed. It's hard to tell about
the hairstyles of most of the guys, but Rice's hair is combed the same
direction as Stice's on the back cover, opposite on the front cover. Also I
noticed that David Sutton's right jaw is a little bit fatter than his left
on both shots. I tried to look for other more obvious asymetrical things
like rings and watches, but then I finally saw the clincher staring me in
the face: their coats are buttoned the same direction in both photos. Men's
suit coats always button with the left side overlapping the right, so
there's no way the negative itself was simply reversed.

too much time on your hands <G>

Maybe so, but I'm a detail kind of guy. And it was the CD covers, not the
SNews photos. :o)

new CD.

Well, I really haven't been blown away by any of the other Kingdom Heirs'
studio projects since _Anchored_, but I do like this one quite a bit. I like
it much more than Brian Free's new recording, to compare it with another new
release.
I really like the song "More Than You'll Ever Know." After listening to the
CD a couple of times, it was that song that kept running through my mind.
I'd have picked it for a first single over "I've Been Rescued." I also think
"The Depths Of A Father's Love" is a solid quartet number.
I love the light jazz stuff on "He'll See You Through," and was glad to see
the producer allow Stice to play on that one. Precision notwithstanding, I
think it's stupid to have a guy like Stice in the band and rarely use him on
studio projects. One reason studio projects get to sounding stale sometimes
is because they always use the same players. I didn't even have to look at
the liner notes when listening to the CD the first time. I immediately knew
it was Stice instead of Collins on that song.
Now, "Come On, Let's Go To That Land" is one I'm not so fond of hearing,
just because it's styled too much like "I Love To Call On Jesus' Name,"
which has been done to death. Bennett does fine on the recording, but it's
the type of style where one song will go a long way.

Do you know if that is the same song written by Phil Johnson that the
Imperials recorded in the early 1970s featuring tenor Jim Murray?

To be as clear as possible in answering your question, I'll say, "Yes, I
know" and "No, it isn't." :o)
The Kingdom Heirs song was written relatively recently by Rodney Griffin. I
did wonder if he had listened to the Johnson song before writing this one,
though, because the feel and general message of both songs are similar. Both
songs feature the tenor. Both have rich harmony. Both songs are also the
type that stick in your head, for some reason. I think with the Imperials,
it's the three part vocal glissando they do twice that makes the song stand
out. With the Kingdom Heirs song, it's one of those that starts sofly and
builds to a big, dramatic ending.
Despite the similarities, the lyrics are completely different, so Griffin
didn't "rip off" Johnson, or anything like that.
Norman Graham
and compare with the Imperials one. I know songs often have he same title
(there is a pop song called More) but I'm a little surprised the new song
has the extract long title as the old one -- More than You'll Ever Know.
