Music Review and Interview with Pastor Reese
Reese, an up and coming gospel singer, hailing from Carrollton, Alabama, has an anointed voice that has been touched by God himself. His ability to be versatile in his singing allows him to reach all age groups with spiritual praise and uplift.

Music Review:
After a slow summer in Carrollton, the music scene is re-emerging as fall is just around the corner. Local hangout spots are reviving with live music and patronage seeking the different sounds of Carrollton music.
However, the state boasts a much broader music scene than merely the home of the famous “Muscle Shoals Sound”; musicians including Hank Williams, Nat King Cole, and the Louvin Brothers; and more recent ones including Matthew Houck of Phosphorescent, A.A. Bondy, most of the Drive-By Truckers, The Dexateens, sisters Shelby Lynne and Allison Moorer, and Katie Crutchfield of Waxahatchee all share a connection with the Yellowhammer State.
So, let’s talk about Pastor Reese and his hit new single ” I won’t complain” – There is a great sense of momentum with this track and a great burst of rich soulfulness. It’s consistently impressive and enjoyable body of work that has been recorded and produced to perfection.
Overall, our hope is that this will lead to the widespread recognition Pastor Reese deserves, though I think will be best appreciated by people who know true musical class when they hear it. I recommend that everyone gives it a good listen, you’ll be rewarded for your time!
