Brice Henderson was born and raised in Maryland (a
suburb of Washington D.C.) He was instilled with a love of
music from an early age with the radio always on in the
kitchen. Brice says that he first learned to play the radio
and then the guitar. After playing in several high school
bands, Henderson moved to Fort Collins, Colorado where he
became involved in the local club scene. In 1977 Henderson
packed up and headed out to Nashville, where he found it
tough to become established. Finally BMI hooked Brice up
with Scott Tutt in 1981 and things began to happen.
Brice Henderson's first album yielded 3 Top 100
singles and he was one of Billboard's Top Ten New Country
Acts in 1983. In 1986 Brice produced a Gospel album and a
little while later the opportunity came to join the newly
formed Rosebud Records.
Brice Henderson and Rosebud Records now have a long
established working relationship, with Talk Of The Town
being Henderson's most recent release. New Christian Music
and Gospel Music is much in demand in the USA and with Talk
Of The Town, Brice Henderson offers 12 tracks very much in
this vein. Henderson either writes or co-writes several of
the songs here and Rosebud's own Vera and Fate Vanderpool
contribute the title track and "We Will All
Rejoice". With story-telling at its best and a
background of mandolin, piano, crying dobro and fiddle
"Talk Of The Town" tells of a young man who died
high on a lonely hill with two thieves by his side. Another
sensitive story-song tells of the desperation and
tribulations of today's youth with "Never Had A
Prayer". Cyndia and John Wendell (who have collaborated
with the songwriting of our own Sue James and Lorna Flowers)
along with George Pruitt lend the up-beat "When You Get
On The Rock".
Talk Of The Town embraces some highly talented
musicians with a top class production. Brice Henderson has a
voice that prickles the back of the neck as he closes the
album with the traditional hymnal "How Great Thou
Art". At times life can be a little difficult, with
Brice Henderson and Talk Of The Town we have the offering of
a little Christian love to raise the spirits under a gospel
banner.
