专辑简介

Gospel artists, James Crowley and the Top Hat Orchestra, have come together to create a sound all their own, combining the high energy of swing and a touch of vintage rock ‘n roll, all rolled together with the traditional sounds of Gospel. Their debut CD, entitled Inspire, will be released on June 14th, 2011, and will contain such favorites as My Tribute; His Eye Is On the Sparrow; He’s Alive!; Precious Lord, Take My Hand, as well as the new song, favored to be the hit of the album, Be Still.

The idea of the top hat started by accident when James first began doing concerts. During the performances, he would keep a top hat on stage, then toss it into the audience after his final song.. As time went on, the people who caught those hats would return for future concerts and bring their hats with them. Eventually, James Crowley's fans became known as Top Hatters, and it's a tradition that continues to this day. Finally, in 2010, he founded the Top Hat Orchestra. So, if you find yourself at one of their concerts, keep an eye out for the flying top hat!
