Tim and Tedd Graves were in the studio September 19, starting to work on the first Graves Brothers project. Tim states “Tedd and I have talked about doing a project together for a long time now but the timing hasn’t ever been right”. The two brothers have been able to work several dates together this year and have started booking shows for 2010 to support the new record. The recording will feature some old standards as well as new songs written by Tedd Graves. The expected release for the new project is set for early spring 2010.

C& L Recording Artist Corey Brooks Is Proud To Announce:


Love Me Anyway

Hits No. 1 on U.S. Christian Charts for the month of August



Nashville, TN - July 23, 2009 - GMA Dove Nominated recording artist Corey Brooks', new hit song "Love Me Anyway" now sits at the #1 position on the U.S. top 100 charts. In just four short months this highly acclaimed song has moved faster than any of Corey's past singles. Corey would like to thank all of his fans who requested this song and all the radio stations that are playing it. He is humbled by the success of this song and knows that God is using it to reach people. "That's what it's all about!" exclaims Corey.



"I think the honesty of this song is what brings people in," Corey states, "It's a reminder that in spite of our failures, flaws, doubts and weaknesses that He still loves us anyway. Even though my sin is what nailed Him to the cross, He still bore it. All He asks from us, His creation, is that we put our trust in Him as our Lord and Savior."
 

I am the thorn in Your crown


I am the sweat from Your brow


I am the nail in Your wrist


I am Judas’ kiss


But You love me anyway.
