And the winner is…
April 24, 2008
…not most of the folks we were pulling for. But Atlanta didn’t lay a complete goose egg at last night’s GMA Dove Awards.
Seth Condrey won for Spanish Language Album of the Year.
Ricardo Sanchez’ song Say So, recorded by Israel Houghton, won Contemporary Gospel Recorded Song of the Year.
And, together, Mark Hall and Casting Crowns landed 4 Doves for: Song of the Year, Group of the Year, Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year, and Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year.
How about a little love for these guys? And for the other A-town nominees (see previous post). It is, as they say, an honor to be nominated. Give it up here.
