#1 Hit Single for The Erwins

Award-winning StowTown recording artists THE ERWINS are marking another milestone in an acclaimed career with their single, “The God I Know,” reaching #1 on The Singing News Power 50 Weekly Chart. Penned by Jason Cox and Kenna Turner West, and featured on the group’s bestselling release This Is Love, the song held the chart’s top position recently.

“The God I Know” is the highest-charting single in The Erwins’ history, and adds to the growing list of honors the family ensemble has received in the last year alone: a GRAMMY Award nomination for What Christmas Really Means; a Dove Award for Southern Gospel Recorded Song of the Year for “The Power Of An Empty Tomb”; and a collaboration with the legendary Fisk Jubilee Singers.

“Every night on stage when we sing ‘The God I Know,’ we are able to experience its impact,” said Keith Erwin. “And now, as we hear about the song encouraging radio listeners, we can only praise the Lord for the fruit He’s bringing. It all points back to Christ. We are thankful for the opportunity to sing ‘The God I Know,’ and are so grateful that the message it brings is helping and ministering to people.”

Texas-family group, The Erwins, return with 8 brand new songs on this studio recording. The opening “All of My Help” has already been released a single. The song showcases the great harmonies and lead vocals that The Erwins have become known for over the years.  The following “Already on His Way God” features some good brass sounds, but it’s those harmonies, again, that are the highlight of “The Blood of Jesus.” It’s a country ballad, akin to the likes of Lonestar at their best, with a great orchestral production. Similarly, “The God I Know” is just as powerful, both in its lyrics and vocal delivery. As is often the case with gospel groups, I’m a little disappointed in an album that is so short in length. I guess, its quality that counts, as opposed to quantity. Certainly, most of the songs on show are of quality. “The Story Ends” has a radio-friendly feel about it, while the title track has a touch of latter-day Dolly Parton about it! Looking back, there was only one song that I wasn’t keen on, but what I did like, left me wanting more.   9/10.

The Erwins Release “This is Love” Album

This Is Love, the highly anticipated new studio recording from GRAMMY-nominated, Dove Award-winning StowTown recording group THE ERWINS, has now been released. The eight-song collection showcases a genre-spanning sound which has quickly become synonymous with the Texas-based siblings.

Hallmarked by The Erwins’ tight family harmonies wrapped in modern musical influences, This Is Love was produced and arranged by Wayne Haun and features tracks penned by Kenna Turner West, Joseph Habedank, Sue Smith, Tony Wood, Dixie Phillips and Kevin Winebarger, among others.

Debut single “The God I Know” is a soaring ballad proclaiming Christ’s peace to a pandemic-weary world, “The God I Know” embodies the project’s thematic inspiration found in 1 Corinthians 13:13, “And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.”

“We’ve bathed each of these songs in prayer as we selected and recorded them,” Keith Erwin shares. “It’s essential for us to consider three things with every project we record: we want to make sure Christ is magnified and glorified; that the sound of the album is authentic and something we personally enjoy; and that there’s a song for everyone. No matter someone’s age or what they’re facing in life, we hope our music reminds people of how much Jesus loves and cares for them.”
