Gospel group MidSouth has been a staple on the Southern circuit for almost 20 years. After several members left in 1984, the band's new recruits used their country influences to shift MidSouth's style. 1989's Down to Earth was nominated by the Gospel Music Association for Country Album of the Year and Shoulder to Shoulder (1992) received a Grammy nomination for Country Gospel Album of the Year. The band debuted on the Warner Alliance label on 1994's Give What It Takes; an eponymous release followed in 1996. ~ John Bush, Rovi
