Spring Hill Music Group, in conjunction with RSI Music Group, is scheduled to release the latest recording from acclaimed session and concert musician and vocalist Gordon Mote. One of the most celebrated and sought after piano players on Nashville’s famed Music Row, Gordon’s piano prowess and heartfelt vocals are showcased on Don’t Let Me Miss the Glory, a country/Gospel recording that will hit Christian retailers nationwide on October 23rd.

Co-produced by Gordon alongside industry veteran and award-winning songwriter Phil Johnson, Don’t Let Me Miss the Glory offers a broad view of the multi-faceted talents and styles that have made Gordon a household name among industry insiders and fans alike.

Listeners who recognize Gordon’s contributions to albums by Alan Jackson, Martina McBride, Rascall Flatts and countless other country artists will appreciate the country-tinged tunes and signature piano styling that has become that “Gordon Mote” sound. Gospel listeners will enjoy his down-to-earth approach and uplifting lyrics in addition to his renderings of cover tunes such as I Can’t Even Walk (Without You Holding My Hand) and My Redeemer Is Faithful and True.

The project features a guest appearance from long-time friend and country music veteran Alison Krauss, for whom Gordon plays regularly, as well as Gospel greats The Isaacs, Charlotte Ritchie and The Gaither Vocal Band.

“I’ve been blessed to play on so many releases, varying from Brad Paisley and Kenny Chesney to Bill Gaither and Mark Lowry,” describes Gordon. “In doing my own project, whether I’m playing or singing, it’s fun to get in there and find the heart of who I really am individually. I couldn’t have done that without Phil [Johnson]. He really helped me to know what was ‘me’ and what was ‘me based on others I’ve worked with.’”

Perhaps the fact that Gordon has been blind since birth has given him his unique sense of “seeing music” through eyes of his own, whatever the genre. Country listeners can anticipate the heartfelt first single Wake Up Dancin’, an endearing song about a grandfather talking to his grandchild just before passing away; and the first Gospel single, Mercy Walked In, is already turning heads in the southern Gospel marketplace.

“There are church environments that Gordon plays that want a more formal sound, and there are arenas that call for ‘hand-clappin’ and ‘foot-stompin’ numbers,” states Bob Rodgers, RSI Music Group president. “Don’t Let Me Miss the Glory brings with it the grandeur of orchestration on some songs as well as the ‘toe-tappin’’ sounds of a Gaither Homecoming event… but all of it is a part of the musicianship that is uniquely Gordon.”

That musicianship has taken Gordon to more than 50 markets during the past six months with upcoming dates in Canada and throughout the Unites States. Gordon was a featured vocalist nationwide over the summer when he played with DOVE nominees Ernie Haase & Signature Sound in addition to special dates ongoing with artists such as Alison Krauss and Porter Wagner. He will play and sing throughout the fall in major market arenas as part of the world-renowned Gaither Homecoming tour on which he has become a staple artist.

“We have long been fans of Gordon’s music,” states Vice-President of Spring Hill Music Group Paul Sizelove. “He has not only proven himself to be one of the most sought after piano players in the country music world and entertained tens of thousands alongside Bill Gaither, but he is also a fine vocalist and communicator with a genuine spirit that comes across in the passion heard on this release.”

Gordon has been nominated in recent years for both Musician of the Year at the Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards and also for a GMA DOVE Award.
