“The bass position in Southern Gospel music is an esteemed one indeed. A rich heritage of men such as; "Big Chief" Wetherington, Bill Lyles, JD Sumner, Rex Nelon, Brock Speer, and George Younce to name a few. Such men have produced decades of music and ultimate low notes that have even made their way into the record books, quite literally. Gene McDonald's path to being counted among such esteemed gentleman is not likely one you'll expect as you read along. And yet his story is one that, we believe, resonates within the heart of many.......See FULL ARTICLE (Page 54)”

“In a Christian music genre long noted for its bass singers, I have often heard old-timers comment that there will never be another one like so-and-so. While great bass singers such as Aycel Soward, Jim "Big Chief" Wetherington, Bill Lyles, J. D. Sumner, Brock Speer, George Younce and Rex Nelon remain inimitable, a number of talented vocalists today are meeting the high standards set by southern gospel's pioneering bass singers, and one of the most notable of these is Homeland Records' Gene McDonald. A quote from....Wes Hampton, a member of the Grammy Award-winning Gaither Vocal Band, was all too eager to share his thoughts, and boldly asserted, "Gene is, in my opinion, the best bass singer I've ever heard. Taking away the fact that he's a bass, he's one of the best singers I've ever heard, period. He has a heart to match his amazing talent. I am honored to have him as a friend." Wow!”

“Gene McDonald has become a well-known name in Southern Gospel music. From being with the Florida Boys to now, making appearances on Gaither Homecoming concerts I have worked with Gene in the studio and watched how he takes a song and makes it his own. He’s got a great bass voice and an awesome range that allows him to do more than just that as well.”

“Gene is one of the best of the new basses and has probably the lowest voice of any of them. He can get down in the bottom of the barrell like JD Sumner used to. Gene was born May 3 1965 in Bragg City Missouri. His dad was a bass singer and now has a radio show in Bragg City. Gene is married and he and his wife Terri have a little boy that is the light of Gene's eye. He sang with the Florida Boys foir several years but as far as I can find out he is being a daddy and doing some local singing. There are 12 songs on his album "In Times Like These", one of the best albums in my Southern Gospel Music library of close to 400 CDs ”
