The Malpass Brothers have released “He Touched Me,” the second single from their forthcoming live album and DVD ‘Satisfied: Country Gospel Classics’, arriving June 26 through Gaither Music Group. Listen here.
Filmed live at TBN Studios in Hendersonville, Tennessee, ‘Satisfied: Country Gospel Classics’ brings together 20 beloved hymns and gospel standards performed in an intimate concert setting by Chris and Taylor Malpass, backed by a seasoned band. The project captures the warmth, simplicity, and deep reverence that have defined the duo’s sound across years of traditional country and gospel performance.
“These are the songs we were raised on,” the brothers say. “They were always playing at home, on the road, and backstage. We wanted this project to feel true to the music and present the songs the way we’ve always loved hearing them. Recording them live made the experience even more meaningful.”
“Chris and Taylor have a deep respect for the traditions that shaped country and gospel music, and they bring that to life every time they step on stage,” says Paul Sizelove, President of Sun Label Group and Gaither Music Group. “This project captures that authenticity in a powerful way.”
The full project arrives as audio album, full-length DVD, and television special, airing on TBN, RFD-TV, The Word Network, Vision, TCT, The Walk TV, TLN, HopeTV, The Miracle Channel, CTS, CTN, and Heartland. The album is also available to stream at Gaither TV+.
The Malpass Brothers come to this project with deep roots and a remarkable mentorship lineage. Inspired early by the harmonies of Jim & Jesse, the Louvin Brothers, and the Wilburn Brothers, they were mentored by steel guitar legend Don Helms and handpicked by Merle Haggard as an opening act for 7 years. Their debut album was produced by Haggard himself. Recent releases have been co-produced by Bluegrass Hall of Famer Doyle Lawson and Ben Isaacs.
The duo received an official proclamation from Goldsboro Mayor Charles Gaylor IV recognizing their dedication to country music and their contributions to their hometown. The Paramount Theatre in Goldsboro will also name its annex after The Malpass Brothers later this year.
