Its always been a dream of mine to record live in Los Angeles, every since the heyday of gospel back with the late great James Cleveland says Beverly Crawford. So you cant believe my excitement when God divinely connected my path with LA-based JDI Records and we were able to make my dream come true. My husband Todd & I have been totally immersed the last several years pastoring and building our church in my hometown of Gainesville, FL and had passed on so many recording offers. Likewise, JDI Records wasnt actively looking to add any more artists to its roster. Yet God, in his infinite wisdom, did a holy hook-up and I am so excited about this project I believe its the best one Ive ever done!

Best known for her classic hits Praise Jehovah, Jesus Precious King,” and “Marvelous” JDI Records takes Beverly straight to church where the psalmist delivers a string of just-her-size performances. Live from Los Angeles captures the true essence and anointing that is Beverly Crawford. Impressed by the song, Los Angeles power station KJLH-FM leaked a listen of “He’s Done Enough” (click to listen and win) months before its release.
