And tonight, Jimmy Reno, how you been man?

- Doing good, doing good.

- That's great to hear.

Now tell me what you've been doing since you were last on "Alabama Gospel Roots."

- Singing here and there, just trying to do what my calling is, just been sharing music, writing music, and- - You've been writing?

- Yep.

- What's the latest song you're writing on?

- The latest one I wrote was called "Gospel Outlaw."

- Gospel Outlaw?

- Yes.

- Is that talking about you?

(both laughing) - It's talking about, I was reading in scripture where the Bible talks about that we would reach a time where things that were wrong were called right and things that were right were called wrong and so that's what inspired the song.

It's just about if doing what is right, Biblically is called wrong then- - It's wrong.

- You just have to be in the wrong.

- All right, now where are you from, Jimmy?

- Birmingham.

- You're from Birmingham.

You grew up in Birmingham?

What part of Birmingham?

- Well, I was a little north of Birmingham in the Pinson area.

- Pinson, well give Pinson a little shout out man.

- Shout out to Pinson Alabama.

- All right.

Now I understand this show will air later, but your son has been in Poland and he- - He has, he's in the army.

- Uh, huh.

- He was deployed to Poland for close to a year and he just returned home a couple of nights ago and so we're really excited to have him back safely, him and his unit.

- That's great, that's great.

Well, I know you raised him right.

So how many children you got?

- Yeah, I got three children.

- Three, okay.

Is he the oldest?

- No, he's the youngest.

- Youngest.

- And he's 23.

- Okay, you sure?

- I'm positive, I had to think.

Yeah, my oldest is 27, my youngest is 23, and we have five granddaughters.

- Wow.

- Two twins that are three years old.

- Oh wow, they got your heart, right?

- They do, they do.

I have a two year old granddaughter, we have a granddaughter that was born just a few months ago, and then I have a nine year old granddaughter.

- Great, great.

You know all the grandchildren's name, right?

- I do, I do.

- All right, well go with it then.

Listen, she is known as the first female to build a church in the AME denomination.

And a storm went through, I think it's been about 10 to 12 years ago, and the church was just devastated, but guess what?

They got it all together and said, "We can do this."

And now they're in a beautiful edifice and we salute you.

She was raised in Phenix City, Alabama.

Her parents, the late Will and Rose Walker, graduated from Troy State University and also attended Payne Theological Seminary in Wilberforce, Ohio in the Master of Divinity program.

She retired from the total system service of Columbus, Georgia with 26 years of service.

In her community, she serves as chair of the Alabama NAACP Win Committee, that's a great organization.

She volunteers with the Red Cross and she's the chair of the Focus Forward nonprofit prayer team and also she serves as chair of the Northeast Alabama Conference Civil and Service Division in the AME Church.

Our dear friend, Bishop Harry L. Seawright, I'm sure is very proud of you as well as all of those who serve under him.

So tonight we are honored to salute Pastor Kendra Walker Jacobs and we salute you for your great service in your community.

My dad's really inspiring, hopefully people get to check his music out and they like the show.

It's awesome to be up here standing next to him performing.

- All right man, say a word of encouragement to all the young people and how they should interact with their parents, can you do that for me?

I'm talking to Sublime over there, I know you know how to do it.

- Absolutely.

Just respect your elders and respect people that have something to say to you, words of wisdom, like take heed to what they're saying, listen to what they're saying, and see how you can apply it to your life, even if it doesn't sound like they're talking to your situation, just spin it, and see how you can apply it to how you live, so.

- We could throw the mic down on that man.

- Oh, yeah.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.

- Yes.

- All right, well, you're gonna show Birmingham and Alabama what it's all about?

- Yes, this song is called "Dance with Me."

- I wish I could be out here with you.

(laughs) "Dance with Me."

Well, listen, we are so, so glad to always have you, you always bring your A game when you come.

- Yes.

- And I know you're encouraging the people who are watching, some may not understand the style of music, but if they just listen to the words, it will build them up and it'll strengthen them to go forward, would you agree with that?

- Yes, I would.

- All right, well let's welcome once again as he gets ready to do his brand new, going to debut right here on the "Alabama Gospel Roots," Brother Samuel Brown.

And you guys, have you recorded any of your music yet?

- We're working on a project right now, it's gonna be called Family Tradition.

We're going back doing a bunch of the old songs that Mandy's family grew up on and and stuff like that, so we're really looking forward to that, it's gonna be released probably the 1st of October.

- That is wonderful.

Well, wishing you the very best in what you're doing and Mom, so glad, I know you're happy to see the vision resurrected.

- Yes.

- And that's what'll happen, right?

- That's right.

- If you don't give up.

- That's right.

- If you don't give up.

Well the people out there have enjoyed you being on "Alabama Gospel Roots" and can I go ahead and issue the invitation for you to return right now?

- Of course, absolutely.

- Okay, you're gonna make sure?

- Yes.

- You're gonna handle it, right?

- Yeah, I'll handle it.

(both laughing) - I love it, I love it, I love it.

Well, I tell you what, we're gonna get ready to get outta here, but y'all don't leave before you do another song, I'll be back, okay?

- All righty.

- Okay, once again, on "Alabama Gospel Roots," it's Resurrected Vision.

When I was out earlier, I didn't get the name of the man that was talking, so since he can't give me his name, would you do it for me?

- Yes, this is my husband Austin Olvey.

- Okay, hold on a second.

You know what I want you to do?

I want you to do it real, real, you know, put some little extra to it.

- Oh, this man has been singing professionally for over six, almost seven years now, and somehow he lucked up and he found me and now we have this group.

So this is my husband, his name is Austin Olvey.

- Ah, I love it.

You did it girl, you know how to do it.

Well I can't do anything no better than that and I wouldn't even try.

All right, so listen, everybody on "Alabama Gospel Roots" we just love, this is just a family, whole family show and we hope that you find some joy in how you see us going on, carrying on.

We want to encourage everybody to just be a great blessing this week as you come and go, the little simple things means so very much, a smile, patience with people when they don't deserve it, or whatever that is and you'll find that in the end you'll be mighty proud of yourself for what you did, okay?

Well, in the meantime, there's something we'd like to say, get the mics up and I want y'all to say it after me.

Mom, Mom, okay, I don't know where you were then Mom.

(both laughing) - I'm telling you, I gotta keep 'em straight.

- Yeah, I see you got a job on your hand.

Say this with me, we're all sisters and brothers.

- [Resurrected Vision] We're all sisters and brothers.

- There's only one color.

- [Resurrected Vision] There's only one color.

- And that's the color of love.

- [Resurrected Vision] And that's the color of love.

- The same love I heard over here just a little bit ago, that's the kind of love.

All right, well listen, we're getting outta here.

Everybody, be well, have a great week.

Take us out, Resurrected Vision.
