In 2007, Alabama-based Rush Of Fools self-titled debut exploded at radio producing the Radio and Records 2007 Song of the Year with “Undo.” The record was also the 2nd best selling new artist release of the year, and garnered 4 Dove Award nominations. Rush of Fools is well on the way to becoming a commonly recognized household name in the CCM industry.
Their sophomore release Wonder Of The World (produced by Jason Ingram, Rusty Varenkamp and Scott Davis) will pick up and expand the future career highlights for Rush Of Fools. Much like their debut release, Wonder Of The World’s passionate lyrics and contemporary, hooky melodies will provide the musical landscape for 2008 and 2009 at radio, retail and touring.
“We always put our hearts and souls into the lyrics, because if we’re going to be writing songs about God, they better be true, they better be good, and they better be honest,” Kevin Huguley says. “It’s that creativity in our lyrics and now our music as well that shows where our progress has been. We strived hard to not shy away from the tough lyrics about our own sins and struggles. But now we’ve created this new version of our own band because there’s a new musicality to it.”
“It doesn’t matter what aspect of life you’re working on, you always have to learn how to recreate something,” Wes Willis says. “You always have to learn how to grow and change, and from a musical aspect, that’s definitely what we’ve done with this album. There was a lot of growth, I think, but not too far away from worship, because that’s who we are.”
