The Ohio-based gospel group Half Mile Home has released Church Muzik & Inspiration Deluxe Edition, offering music fans and supporters an enhanced experience with their highly-successful CD. The new offering includes new songs, remixes and renowned guest artists. The album, which includes a wide range of music from traditional church music to contemporary gospel with and urban twist, was released in April, 2014.
The three members of the musically self-contained group—Terence Burton (lead vocalist, drummer and songwriter), Todd Burton (pianist, songwriter and producer), and Darryl Brownlee (lead vocalist, guitarist and songwriter)—grew up as “church boys” in Ohio, before embarking on a career in R&B music in the 1990s. In 2004, they returned to their gospel roots, but brought some of their R&B and hip-hop vibe with them, resulting in a unique and engaging musical style, with a message of hope and encouragement. That inspirational musical blend is on full display in the new version of Church Muzik & Inspiration.

Half Mile Home’s powerful sound defies categorization. The album features praise and worship songs; traditional and contemporary gospel; and inspirational music, and the group’s singles have been popular on both gospel and urban radio formats. All of the songs on the CD were written by Half Mile Home members, particularly the musically gifted brothers, Terence and Todd. The album has been successful, with both the original and the reissued version landing in the top 20 on Billboard’s Gospel charts—peaking at #14 and #16, respectively. Their first two singles charted in the top 25. “Change My Life” peaked at #10 and “So Good” peaked at #24.
The deluxe version of the CD has been remixed and remastered by industry veterans Pete Tokar and Danny Leake of Urban Gorilla Engineers. It contains two new songs: “Paid,” a contemporary ballad featuring celebrated gospel artist LeJuene Thompson, and “My Soul Has Been Anchored,” featuring gospel legend Douglas Miller, who wrote and first performed the song, which has become a main-stay in gospel music. This song has been recorded by numerous artists, but this is the first time he is featured on a recording of the song with other artists.
