In 1976, Reba Rambo was something of an anomaly in Christian music. Despite being one-third of the groundbreaking Southern Gospel trio, The Rambos, with her parents Buck and Dottie Rambo, she had a separate solo career as a left of center folk-rock singer-songwriter and released four solo albums as part of the then-burgeoning Jesus Movement to both controversy and critical acclaim. After performing at 1972’s Explo ‘72, often cited as the Woodstock of the Jesus Movement, she toured for a year & a half as a part of Andrae Crouch and The Disciples. Her time with The Disciples stretched her musically and allowed her to further evolve as a songwriter. When she and producer, Phil Johnson, however, approached the label for a budget for a new solo album, the executives weren’t interested. Determined to record Reba’s songs, Johnson called in favors and recorded Lady with some of Nashville’s top session players when other artists he was working with had time left at the end of their sessions. They submitted the final project to the label who agreed to release it, but without much promotional effort. But the songs spoke for themselves. Reba’s inventive songwriting and distinctive vocals paired with Johnson’s innovative production established Reba, in one critic’s words, as “one of the most important female contemporary Christian artists in the field.” She has earned a Grammy Award, three Dove Awards and has been inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame as a member of The Rambos.
