Music Minute - The Malpass Brothers: Satisfied

The Malpass Brothers, the country music duo consisting of brothers Chris and Taylor Malpass, recently released their new single “Satisfied” and kick off pre-orders for their forthcoming live album and DVD, ‘Satisfied: Country Gospel Classics,’ available June 26 via Gaither Music Group. First Single, “Satisfied,” Available Now — Stream Here 'Satisfied: Country Gospel Classics' Album Available for Pre-Order Now Known for their deep-rooted traditional style, The Malpass Brothers grew up in Goldsboro, North Carolina, immersed in the sounds of country and gospel music from an early age. Inspired by their grandfather’s record collection and the artists who shaped the genre, the brothers have built a career on carrying that tradition forward with authenticity and respect. The first single, “Satisfied,” premiered digitally with Cowboys & Indians and is available now as an instant download with album pre-order. The performance captures the spirit that defines the duo—straightforward, harmony-driven country music grounded in faith and timeless storytelling. “These songs are the ones we grew up on,” said The Malpass Brothers. “They were part of our everyday life at home, on the road, and backstage. When we set out to make this project, we wanted to keep it simple and honest, and let the songs speak the way they always have. Getting to do that live made it even more special.” Filmed live at TBN Studios in Hendersonville, Tennessee, ‘Satisfied: Country Gospel Classics’ features a collection of beloved hymns and gospel standards performed in an intimate concert setting. Backed by a seasoned band, the project showcases the warmth, simplicity, and reverence that have become hallmarks of The Malpass Brothers’ sound. “Chris and Taylor have a deep respect for the traditions that shaped country and gospel music, and they bring that to life every time they step on stage,” said Paul Sizelove, President of Sun Label Group and Gaither Music Group. “This project captures that authenticity in a powerful way, and we’re proud to partner with them in sharing it with audiences everywhere.” Rooted in the timeless sounds of classic country, The Malpass Brothers were inspired early on by legendary harmony duos and later mentored by steel guitar legend Don Helms. Handpicked by Merle Haggard as an opening act for seven years, the brothers have carried the torch for traditional country across stages nationwide. Their debut album, Memory That Bad, was produced by Haggard, followed by projects with Bluegrass Hall of Famer Doyle Lawson. ‘Satisfied: Country Gospel Classics’ will be released as an audio album, full-length DVD, and television special. The TV special will air on TBN, RFD-TV, The Word Network, Vision, TCT, The Walk TV, TLN, HopeTV, The Miracle Channel, CTS, CTN, and Heartland.
