(Penrod was still part of the Gaither organization, with Gaither's label releasing his recordings.) Produced by Brent Rowan, Breathe Deep consisted of fairly traditional country with Christian and spiritual overtones, a template Penrod would make his own. Penrod left to go solo in 2009, the same year that his debut solo album, Breathe Deep, appeared. He was also a key contributor to nearly a dozen albums released under the Bill Gaither Vocal Band moniker. Penrod met Bill Gaither at a studio session and was soon a member of the Bill Gaither Vocal Band, where his powerful singing and vocal range brought him lot of fans via Gaither's various international Homecoming concerts. He was also a member of the Christ Church Choir. After attending and graduating Liberty University, he began working as a studio session singer, doing backup vocals for artists like Carman, Amy Grant, Michael W. Before he graduated Hobbs High School in 1981, Penrod had already assembled and recorded an album, singing all the parts himself. Penrod was born on Jin Abilene, Texas, and was raised in Hobbs, New Mexico, where his father was the pastor of Temple Baptist Church. Penrod perfected a style that, without much embellishment, allowed him to explore classic country gospel hymns as well as contemporary praise & worship songs without ruffling a single feather. As a preacher's son and a protégé nurtured under the massive Bill Gaither gospel umbrella, gospel singer Guy Penrod's solo releases bring a touch of down-home country familiarity to the contemporary Christian music table.
