WBCL's 'Here's The Takeaway' Podcast with Guest: Artist - Rachel Purcell (E11)

Rachel Purcell grew up right down the road from FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Yet, she had no idea she would one day follow in the footsteps of many of the iconic musicians who have recorded there. Regardless, she ended up cultivating a genuine passion for music that evolved into a professional calling. 

Purcell, who started writing songs as a teen and played in the high school marching band, always loved a good pop melody, but her aspirations were only as big as her church choir. The small-town Alabama native didn’t know to dream beyond Sunday morning solos.

“I don’t know why God has given me the opportunities He has or the platform He has,” she continues, “but I really want to honor Him and do my best to be faithful to the calling He’s placed on my life in this season to write and record Christian music.”
