The Old Paths signed an exclusive recording contract with Crossroads earlier this year, and quickly shot to the top of the charts. Their 
single “The I of the Storm†hit #4 on the July 2012 Singing News Radio Airplay charts. “Battle Stand,†written by Rodney Birch and released on their April 2012 recording Right Now, is #1 on the December 2012 chart.
Crossroads executive Chris White states, “When I had my first meeting with these guys I said, ‘Let’s hold hands first. Then, if that works, we’ll lock arms. If that works, we’ll do the full bear hug.’ Well, we held hands, and that got us a #4 song and now a #1. If that’s what happens just holding hands, I have no idea how good the bear hug is going to be!â€
Old Paths members Tim Rackley and Douglas Roark commented, “Words cannot describe how excited we were when we heard the news that ‘Battle Stand’ went #1. We really are humbled by the response of the DJs and listeners. We can only imagine what the future holds here at Crossroads!”
