A lot of people I know were feeling bummed out last week, so... this one's to you guys.
This album is compiled of rare gospel, sanctified blues and steel recorded sometime between the 40's and the 60's. It's basically an assortment of preachers and pious folk who know how to attack a tune, singing about how troublesome their life is, but how it's allllll gonna be just fine.
These guys could've been major rock stars in their day had they not had such disdain for the "devil's music." Some (like Reverend Lonnie Farris) were even offered a lot of money, but declined. Go figure.
My favorite track off the album is "Angels Keep Watching Over Me" by the Straight Street Group.
