A Full and True Gospel Experience

This 3-CD collection offers for the first time an overview of black, sacred recordings made in the field. They demonstrate a wide variety of the many exciting styles of Afro-American gospel music covering for the most part the Post-War era. We have drawn in-the-front-seat clips from the tent, concert hall, church, park, festival grounds, stadium, ballroom, studio and auditorium and have included international gospel stars such as Mahalia Jackson and Sister Rosetta Tharpe alongside lesser celebrated but equally talented artists like the Morning Echoes and Golden Keys. Hearing in-the-spirit-gospel live performances before an enthralled audience makes for a full and true experience. This emotional music is the closest you will ever get to the essence of black gospel music. If it doesn't have you off your feet and into the air, nothing will. Much of this material has never had commercial release - although a few cuts may be familiar to the keenest collectors - even they may discover a lot that is new to them.
