As my past posts have hinted at, my record buying habits have taken on a heavy gospel bent of late. Not sure what instigated the ramp up…I’ve been picking up pieces here and there for years now but not in such a concerted way. My taste in gospel has both evolved and refined itself over the years; the only common consistencies is that I’m certainly drawn to gospel with a strong soul and/or funk [...] Continue reading HOLY GHOST POSTS, EASTER SPECIAL: 1 OF 5

ALBUMS. Major caveat: over the last few years, I’ve really relinquished any claim to being a “pop critic” in the broad sense of the term. I don’t make a living nor pursue a hobby in staying on top of pop music trends (and truly, even at the height of my freelance career, I was always writing about specific genres, never “pop” at large). That’s not to say I’ve abandoned pop at all; I love pop music but I feel no compunction to be in the mix with every major release. As a result, this list below is [...] Continue reading 2010 REVIEW (NEW)
Harry Booker: Straight Ahead The Clinton Logan Singers: A Change Gonna Come The nice thing about finding a new genre to explore is that everything is new and whether rare or common, expensive or cheap, it’s really just about the music rather than being a completionist (that turn eventually comes but just not now). With gospel soul, I’m a total [...] Continue reading HOLY GHOST POSTS: RON DICKERSON, HARRY BOOKER AND THE CLINTON LOGAN SINGERS

I got turned onto this LP by Brendan and it’s easily one of the best gospel soul albums I can think of in terms of bang for the buck. Besides these two cuts, there’s also a decent deep soul track and mostly, you have a stellar line-up of vocalists in the Gospelettes, including Frances Moore, who sings on “Have a Talk With God” and Sheryl Little, who is the featured soloist on “Have Mercy [...] Continue reading HOLY GHOST POSTS: EAST ST. LOUIS GOSPELETTES
I was initially turned onto this from Jesse’s incredible gospel soul post and thankfully, this album is probably the easiest one to track down of all that he shared. The Jackson Southernaires debut album for the Duke/Peacock gospel subsidiary Songbird was a huge hit for the group and it’s not difficult to track down copies of the LP for well under $20. (Strangely, for such a hit, it doesn’t seem to be on CD). Jesse had included “On [...] Continue reading HOLY GHOST POSTS: JACKSON SOUTHERNAIRES
