Description
Screaming Gospel Holy Rollers Hop, Skip And Jump focuses on the greatest era of Black Gospel music, the 50s and early 60s. As the title implies, this release contains some of the wildest Black Gospel ever recorded, the torrid opening track I Wanna Be Ready by The Rev. H.B. Crum And The Mighty Golden Keys pretty much sets the tone for the entire album. What makes this album very special is that it focuses on the wild side of Black Gospel, which is but a stones throw from Soul & Rock n Roll at its wildest and best. If youre looking for silky smooth Gospel this definitely isnt the album for you!
Featuring record labels including Savoy, Gospel, Peacock, Checker, Sue etc. this beautifully presented Limited Edition (only 500 pressed), 180g, 12 vinyl album includes sleeve notes by Mark Lamarr along with detailed session discography.
The influence of Black Gospel music on Rock n Roll cannot be underestimated and this album clearly demonstrates the cross over between non secular and secular music in the 50s & 60s. Absolutely essential listening for collectors of Soul, Black Gospel & Rhythm & Blues.
