The selections on this disc of "Down Home" African American Gospel music offer you a rare glimpse at a variety of very personal, religious, deeply felt music, consisting of "snap-shots" recorded mostly in the rural South over the past 40 years. The performances range from a cappella small group, quartet singing, guitar solos, solo voices accompanied by guitar and three harmonicas with voice, to amplified lap steel guitarists serving and accompanying congregations during the Holiness dance.

Arhoolie's American masters is a mid-line sampler series culled from our full price CDs. Each CD features the best known artists of a particular musical genre. Inside the booklet each song is referenced to the CD it originally came from, with a photo mini of that CD cover and a listing of the artist's other Arhoolie CDs.

REVIEW

“Fabulous compilation from the Arhoolie back catalogue. Recorded mostly in the rural South over the past 40 years, this is gospel music at its grittiest - no trendy choirs here - just voices, guitars and harmonicas. Every track a gem and budget price! Praise The Lord!!!”
