REVIEW Not even the image within the liner notes could prepare you for the amazingly powerful - and strikingly real - unfiltered gospel music that is found on this CD. . . This image of Rev. Louis Overstreet as well as these mesmerizing recordings made in 1962 and 63 are a riveting documentation of the mighty force, raw energy, and sheer intensity of gospel music.As clearly evidenced on these recordings, Overstreet and his congregation keep true-to-form where the preaching, music, and participatory singing can spontaneously whip itself into a feverish happening with a life of its own. Beneath Rev. Overstreet's deep, dark, hoarse voice runs his sparse electric guitar drones along with the pounding of a bass drum - all in front of a surging wall of sound coming from the combined congregational singing and hand clapping which is accented by tambourine. This is Arhoolie Records doing what it does best- superbly documenting 'roots music' and capturing its vitality in a natural setting. Fabulous. Fabulous album. (Dennis Rozanski Baltimore Blues Rag) |
