***Most of the material was drawn from the D-Vine Spirituals catalog which has enjoyed a critically acclaimed comeback through a recent reissue series. Shipp, an 83 year old producer, DJ and longtime manager of Elizabeth, didn’t miss the chance to be back in the studio with Elizabeth, egging her on. This 60 year old relationship has flourished as the recordings indicate. Once the album was thought to have been completed, producer Bruce Watson had one more trick up his sleeve. He enlisted Mississippi rhythm & blues shaman Jimbo Mathus (Squirrel Nut Zippers, Buddy Guy, Andrew Bird) to produce one more cut for the record. He wanted a Mathus original. Something outside the box. What came was the title track I Got a Love.

***Full length album from the legendary D-Vine Spirituals queen, Elizabeth King. At 79 years young, Elizabeth has reemerged as a shining light in the Memphis soul-gospel scene. Producer Bruce Watson (Bible & Tire Recording Co. / Big Legal Mess / Fat Possum) continues to broaden his landscape of "Sacred Soul". With a line up of seasoned, Memphis session musicians, these recordings of early D-Vine material are brought back to life with a fire, not yet previously realized within the catalog.
