TSQ 2271 CD 


***Fire In My Bones features almost four hours of music on three CDs—super-compelling, undiluted, stripped-down gospel! The majority of this music has never been reissued on CD, or in any other form (most tracks were originally released on regional independent labels). Most post-WWII compilations of African-American gospel music naturally concentrate on the astounding quartet and solo vocalist sounds made during the music’s Golden Age. Fire In My Bones attempts to address and collect more neglected sounds from that era (and on to the present day). Dozens of traditions are represented. Some go back hundreds of years while others seem to have been arrived at as soon as the tape began to roll. Field recordings and studio tracks are all mashed together, with solo performances next to congregational recordings, hellfire sermons next to afterlife laments. Features tracks from LEON PIONSON, ELDER & SISTER BRINSON & THE BRINSON BROTHERS, GRANT & ELLA, STRAIGHT STREET HOLINESS GROUP, THEOTIS TAYLOR, and BROTHER & SISTER W B GRATE—artists who will now be just a little less obscure. Received an 8.4 rating from Pitchfork
