Liner Note Author: Mary Katherine Aldin. Recording information: New York, NY (10/31/1938-12/02/1948). Arranger: Sister Rosetta Tharpe. With 18 Decca tracks from 1938-1948, this CD is not only a good survey of some of Tharpe's best work, but one of the best compilations of any sort to illustrate gospel's crossover into blues, R&B, and secular music in general. Admittedly that's not the busiest cross-fertilization of popular music, but it's not one that's given much attention. And if you think you might not like this because Tharpe is sometimes described as a gospel artist, think again, for this is fine stuff on any terms, mixing the devotional exuberance of gospel with first-rate accompaniment blending blues, early R&B, and at times some swing jazz. In truth, sometimes you won't think of this as gospel at all, such is it's rhythmic verve, even on the half-dozen numbers with nothing but guitar in the backup. Some other tracks find her backed by the groups of Lucky Millinder and Sammy Price, and the jubilant "Shout, Sister, Shout!" comes off as a missing link between gospel, jazz, blues, and the birth of rock & roll. "Trouble in Mind," "This Train," "Down by the Riverside," and "Up Above My Head I Hear Music in the Air" are other highlights of a set with no shortage of them. - Richie Unterberger.
"Gospel Of Blues" is a captivating CD that showcases the extraordinary talent of Sister Rosetta Tharpe, one of the most influential figures in gospel and blues music. This collection brings together some of her most powerful performances, blending heartfelt gospel lyrics with electrifying guitar work?a style that paved the way for rock 'n' roll. Sister Rosetta Tharpe, often called "the godmother of rock and roll," was renowned for her charismatic stage presence and innovative musicianship. Her groundbreaking recordings from the 1930s to the 1950s inspired generations of artists including Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Little Richard. The CD is produced by MCA, a respected label known for its commitment to preserving musical heritage and delivering high-quality releases across genres.
