This diverse collection of vintage religious recordings is highlighted by Washington Phillips' "Denomination Blues" (on which he accompanies himself on an obscure keyboard called a dalceola), Elder Charlie Beck's "Drinking Shine," Arizona Dranes' talented piano playing, Joshua White, the swinging Blue Chips and the powerful vocalist-guitarist Sister O.M. Terrell who only recorded six selections during her one session in 1953. Much more difficult to sit through are the performances of Jessie May Hill (her voice is irritating) and the overheated sermons of Rev. Johnny Blakey (his backup singers are horrendous). Despite the limited subject matter, this is a historically significant set of nearly forgotten Black music. ~ Scott Yanow, Rovi
