It's impractical to recap the rich history of gospel music in even a box set, but this single disc does a terrific job of introducing the highlights of the genre over a brief but effective 50-minute CD. From such legends as Mahalia Jackson, the Staple Singers, and James Cleveland to the somewhat more esoteric Violinaires and Trumpeteers, co-compilers Joel Dorn and photographer Lee Friedlander -- old friends from their days working together at Atlantic Records -- present a well-rounded and consistently mesmerizing set of tunes that shows why gospel is the heart and soul of American music. It's impossible not to be moved by this sound, regardless of your religious beliefs. These musicians aren't trying to make money; they are working for a higher power than financial gain, and that's the core of artistic integrity. Choosing highlights from this collection is futile, but Sam Cooke's soaring voice on the Soul Stirrers' "The Last Mile of the Way" and the Reverend James Cleveland leading his chorus on the classic "Get Right Church" are just a few spine-tingling moments from an album that boasts plenty more where those came from. Dorn makes a big point in the non-liner notes that he doesn't think it's necessary to provide information on the tracks, right down to the years they were released. While he has a point that this music needs no explanation, a few pictures of the artists and the release dates of the tracks wouldn't have hurt this otherwise perfect compilation. ~ Hal Horowitz

Liner Note Author: Joel Dorn.

Photographer: Lee Friedlander.Rolling Stone (p.71) - 3.5 stars out of 5 -- "These songs exist to glorify Jesus, but the revelation is in simply how soul-stirring they are, regardless of how you might spend your Sundays."

Stephen Stills CD  (1970)

Gospel Music album
CD $9.79  4 stars Audio Samples Definitive Album
This outstanding solo debut came at a particularly successful and creative time for Stephen Stills. In the first few years of the 1970s, he recorded two solo albums, released the superb Manassas double-album, and performed as part of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. No one would expect a musician spreading himself so thin to be able to make a record as focused, nuanced, and bursting with ideas as STEPHEN STILLS-- yet that is exactly what Stills did. On this varied set Stills's prodigious talent is laid bare, encompassing Memphis soul, folk, blues, gospel, ...

Finn's Motel Escape Velocity CD  (2006)

Gospel Music album
CD $11.59  
The concept album might seem an artifact best left fossilized in rock's Jurassic past, when '70s progosaurs filled double- and triple-vinyl sets with thematically unified song suites, frequently bloated with ostentatious musicianship and lyrical attempts at poetry and philosophy. People often forget, though, that some of the concept album's antecedents lie in the pre-prog '60s with the Beatles and the Who, among others. Tapping into that rich seam of influence, Finn's Motel give the genre a respectable power pop makeover. Songwriter Joe Thebeau contemplates the human condition through the lens of automotive culture, mixing rock with popular physics ...
