Once narrowly defined as Religious, Gospel has recently transcended those limits and its phenomenal growth in popularity reflects the new found appreciation that the mainstream music audience has for gospel. The ‘Gospel explosion’ represents a long overdue acknowledgement of the profound effect and inspiration Gospel has had on the great Blues and Jazz singers and songs. This album pays tribute to the legends of Gospel and is as powerful and moving an album as you are likely to hear.
