Song of the Day: The Dixie Hummingbirds - Christian's Automobile

If any of you (this is assuming there are people out there I realize) are in to this sort of thing I'd highly recommend heading over to africangospelchurch to download the Best of WFMU's Sinner's Crossroads compilation. Do it, you know? It's good for you.

Song of the Day: Otis Wright - It Soon Be Done

Super catchy Jamaican gospel music. The Noah Found Grace compilation was what I was actually looking for yesterday. Highly highly (highly) recommended.

Reverend Louis Overstreet - An Evening With His Guitar, Four Sons, & The Congregation of St Luke Powerhouse Church of God 1962

Without a doubt the best album I've heard in the last two weeks (though I like that new Cults album too). Sometimes I actively seek out new genres of music to get into, sometimes it just happens. I had no idea I was going down a Gospel road a month or two ago, but man this stuff is good for you. I wonder how I would feel about music like this if I'd grown up in any sort of religious environment and wasn't coming to this as a cultural tourist. All I know is that this is great. Raw electric gospel. Get it here via holywarbles.
