Bear Family (Germany), 1950s. New Copy 2CD ... $15.99 22.99
Robert Ballinger might be a Reverend, but he's got the sound of a 50s bluesman in Chicago – no surprise, as he recorded most of these tracks in the Windy City during the decade – with plenty of help from the great Willie Dixon on bass! Ballinger sings and plays piano on these cuts ... read more CD

(Limited "Ice Wind" transparent vinyl pressing.)
Universal Awareness/Numero, 1973. New Copy (reissue)... $7.99
The even more obscure second volume to the great soul/gospel classic Do Not Pass Me By – and like the first, the product of a wonderfully spiritual setting on Chicago's south side – music created in the church, but with all the same vibe as the hippest secular soul coming from the Windy ... read more CD

Dang, if it sounded like this at our church, we'd go to mass every Sunday!

Specialty, Late 50s. Very Good+ ... $13.99
It's a well-known fact that before Sam Cooke went into soul music, he was cutting some incredible work with the Soul Stirrers gospel quintet – work that was every bit as soulful and sexy as his pop hits, perhaps more so, given the supposedly restrained nature of the setting.

Al's firmly embraced his religion by this time – and this 1983 gospel release has him singing praises to the lord and the glory of creation.
