Reverend Lonnie Farris
Night At The House Of PrayerBuked & Scorned, Early 60s. New Copy
Fantastic work from Reverend Lonnie Farris – one of the key proponents of "sacred steel" guitar – the use of the mostly-country instrument in the setting of soulful gospel! Farris works the instrument in ways that are sometimes familiar, sometimes almost more like the use of ... LP, Vinyl record album
Gospel Roots/Honest Jons (UK), Late 70s. New Copy 2LP Gatefold
A really really beautiful little compilation – one with a sound that's every bit as powerful as the image on its cover! The music here all comes from the Gospel Roots label of Miami soul powerhouse TK Records – a key force in mainstream soul in the 70s, but also a company who issued ... LP, Vinyl record album

Tessie Hill
Think About ItABC/Peacock, 1976. Near Mint-
A gospel album, but a pretty hip one – with a really rootsy soul feel, and even a bit of 70s funk on a few tracks. Tessie's got a great voice, kind of like Cissy Drinkard, and the album follows very strongly in the Peacock soul/gospel tradition. Titles include "Go Before Me", ... LP, Vinyl record album

Edwin Hawkins Singers
Children Get TogetherBuddah, 1971. Very Good Gatefold
The full Edwins Hawkins sound in full effect – lots of backing singers supporting a righteous lead – all in a style that's arguably a lot more soul than gospel! The Hawkins group was one of the best to crossover from gospel to soul at the time, and they still do it better than most of ... LP, Vinyl record album
