VARIOUS ARTISTS 'How Can I Keep From Singing, Vol. 1' YAZOO-2020-CD
A wonderful slection of gospel & sacred music taken from old 78s of the 1920s & 30s, from booth the white & black traditions. Included in the 23 tracks are classic cuts by the Tennessee Mountaineers(STANDING ON THE PROMISES), Alison's Sacred Harp Singers(WEEPING PILGRIM), Uncle Dave Macon(WALKING IN SUNLIGHT), Rev. & Mrs Boone, Smith & Woodlieff, Elder Golden Harris, and the Carolina Ladies Quartette. There are equally strong pieces from the black tradition such as Jaybird Coleman's awesome harmonica & vocal CROSS THE RIVER OF JORDAN and the fantastic WOKE UP THIS MORNING by Roosevelt & Uaroy Graves. Wonderful, powerfull stuff. EVER TIME I FEEL THE SPIRIT, BRINGING IN THE SHEAVES, MY LOVED ONES ARE WAITING.
