Editorial Reviews
You'll hear more than gospel in these sublime Mahalia performances (1954-69)-echoes of soul, blues, doo wop and rock reverberate through her voice and these stirring songs. Includes How I Got Over; I've Been 'Buked; How Great Thou Art; The Love of God; God Is So Good (to Me); When I Wake Up in Glory; When the Saints Go Marching In; The Lord's Prayer , and more!

What's not to love about a Mahalia Jackson CD?..,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Gospels Spirituals & Hymns Vol. 2 (Audio CD)
I bought this CD and Volume I back in 2002. My mother loved Mahalia Jackson, so I grew up listening to her in vinyl round the clock it seemed. I actually thought I couldn't stand to hear another Mahalia Jackson song as long as I lived. But as an adult, I found myself humming some of the songs my mother had played over and over, and one day I realized I missed Mahalia's voice. When I bought these collections of hers, I actually went searching specifically for Mahalia Jackson music. Imagine my mother's surprise when I told her I had Mahalia Jackson blasting in my house the way she'd done when I was growing up! :-) There are still more Mahalia Jackson songs that I'm looking for that, in all the songs on these collections, weren't included. That's my only disappointment with these. But the quality of the recordings -- classic Mahalia Jackson!

Fantastic Gospel,

This review is from: Gospels Spirituals & Hymns Vol. 2 (Audio CD)
Volume 2 is a little different than volume 1 in a couple of ways. I think more of these songs are a later Mahalia, and somehow that age, experience and maturity come through. Also, there are a few songs with a bluesy touch, and I was surprised at one non-gospel song, "Summertime" from Porgy & Bess. But a few of the Gospel songs sound like blues as well. Perhaps indicative of the times and changing music styles in general? I'm not sure, but I sure do like them. I bought this for my wife since she loves Mahalia and can't wait to give her a big hug when they meet in Heaven.

Undeniably, Mahalia Jackson had a strong, clear, vibrant, emotional, BEAUTIFUL voice! While I liked volume 1 of this set a little better (due to the selections), I am also glad to have this set in my collection.
