5.0 out of 5 stars
As good as it's companion volume, July 7, 2000
This review is from: How Can I Keep From Singing 2 (Audio CD)
I say of this album what I say of volume one: This album is a superb introduction to the variety of gospel music at its roots. In remastering early recordings the engineers have done an excellent job of cleaning enough surface noise out for one to enjoy the music - but not removing too much noise to distort the original intent. As these are later recordings than the first volume, the final result has less surface noise.
You get a bit of blues and hillbilly, accompanied and a cappella, solo and congregation, professional and "just plain folks". Every track is a gem of its type - only your personal preferences will distinguish the "best" tracks.
My personal favorites are There Is A Fountain Filled with Blood by Copperhill Male Quartet and My Loving Brother (better known as The Fire Song) by Ed McConnell And Family.
