Synopsis

Album Description

OUT OF PRINT TREASURE NOW AVAILABLE WITH NEW TRACKS, REMASTERD SOUND AND EXTENSIVE PACKAGING. Sister gertrude morgan (1900-1980) was a self-proclaimed "bride of Christ" whose visually explosive folk art is celebrated on the museum circuit world-wide. But her one album, made in New Orleans in the 1960s, is one of black gospel music's secret relics. Those recordings were unearthed and a limted number of copies were released to unaniomous and widespread critical acclaim in 2003. Out of print since 2004, the recordings have been remastered and repackaged (with extensive liner notes, artwork and more) and is available worldwide for the first time.

CD Reviews

Let's Make A Record

Stuart Jefferson | San Diego,Ca | 06/24/2008

(5 out of 5 stars)

"One disc,48 min. approximately. Remastered sound. This is the sound of old-time god-fearing gospel music,as only someone who is a total evangelist could produce. Sister Gertrude Morgan lived in New Orleans,where she dedicated her life to God and spreading the word to all who would receive it. Recorded live in the late sixties,her expressive voice and conviction shines through all these tracks. Accompanied by only her tambourine,her mission is to spread her word,which she does very convincingly. This is music that is seldom heard today,especially in a solo format. This is music that is so powerful there's little room for any kind of doubt. Isn't that what,ultimately,this music is all about? This is the real deal-nothing fancy-just voice,tambourine,and a mountain of conviction. Be sure you purchase the solo tracks and not the updated version by King Britt,which incorporates a number of musicians added onto the original tracks at a later date to mixed results."
