Screaming Gospel Holy Rollers Volume 1 CD
Volume 1 of this CD delivers 22 screamin’ and hollerin’ Black Gospel recordings compiled by Radio DJ and TV presenter Mark Lamarr. Screaming Gospel Holy Rollers Volume One focuses on the greatest era of Black Gospel music, the 50’s and early ‘60’s. As the title implies, this collection contains some of the wildest Black Gospel ever recorded, the torrid opening track “Don’t You Know Me Thomas” by The Reverend Crum And his Mighty Golden Keys pretty much sets the tone for the entire album.
Featuring a cross section of record labels including Specialty, Savoy, Gospel, Vee-Jay and Peacock, this well presented collection includes sleeve notes by Mark Lamarr and a detailed discography. The influence of Black Gospel music on Rock n Roll cannot be underestimated and this collection clearly demonstrates the cross over between non secular and secular music in the 50’s & 60’s.
