Let’s celebrate Easter days with a
gorgeous dose of devoted negro-spirituals.
Little information could be found about
the group or people under this project; the only credit is for A. Hobbs for
being the composer of three originals and the arranger of two tracks; other two
songs arrangements are co-credited by Hobbs (the aforementioned?) and Dorsey.
Even the band name is not clear. So, more information will be merrily grateful!
The seven tracks of this ten-inch
vinyl have soulful vibes (e.g. “I'll wait till my change come” or “I'm working
on the building”), dope accelerated gospel (“You've been good to me”) or bluesy
rhythms (“Wonderful!”, “Been dipped in the water”) heavenly driven by the
keyboards, where the Hammond organ is clearly the protagonist. Black voices are
in great shape too, both in choirs (males-females) and in soloists (mainly males),
creating addictive passages of question-response.
So, hope you enjoy this outstanding vitalizing
record, just perfect for these dates!
