The Very Best of the Golden Gate Quartet

The Very Best of the Golden Gate Quartet (1997) more music like this

by Golden Gate Quartet

The Very Best of the Golden Gate Quartet is a terrific collection of songs the group recorded in France for EMI Pathe between 1955 and 1969, including versions of "Shadrack" and "Oh Happy Day." Although these aren't the versions that made them stars, they are nevertheless quite good and offer a good sense of what the group is about. Thom Owens, ...

How Can I Keep from Singing, Vol. 2 (1996) more music like this

by Various Artists

As with its predecessor, How Can I Keep From Singing Vol.2: Early American Religious Music and Song combines a mere handful of well known performers from the golden age of American Folk Music with a number of more mysterious names. In the place of obvious choices like Reverend Gary Davis and Blind Willie Johnson, for example, we find Shands ...

Testify!: The Gospel Box

Testify!: The Gospel Box (1999) more music like this

by Various Artists

Certainly, it seems like it would be easy to compile a definitive gospel box set, much like Rhino's definitive Doo Wop Box. After all, much classic gospel was never widely distributed and has been out of print for years, and many listeners would like one sweeping set that captures the best of the music. This is especially true since gospel is ...

I'm a Man of Constant Sorrow

I'm a Man of Constant Sorrow (2002) more music like this

by Various Artists

Though it was obviously released simply to capitalize on the resurgence of interest in old-timey music occasioned by the success of O Brother, Where Art Thou?, the 20-track collection I'm a Man of Constant Sorrow is an amazing, practically faultless compilation. Virtually every song here is a classic, whether for fans of old-timey, country, early ...

Mighty Day: 25 Gospel Greats (2006) more music like this

by Various Artists

This wonderful set of period gospel tracks ranging from the 1920s through the mid-'50s from Document Records has all the proof you'll ever need that gospel was instrumental in the creation of rock & roll, R&B, doo wop, soul, and even rap and hip-hop, as track after track clatters along on explosive rhythms and inventive vocal arrangements. It's ...

Gospels & Spirituals: The Gold Collection (1998) more music like this

by Various Artists

America's Favorite: Gospels & Spirituals: The Gold Collection is a budget-line collection that contains an odd cross-section of traditional gospel, country-gospel and contemporary gospel. It's unclear where many of these performances come from -- it's a jumble of original recordings, live tracks and re-recordings -- but it actually gels into an ...

Travelin' Shoes (1992) more music like this

by The Golden Gate Quartet

Bluebird's Travelin' Shoes is a terrific collection that contains 25 tracks the Golden Gate Quartet recorded between 1937 and 1939. During those years, the group was at their peak, and their a cappella harmonies proved to be quite influential on successive generations of gospel singers, as they had enough foresight to add jazz and blues ...

Words and Music of World War II (1991) more music like this

by Various Artists

This two-CD audio documentary mixes popular songs (usually excerpts) of the early to mid-'40s inspired by World War II and excerpts of famous speeches and news reports of the time, joined by some slightly ostentatious narration. If you're a music collector, it's not the ideal way to hear World War II topical songs, because most of the music tracks ...
