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 ...

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 ...

Gospels & Spirituals: The Gold Collection

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 ...

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 ...
