Down from the Mountain: O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Down from the Mountain: O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2001) more music like this

by Various Artists

Recorded at Nashville's historic Ryman Theater as a sort of a musical wrap party for the Coen Brothers' 2000 film O Brother Where Art Thou, this album offers live versions of several of the traditional American folk songs featured in the film, with a few additions along the same vein. Sounding almost like an all-traditional country episode of "A ...

Colorblind

Colorblind (2006) more music like this

by Robert Randolph & The Family Band

Those who became aware of Robert Randolph's considerable musical gifts on either the awesome Live at the Wetlands or on the underrated Unclassified are in for a surprise. Colorblind expands the Robert Randolph & the Family Band's palette -- on tape anyway, they've been doing stuff like this on the stage for years -- stretching out from the blues ...

Worship & Faith

Worship & Faith (2003) more music like this

by Randy Travis

This may be Randy Travis' second gospel album in three years, but that doesn't make it redundant. Travis, like George Jones, Merle Haggard, and George Strait, could sing the back of a can of peas and make it sound inspired. When the material he takes on is the absolute core of country gospel and public domain spirituals, the result is nothing less ...

Peace in the Valley: The Complete Gospel Recordings [Box Set]

Peace in the Valley: The Complete Gospel Recordings [Box Set] (2000) more music like this

by Elvis Presley

An expanded three-disc collection that attempts to trump a 1994 double-disc set (Amazing Grace: His Greatest Sacred Songs) by offering virtually every single Elvis recording of a sacred song, Peace in the Valley: The Complete Gospel Recordings accomplishes the mission in its title, but at a hefty price that won't appeal to any but the most ...

My Mother's Hymn Book

My Mother's Hymn Book (2004) more music like this

by Johnny Cash

Originally included as part of the exhaustive Unearthed box set of Johnny Cash's American Records recordings, My Mother's Hymn Book is exactly what it claims to be -- songs directly out of Cash's mother's old hymnal. Featuring Cash alone playing an acoustic guitar, this is a stark, beautiful, and simple album. In the liner notes, Cash calls this ...

Passing Through

Passing Through (2004) more music like this

by Randy Travis

In 2000, Randy Travis devoted himself to gospel music, and 2004's Passing Through is the fourth religious record he cut since then, but there's a difference here: instead of focusing on explicitly Christian material, Travis has collected a set of songs and stories about how faith affects life. It's inspirational music in the purest sense -- it ...

An excellent 24-song sampling of '50s and '60s sacred testifying from the vaults of Specialty Records, it includes essential cuts from Dorothy Love Coates, the Swan Silvertones, and Sam Cooke and the Soul Stirrers. John Floyd, All Music Guide

Elvis: Ultimate Gospel [Bonus Track]

Elvis: Ultimate Gospel [Bonus Track] (2004) more music like this

by Elvis Presley

Though RCA released only three LPs and an EP of dedicated gospel material during the lifetime of Elvis Presley, it's likely that he sang more gospel than any other type of music. Late at night, after a session or a show, Elvis would seek out and keep awake anyone who could carry a tune, in order to pore over the nuggets of gospel music he had ...

Elvis' Christmas Album

Elvis' Christmas Album (1957) more music like this

by Elvis Presley

This combines the four tracks from the Peace in the Valley EP with recordings of seasonal standards and popular Christmas classics (Elvis does outstanding versions of "Blue Christmas" and covers The Drifters' arrangement of "White Christmas"). But the album comes together with the lascivious "Santa Claus Is Back in Town," penned by Leiber And ...

You'll Never Walk Alone (1971) more music like this

by Elvis Presley

Another budget album, this one collects various gospel items from sundry sources ("Let Us Pray" was the closer to what may be Elvis's most outrageous piece of celluloid, 1969's Change of Habit) and orbiting them around the four tracks from 1957's Peace in the Valley EP (no longer a part of Elvis's Christmas Album, which had been deleted and then ...

How Great Thou Art (1967) more music like this

by Elvis Presley

How Great Thou Art, Elvis' second gospel album, had very different conceptions of gospel music on its two sides. The first side, including the title track and "In the Garden," was very high church , with hymnal readings and quietly burbling organ accompaniment. The second side was a far more exciting proposition, with an alternately rocking or ...

Known Only to Him: Elvis Gospel 1957-1971 (1989) more music like this

The second of two albums assembled by the Country Music Foundation's Jay Orr (the other is Elvis in Nashville), Elvis Gospel 1957-1971: Known Only to Him was a 14-track compilation culled largely from Presley's inspirational records, the 1957 EP Peace in the Valley and the albums His Hand in Mine (1960), How Great Thou Art (1967), and He Touched ...

Silent Night, Holy Night (195?) more music like this

by Mahalia Jackson

Although the endless repackaging of Mahalia Jackson's Christmas material goes against the very spirit in which these songs were originally recorded, there's no denying that her performances never fail to retain their affecting power. Silent Night, Holy Night is one of the better budget-line Jackson reissues on the market, highlighted by renditions ...

The best and most famous cuts from their glory years at Stax. Includes their massive hits "Respect Yourself" and "I'll Take You There"; less famous but similar gospel-funk fusions like "Touch a Hand (Make a Friend)" and "Heavy Makes You Happy (Sha-Na-Boom Boom)"; and less expected items like a cover of "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay."

The return to CD of New York's favorite sons, the Holmes Brothers, is a welcome one. Indeed, while fans know what to expect -- a killer mélange of soul, blues, gospel, and funk -- those combinations are always surprising. Sherman and Wendell Holmes and drummer/vocalist Popsy Dixon have opted to work with producer Craig Street (Cassandra Wilson, ...

The Fairfield Four were once among the finest hard gospel ensembles around. Unfortunately, they didn't stay together as long as their comrades, disbanding in 1950 due to business problems. They reunited 30 years later, then received a National Heritage Fellowship award in 1989. This wonderful 1992 release features awesome harmonies, a guest ...

Around the time of this album's release, the Fairfield Four reached a new peak in mainstream visibility, complete with an appearance backing Elvis Costello on The David Letterman Show.

If ever there were a time for Mavis Staples to return to recording, 2004 is it. Her tenure with her family's group the Staple Singers led by her late father Pops offered a steadying, positive presence on the pop scene during the late antiwar unrest and civil rights struggles of the 1960s through the 1970s.
