The box set features 36 performances she recorded for Columbia between 1954 and 1969, offering a comprehensive, but by no means ...

Mahalia Jackson
Mahalia Jackson rewrote the rules for singing gospel in the late '40s by bringing blues phrasing and other secular elements into sacred song, and with her powerful alto, she sang with an immediacy and conviction that are still startling when they break out of the speakers some 30 years after her death. This two-disc set collects tracks from ...
