Nah, it's cool, he's dead to me. Rock and roll.

 

[Lefty Frizzell]

Hmm.How'd he die then?

yeah beautiful stuff, it seems to have a soothing, slouching effect depending on the chair one is sitting in.

its on the way.

Sam Cooke (and the Soul Stirrers)'s Jesus Give Me Water is inspirational. That and Touch The Hem of His Garment nearly turned this atheist to religion. (I decided to just become devoted to gospel music instead.)

If we're on the soul train, Susan Cadogan rocks. Fell in love with Don't Burn Your Bridges off Orbital's Back To Mine compilation, and my boyfriend very sweetly found a whole album somewhere in the (Amazon) vaults for me for my birthday.

I like the cut of your jib, sister. The Soul Stirrers songs you mentioned are wonderful- their song "Jesus, I'll Never Forget" is another gem. If you haven't already, you ought to look into the Swan Silvertones for some old time religion and lovely vocal stylings. I haven't heard Susan Cadogan before, but I will be investigating.

 

[oh shit]

Cool, thanks for the recommendations.

Just in case I wasn't clear, Susan Cadogan is straight soul, not gospel soul (although I'm sure there are a few in her back catalogue, as it's how most of them start off).

 

[Zeelander]

shall i add her to the list?

Sure, why not! Thank you a million brazillion times.

I'll let you know when I listen to the rest of the album, yeah, now that I think about it, the Bridges one is quite reggae-ish, but I think she's from a soul background. No doubt someone on here will know more...

"Born Alison Anne Cadogan on November 2, 1951, in Kingston, Jamaica, she came from a musical family, and her mother had in fact released a number of gospel records during her childhood."

She has an album called "Soulful Reggae", so maybe we're both right? Allmusic.com categorises her as "lovers' rock", which just sounds horrific.
