Important overview of early Southern Gospel, January 25, 2006

Kevin Fontenot (New Orleans, LA United States) - See all my reviews
     

This review is from: Mountain Gospel (Audio CD)

Few genres of music have been so shoddily reissued as Southern Gospel, the white style of religious music that began in the early 20th century. This impressive four CD box sets out to correct some of that oversight. The groups here are mostly country groups, singers that also had careers in the hillbilly field as it was then known. There are some impressive gospel sides on this set, most importantly the Phipps singers and Alfred Karnes. (The Document cds of these artists were recently deleted, so it nice to have the sides back in print.) Very welcome are cuts by the Laurel Firemen and Vaughan quartets, though much more of the white quartet material needs to be reissued to have a fuller appreciation of the genre. If you enjoy country style gospel and are interested in the history of early Southern Gospel, this is a set you need to add to your collection.

Mountain Gospel CD Set, September 11, 2009

My father and his brother recorded a song on this CD set in 1929. That is the main reason I bought it. I haven't really listened to any other songs on the CDs. Sorry.

This review is from: Mountain Gospel (Audio CD)

I was looking forward to hearing these tunes based on the (1) positive review, but if you are a gospel fan, pass on this set. They were "remastered" in someone's imagination. Surface noise is so prevalent in many tunes, you cannot make out the lyrics. There are also far too many songs by a single group or artist, no less than 12 by "Ernest Phipps & His Holiness Queartet." Most of the "Mountain Gospel" selections sound as if they were one-take specials from a carnival recording booth. They have historical value, but the wildly off key voices and amateur accompaniment quickly relegtated this set for my recycle bin.
