Get Right With God: Hot Gospel

More crazed ecstatic holy-ruckus-making choirs, preachers, and guitar/piano-slingers from our beloved southern states. And a handful of harmonic eerie doom-fortelling quartet recordings to round things out. Isn't it great what happens when state religion goes through the folk process? It's worth noting that the principal activity in these performances is neither entertainment nor sermonization; it is exorcism, the drawing-out of both holy and unholy vigors from the body, that their energy might be released to serve life rather than held within, suffocating. This was not the conservative, repressive Christianity adopted by so many white folks; this was a Christianity that treated redemption as a continuing process of transforming tribulation into jubilation, and the music served as the revelation of this rapture. I'm not sure to what extent it still exists, but though the music has changed, I have a feeling you can still find church communities of this kind nestled deep within the blind spots of America.
