"It's Amazing" - The Glorious Female Gospel 1947-1952

Truly Amazing. For Black Gospel collectors/fans this is a very good album to have. The songs and the interpretations are worth a careful hearing. Many of the arrangements (versions) are more spare than later versions. Accompaniment is piano, guitar, occasionally bass. I particularly liked the songs by the Gospel Silhouettes, which sounded a lot like Dorothy Love Coates and the Gospel Harmonettes to me. Their "Rock in a Weary Land" really rocks. I liked "My Trouble is Hard" by the Southern Revivalists also: very plain but effective singing by soloist and backup group. (Amazon) (This P-Vine is now out of print and hard to find)
