Another triumph for the Soul Jazz label, this compilation will open the ears of the most jaded collector and the neophyte alike. How they managed to get all these artists to agree to appear together on one record is hard to fathom. But thank God. This one is broader in scope than previous records. Not only is there a lot of straight reggae here, but also the ska of Prince Buster, the heavy dub of King Tubby, and even a few strong doses of dancehall. This is a minor quibble, but the comp misses the highest rating for its inclusion of a Toots & the Maytals song, "54-46 Was My Number." There's nothing wrong with the song -- it's great. But its inclusion among the obscure (or at least the lesser-known) tracks is jarring. A lesser-known track or even an alternate take would have worked better here. To include one of reggae's greatest singles amidst a collection of obscurities like the rest of these tracks is somewhat perverse.

The Kings Of Gospel - Hallelujah (HOB Label) @320
The Dixie Hummingbirds, who lead off the set with "Move Up a Little Higher" and return eight tracks later with "Get Away Jordan," are sweet-voiced a cappella harmonizers. The Five Singing Stars, led by tenor Tommy Ellison, could be soul stars on "Hard to Get Along" and "Heaven to Me" if they weren't in church. Gravel-voiced Dewey Young of the Flying Clouds also has many counterparts in the secular realm, and the Brooklyn All-Stars lean toward pop music. Of course, there are also more traditional sounds, such as a live version of "Amazing Grace" by the Mighty Clouds of Joy complete with screams from the congregation and the same group's rendition of "Old Time Religion." But Kings of Gospel is a very good album to play as an example of the influence of gospel music on R&B, doo wop, and other popular vocal music of the past 40 years. (Allmusic)

THE QUEENS OF GOSPEL -Hallelujah (HOB Label) @320
A solid collection of 15 gospel greats from the legendary Hob label. Drawn from the label's 50-year history as a gospel music giant, this compilation features stellar tracks from the Clara Ward Specials, the Gospel Harmonettes, the Caravans, the Stars of Faith, and the Meditation Singers. As all these performances were recorded for single-length recordings (three minutes or so), there's no real stretching out on any of the themes, but their conciseness also pulls each of the performances into sharper focus. Grand and glorious singing, indeed.(Cub Koda, Allmusic)
1. How I Got Over - Clara Ward Specials 2. You Must Be Born Again - The Gospel Harmonettes 3. Jesus Will Fix It - The Caravans 4. I'Ve Got Shoes - The Stars Of Faith 5. Jesus Be A Fence Around Me - The Meditation Singers 6. Happy Over There (Parts 1 & 2) - Clara Ward Specials 7. Gospel Train - The Gospel Harmonettes 8. It'S Jesus In Me - The Caravans 9. Get Away Jordan - The Stars Of Faith 10. One More River To Cross - The Meditation Singers 11. When The Gates Swing Open - Clara Ward Specials 12. The Great Coronation - The Gospel Harmonettes 13.

Ron Thompson - Son Of Boogie Woogie '15 @320
Ron Thompson has been playing blues for over 4 decades and has been recording since the late 70's. His first 45 release on the Fingerpoppin label was recorded here in Santa Cruz where he played countless small clubs and appeared regularly on the radio. This new release is his best yet with a real low down groove ala Vee Jay era John Lee Hooker or lap steel bluesman Hop Wilson (both of whom are covered here). The trio includes long time Robert Cray alumni Jim Pugh whose B3 keyboard work adds real depth & dynamics to this set. Released through Pugh's LITTLE VILLAGE FOUNDATION, this set puts a quality artist back in the spotlight with a strong and well played set of traditional blues..............
1. Want Ad Blues
2. Broke & Hungry
3. Show Biz Blues
4. Too Late Brother
5. Black Cat Bone
6. Telephone Blues
7. Gettin Nasty
8. Standing At The Crossroads
9. Sugar Bee
10. Jitterbug Swing
11. Son Of Boogie Woogie
12. Frankie & Johnny

@Gyro1966 - Looks like the Queens of Gospel folder is empty.
Thank you for refreshing the gospel links. Very much appreciated.
Hi Gyro, thanks for the wonderful Gospel uploads over that last few days. Hope we can get more. It seems though that there is a problem with the zippy file for THE QUEENS OF GOSPEL -Hallelujah (size is 0 Mb). Can you kindly fix it? Many thanks
Ron Thompson is a rockin' bluesman and superb entertainer. First saw him at the old Festival By The Lake in Oakland CA many years ago. Appreciated the download.
I am away until Sunday for a short summer getaway. I will fix Queens of Gospel when I get back, plus add much more great gospel as well.
Speaking of killer Gospel comps, Does anyone have the Gospel/Soul collection SAVED AND SANCTIFIED (on Numero Group) ? Forgive me if it has already been posted and I missed it. This looks like one wicked record!! Thanks everyone for all your shares. - Reverberation
Thanks G & J for the Dynamite!
Tanx very much for re-upping Get Lost. Those re-ups are real gems - much appreciated!
