Description
Introducing The Sojourners…Will Sanders, Ron Small and Marcus Mosely. The trio originally came together to provide background vocals to Jim Byrnes’ 2007 Juno Award winning CD, 'House Of Refuge'.
Produced by multi-award winning Steve Dawson, this is the debut recording for the Vancouver-based trio, all of whom are integral members of Vancouver’s premiere gospel choir, The Good Noise Vancouver Gospel Choir. With minimal accompaniment, and recorded live off the floor in Vancouver, the album captures the spirit of the “old school” gospel recordings of the 1930s and ‘40s - harmonies (in the tradition of such groups as The Swan Silvertones, The Golden Gate Quartet, The Soul Stirrers) combined with soulful multi-textured vocals reminiscent of Curtis Mayfield’s famous trio, The Impressions.
Tracks: Eyes On The Prize / Run On / Children Go Where I Send Thee / Jesus Hits Like The Atom Bomb / Ol Ship Of Zion / Satisfied With Jesus / Have A Little Talk With Jesus / Clean Up / Walking Up The King’s Highway / People Get Ready / Farther Along.
