  • Description

    'The Rough Guide to the Roots of Gospel' traces the development of gospel music during its early recorded history. Featuring the greatest names in early gospel music including Thomas A. Dorsey, Arizona Dranes, Rev. J.M. Gates and many more.

    These beautiful tracks were born out of grief and suffering which served as a beacon of hope for singers and listeners alike. They range from the musical sermons of ordained ministers to the "jack-leg" musical preaching of street performers. This collection offers a unique insight into the first great wave of recorded gospel artists who remain an inspiration to this day

    Lovingly remastered using pioneering restoration techniques.
