OVERVIEW ::
"Morgan fires up traditional hymns with hot chant and spoken reverie, accompanied only by her clanging tambourine. This is divine minimalism, a meaty hallelujah in which you can clearly hear the Delta-church origins of Jamaican Rasta-DJ culture and early Bronx hip hop." - David Fricke, Rolling Stone
Sister Gertrude Morgan (1900-1980) was a painter, singer, and self-proclaimed "bride of Christ" whose visually-explosive folk art is celebrated on the museum circuit world-wide. But her sole album, made in New Orleans in the 1960s, is one of black gospel music's secret relics. Those recordings were unearthed and a limted number of copies were released to unanimous and widespread critical acclaim in 2003. ropeadope has remastered the original recording and released it with extensive liner notes, artwork and more. A must-have for any true music fan.
