SISTER ROSETTA THARPE
Gospel Train
DESTINATION MOON (ITALY) LP Clear Vinyl
Reissue, originally released in 1956.
Hailed as the "Godmother of rock n' roll," the pioneering singer and guitarist Sister Rosetta Tharpe was the first major gospel star, her skills on electric guitar and blend of the sacred and secular a major influence on Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, and Elvis, as well as Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, and Jeff Beck.
She began recording in the 1930s and Gospel Train, her first for Mercury, was a dynamite comeback, recorded in 1956 with quartet the Harmonizing Four, its popularity leading to a four-month UK tour.
It's a killer set from start to finish and required listening for lovers of rock, blues, and gospel. Clear vinyl.
