Description
The powerfully funky assertions of liberation theology make the two-hour set consisting of the A and B sides of 17 singles essential for fans of Southern soul, protest music and anyone interested in expanding their knowledge of 1970s black gospel beyond the Staple Singers.
The Rance Allen Group, the biggest name on the set, is represented by five strong singles. But it’s the deep cuts that make compilations like The Gospel Truth: The Complete Singles Collection rewarding. Charles and Annette May’s "Keep My Baby Warm" is startlingly sensual. Joshie Jo Armstead’s "Ride Out the Storm" is an anthem for our time. The 21st Century’s “Who’s Supposed to be Raising Who” may be the most danceable parental guidance diatribe ever laid down.
