Al was asking for Reverend Julius Cheeks recordings, I knew I didn't have any albums, but the name totally rang a bell. Turns out it's from a track off of this album. It's a great collection of funk laden gospel, every tracks a winner in my book . . . hope you enjoy it

ReplyDeleteHaha search for cheeks
ReplyDeletecool man, I have a bunch of gospel too but I always want more good stuff, mostly cos I don't know what I'm looking for with it, nothing worse than getting some gospel and it turns out to be some actual lame ass christian choir in 1998 singing about how they want Jesus to be their boyfriend. I like the hellfire and damnation shit.
I agree wholeheartedly. the hellfire and damnation shit of which you speak can be more potent and rockin' than rock n roll.
