Free Music Notes for Dust on the Bible
Free Music Review: REPENT! (and listen)
Hit: 5 Stars
The more I listen to Kitty, the more I'm convinced that she really is the "Queen of Country". Each track here is beautiful music, not just the well-known title track. This reviewer favored "I Dreamed I Searched Heaven for You" and the oft-recorded "Lonesome Valley" which the Kingston Trio converted to "The Reverend Mister Black". Other listeners will have their own choices. What truly struck me is that Kitty must truely believe in what she recorded here. I can visualize other country folks doing a few Gospel tracks and then tearing up the town. Kitty probably went home to her husband and kids. It's a shame that this collection is out of print. Let's be grateful that amazon has provided a marketplace for used CDs to circulate. Let's hope that either MCA or Decca, with whom Kitty has a lifetime contract, reissues "Dust on the Bible" soon.
Dust on the Bible Poster
When the "Queen of Country Music" emerged with this gorgeous gospel album in 1959, her ticket was already written. "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels," her breakthrough 1952 single, remains one of the most significant recordings in country-music history. Wells followed that No. 1 smash with a string of top 10 hits throughout the 1950s, and Decca rewarded her with a lifetime contract in 1959. Why this Wells gem was reissued by MCA (at a super-budget price, no less) while the rest of her catalog languishes is anyone's guess, but who's complaining? Wells's austere and poised delivery is a godsend when compared to the pretentious, overwrought singing that too often dominates modern gospel music. The pure-as-snow arrangements range from fiddle-and-steel to organ-and-chorus, but attention is always focused on Wells's pristine voice. --Marc GreilsamerCountry Music CDs
