Free Music Notes for Complete Recorded Works, Vol. 1 (1938-1941)
Free Music Review: YOu may know the singer;let's discover the guitar player !
Hit: 5 Stars
I'm not very fond of gospel music.This repertoire,sung by choirs always bored me.Even Mahalia Jackson doesn't interest me very much.But I love sacred songs sung and played by Louis Armstrong,or Fats Waller,or New Orleans Brass Bands;and I go crazy when I listen to these tunes sung by Aretha Franklin (her "gospel" album on Chess,recorded at her father's church when she was 14),or by Blind Willie Johnson,Blind Willie McTell,Reverend Gary Davis,Mississippi John Hurt,Fred McDowell.In fact,I love the blues,down-to-earth way of playing this music.Sister Rosetta Tharpe (1915-1973) belongs to this category of extraordinary singers and guitar players.Her very expressive voice reminds of Dinah Washington.And she was a very talented guitar player.Using a dobro,her playing offers reminiscences of Big Bill Broonzy and Bukka White.Sister Rosetta is alone on 21 of the 26 tracks of this CD (tracks 1-17 and 23-26).ON tracks 18-22,she sings with Lucky Millinder and his orchestra,a band which was very popular in NYC at the end of the thirties.Among the musicians,Panama Francis,Bill Doggett,Francis Webster,Eli Robinson,Buster Bailey,George Duvivier.THis first volume of Sister Rosetta Tharpe's complete recorded works offers a good opportunity to discover her incredibly swinging guitar playing,and her very beautiful and moving voice.In the following years,she was to record maybe the greatest masterpieces (with Blind Willie Johnson's tunes) in the gospel idiom,with the support of the immense Sammy Price on piano,and the young Kenny Clarke on drums.I think that the three volumes issuedby this label are equally important and interesting.In this one,there is a special country blues flavor that delights me.Hope you'll feel the same.
