Hit: 5 Stars
Sister Rosetta Tharpe is incredible - both her singing and her guitar playing are fantastic. She performs gospel songs infused with r&b and blues, and was transforming gospel and bringing it to the public long before the well-known pioneers Sam Cooke, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, The Staple Singers, and James Brown. They took gospel intensity and song forms and turned them into soul and r&b in the fifties and sixties; Tharpe is more gospel-based, and began her recording career in the thirties - though she recorded a bit of more straight-ahead blues - and got into a lot of hot water with the gospel community for her trouble! She continued to play well into the late sixties. The Proper label 4-cd box set is excellent without a doubt, but I actually prefer this because the fidelity is so outstanding. For anyone who loves music from that magical time before rock'n'roll, soul, and r&b became the 'thing,' Tharpe's music is a must, and really something of a revelation. Unfortunately she's one of American music's sorely overlooked foundations, so do yourself a favor and hear her music!
