Vintage gospel celebrated on new box set

A THREE CD set compilation of vintage gospel music has been released by Tompkins Square Records. 'Fire In My Bones: Raw And Rare And Other Worldly African American Gospel 1944-2007' features such artists as Rev Lonnie Farris, Snooks Eaglin, Sensational Skylights and many more. Read a review in the Red Lick catalogue, "This is God-bothering music from all kinds of sources - church services, folk festivals, radio broadcasts and field recordings along with tracks taken from 45s, 78s and long forgotten obscure LPs that have gospel singers hollering, screaming and moaning over pianos, lap-steel guitars, organs, electric guitars, drums and even, in the case of the Elder Roma Wilson Family's version of 'Better Get Ready', with four interweaving harp players!"
