How to find an original description of an album sounding the same as a host of other Black Gospel offerings? It's all there - stomping rampaging coir, sizzling rhythms, lashings of energy. But why would anyone buy a cluster of these soundalike discs with their endless chain of almost indistinguishable songs? Sure, there's the exception, such as Brunson, but the Mt. Calvary songsters are firmly in the pack, I 'm sorry to say. "Best For Last" is a competent album, but only needed by the addicted devotee of the genre, who need every Black Gospel issue available.
