Label : Champ Records
Value :
One of those rare gospel albums that sounds nothing like conventional gospel – and which instead is a wonderful criss-crossing of soul, funk, and spirit – all guided by an artist who's as righteous as his message! The set was recorded in Nashville, and has a nicely laidback approach – with lead vocals from Andre Wartts, in a raspy style that almost owes a bit to Curtis Mayfield – especially in the way that Curtis could easily shift between the secular and spiritual, and always make the whole thing sound incredibly personal. Yet there's also some currents of jazz, some moments of funk, and a really collaborative approach to the album – as the Gospel Storytellers are clearly a very close-knit, intimate group – one who really come alive when some of the backup vocalists join Andre's lead.By Dusty
