So I know very little about classic gospel. But I want to learn. Preferably less corny recent stuff and more classic.

And what I do know about gospel is that this:



is easily one of the greatest albums I've ever heard.

So throw out some recs or knowledge if you have it. I'm eager to learn.

I know I love this song, which I looked up when I saw a review that said it makes "Aretha sound like she's reciting poetry":

I've actually been trying to find an album called Slide Guitar Gospel (1944-1964) from this European reissue company called Document that has all the recorded works of Rev. Utah Smith and Rev. Lonnie Farris. Can't find a d/l anywhere and it's OOP, but it sounds awesome:

He's a heck of a singer. Got a decent place to start with him?

All I've heard from her so far is At Last, but it makes me happy to know she had more facets.
