Complete Sister Rosetta Tharpe Vol. 4

Info: Vol 4 of the complete recordings of the remarkable gospel singing electric guitar slinger . This double CD also gives us a wonderful sound document : her wedding ceremony enacted And recorded in front of a 20 000 audience. Sister Rosetta's religion stemmed from the black church tradition which while condemning sin also celebrated life. British jazz musicians who met the singer on a 1957 tour were bemused to find not a disapproving preacher but a swinging sister And hard drinking party gal.
