Black & White - County & Bluegrass
Gospel Boogie is an exploration of uptempo gospel music from my record collection. The show focuses on the early post-war years, 1945-1965. Most of the time, the various forms of gospel music are segregated. On Gospel Boogie, that will not be the case. I play backwoods country gospel, black gospel and white gospel quartets…..side by side, toe to toe. It is all the same as far as I am concerned. There was much cross-pollination between the styles back when these records were new. The show aspires to live up to that standard. The show does not purport to be a total exploration of all gospel music from the time. It is what I like. If I do not like the song, it will not be played. I welcome any comments and hope you find something new to listen to and enjoy. The number of gospel records from the period feels to be endless, thank goodness for that!
