GOOD GOD! A GOSPEL FUNK HYMNAL

A collection of this nature can only exist in hindsight. Gospel Funk is a genre in the same way that deep soul or acid folk are, created by collectors and enthusiasts as a way to define a subsection of another genre. There aren\'t any labels, artists, or producers that focused strictly on funky gospel music; rather, there were a couple hundred groups that had a funkier number in their repertoire. The Numero Group has spent the last year scouring LPs and 45s for tracks that fit this bill, and have collected 18 standouts from this newly minted genre. The album is a mix of primitive choirs, spacious breaks, congas, elderly rappers impersonating the devil, cast recordings, thumping bass, and JB impressionists, all with a heavy slathering of gospel gravy.??Tracklist?A1 Preacher & The Saints - Jesus Rhapsody Part 1 3:19 ?A2 5 Spiritual Tones - Bad Situation 2:03 ?A3 Mighty Walker Brothers - God Been Good To Me 3:01 ?A4 Masonic Wonders - I Call Him 3:46 ?A5 Mighty Voices Of Wonder - I Thank The Lord 3:17 ?B1 Voices Of Conquest - O Yes My Lord 2:27 ?B2 Gospel Comforters - Jesus Will Help Me 3:01 ?B3 Horace Family - God Will Dry My Weeping Eyes 3:11 ?B4 Trevor Dandy - Is There Any Love 4:30 ?C1 Sam Taylor - Heaven On Their Minds 3:02 ?C2 Triumphs - We Don't Love Enough 3:34 ?C3 Brother John Witherspoon - That's Enough 1:49 ?C4 Shakelford Singers - God Is All Over Me 3:12 ?C5 Cliff Gober - A Poor Wayfaring Stranger 3:25 ?D1 Universal Jubileers - Childhood Days 4:04 ?D2 Modulations - This Old World Is Going Down 3:39 ?D3 Apostles Of Music - Look Where He Brought Us From 3:39 ?D4 LaVice & Company - Thoughs Were The Days 3:05
