Females have never figured strongly in the ranks of blues and rock guitar players, but the woman featured on
this LP can claim to be one of the formative influences on modern rock 'n' roll guitar. Sister Rosetta Tharpe is
remarkable, not just because she was an acclaimed gospel singer from the late Thirties to her death in 1973,
but because she was also one of the earliest exponents of the electric guitar. In fact she helped to invent the
whole concept of rock lead guitar. Her guitar-playing, which featured a fingerpicking style unusual at the
time, strongly influenced Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, Etta James, Little Richard and Bonnie
Raitt. Enjoy some of those moments on this collection selected from her prolific first recording decade.
