Gospel Music?

bobbykokinos · #1 07-08-2006, 10:18 PM

Can anyone suggested any good Gospel music CDs? I'm not talking about Gaithers, or what I call "Barber Shop Christian Music".. Pardon my ignorance, but I guess what I'm looking for is Baptist Gospel music (someone correct me if I'm wrong). Large choirs, solid rhythm sections, B-3 organ, etc..

I know there are solo Gospel artists, but I'm looking for full choir stuff. I'd even prefer live stuff, from an actual service..

Any suggestions?

Thats what I'm talking about!

I could even go for stuff that is more like being at church. The stuff you gave me is great, but I'm kind of looking for something that would would see on Sunday church services on TV. The HEAVY stuff, you know what I mean?

I hope I'm making sense. Im not too familiar with Gospel music so I really dont know how to describe it..

Too bad you don't live in New York City. The Brooklyn Tabernacle Gospel choir and Band is awesome. They have literally a one hundred person choir. And the band is the best gospel band I have heard in a long time. The snare was the sweetest I have heard and the bass was rock solid and in the pocket. Oh it was so much fun. Praisin God is easy with a band like that.

Some later Al Green, I suppose.

Look for CDs by Mass Choirs. The Georgia and Mississippi Mass Choirs come to mind for me. I saw the Mississippi Mass Choir in Nashville about eleven years ago, and they were great. Their bassist used a Roscoe 5.

You also may want to look at Hillsong. Have quite a few of their CD's. They are all done live with a choir of 500 backing them.
Also Toronto Mass Choir, don't have their CD yet but I'm hearing they are pretty good. Also too check out the WOW series worship CD's
There is also a CD by Jars of Clay called "Redemption Songs" although they don't have a choir backing them and it's studio recorded they did alot of old gospel songs including a serious rendition of "Nothing but the Blood" .
Other than that I think the other brothers covered it.
Hope this is some help to you.

Cheers,
Desire

Ummmm, I hate to disagree with you but all of their recordings are live in front of an audience of a couple thousand people. Wouldn't exactly call them gospel either. They are an excellent band and I highly advise them.
