As I said from the beginning, this blog would be somewhat in alphabetical order, and here is an example, miss filed in the "C" section. The power and the glory in Shirley Caesar's voice is staggering, just staggering. Like Mahalia before her Shirley has stayed in the gospel world as a singer and minister. The first time I heard her was when she participated in a compilation album of Bob Dylan's religious songs with a steamroller performance of Gotta Serve Somebody. If you've never heard Shirley's magnificent voice check these out.
Figured I'd use this blog to catalogue my record collection. I'll be providing some technical information on the albums as well as my thoughts. My collection is non-genre specific. I keep the bulk of them alphabetized by Artist. However, I also maintain a section I refer to as the esoteric field, which contains unusual records, and artists I wouldn't remember the name of if they weren't in this category. The Classical and Compilation albums are also in separate sections.
