Great Lakes Gospel: Cleveland

Over the decades, Numero has excavated a lot of music from Ohio, specifically from Cleveland and of the gospel variety. Previous excavations of the Boddie and BOS labels turned up more than a few new apocryphal hymns, and Great Lakes Gospel compiles a dozen curious church groups devotionally reaching towards the genre's frayed edge. Get lost in ecstatic choir funk, pulpit rappin', direct-injection guitar solos, and the holy spirit, should it move you. Look around the room. You could start a church with this thing.
