BLUES BEFORE SUNRISE FOR 11/9/25 |
||
|
This week on BBS we spotlight a four-CD vintage Gospel set, Classic Gospel, on the Acrobat Label. First issued in 2017 this package presents 90 vintage recordings originally produced by Don Roby’s landmark Peacock Label, based in Houston, TX. The sides were issued 1951 – 1960 and include The Dixie Hummingbirds, The Five Blind Boys of Mississippi, Spirit of Memphis Quartet, The Bells of Joy, Rev Cleophus Robinson – and the group we’ll focus on, The Sensational Nightingales – featuring Rev. Julius Cheeks. It’s great harmony & hard shouting! Only on BBS! |
