KC's post had me recalling this classic which we posted at the Crypt. Prepare to be moved. Her voice just soars from the speakers and straight into your soul. Mahalia needs little introduction, yet her name never seems to come up as much as it should. Underrated? Hardly. I think her tight ties to gospel shut her out of the minds of many listeners. Well, I am here to tell you..."Church is in!". This album swings hard at times, and Miss Jackson's voice is hauntingly real. Her voice has instant impact. Not only ultra soulful, but with a truthfullness that can't be denied. This was ripped at 24/44.1 wav and dithered to 16/44 FLAC... enjoy!!
One of Mahalia's early Columbia albums, this brings the singer together with the Fall-Jones Ensemble. Kicking off with the autobiographical "I'm Going to Live the Life I Sing About in My Song," the set also includes stirring renditions of "Jesus Met the Woman at the Well," "I Will Move on up a Little Higher," "Didn't It Rain," "Keep Your Hand on the Plow," "Walk Over God's Heaven," and even a spirited take on the old warhorse "When the Saints Go Marching In". - Cub Koda

Thanks Poppachubby
I've got a 22 track CD of her earlier Apollo recordings but nothing from her later Columbia cuts - A remarkable and powerful voice indeed
Cheers
track 04 is not "Oh Lord Is It..." but a repetition of track 03 "Jesus Met the Woman..."
track 05 is not "I Will Move On Up..." but "Oh, Lord is It..."
track 06 is not "When The Saints..." but "I Will Move On Up A Little Higher"
Missing: When the Saints Go Marchin' In.
Please, can you upload this single track?
Thanks
