Waymon "Gusman" Jones loved gospel music. Especially,  he loved the rich stirring sounds of the quartets he heard as a farm boy in rural Georgia, then in his adopted hometown of Savannah, Georgia, where he set up his Gusman Record Shop. From his passion came an indispensible legacy of gospel song.

Between 1961 and 1978, Waymon Jones recorded and issued a stream of essential recordings by the Golden Stars of Greenwood, SC, the White Family Singers of Savannah, GA, the Six Voices of Zion of Columbia, SC, the Flying Clouds of Augusta, GA, and many others.

This three- CD set captures on 71 rare recordings the sounds Jones wanted
everyone to hear, giving 21st century listeners a unique opportunity to roll back the years and hear the vital and vibrant sounds of a southern community's gospel music world in a simpler age. The enclosed booklet features historic group and label photographs and extensive notes by gospel music researcher and writer Alan Young

Yet another WOW KC. Great stuff and it's just such a joy making new discoveries. Sounds like the White Family have been listening closely to the Staple Singers and what a glorious mess of a song the Golden Tones' I Will Answer is, remarkable. Loved the True-Tone Singers but the Golden Stars and the Six Voices of Zion - well, like I say, wow.

I'm going to have to get the box back from Cliff because I completely spaced on the scans, I'm tickled you love it ceedee, there are two more discs to look forward to! I feel like these Gospel sets seem easier to digest a disc at a time rather than all at once, what do you think?

LAZZ said...

I think so, too.
