The Staple Singers - Negro Spirituals And Gospelsongs
Review by james smythe
The album Negro Spirituals And Gospelsongs by Staple Singers is a timeless masterpiece that showcases the group's exceptional talent and passion for music. The album features a collection of traditional Negro spirituals and gospel songs that have been reimagined and performed with a modern twist.
The album opens with the powerful track "Swing Down Chariot," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The Staple Singers' unique blend of gospel, blues, and soul is evident throughout the album, with standout tracks like "Nobody Knows The Trouble I've Seen" and "I'm Gonna Tell God All Of My Troubles."
Mavis Staples' soulful vocals are a highlight of the album, and her delivery on tracks like "This May Be The Last Time" and "I Know I've Been Changed" is nothing short of stunning. The group's harmonies are also exceptional, with each member adding their own unique flair to the songs.
