Fire in My Bones: Raw + Rare + Otherworldly African-American Gospel

One of the most joyful, fully alive and inspiring albums I’ve heard in 2009 was actually recorded, in bits and pieces, over the past several years– in fact, its earliest recording dates back to 1944. The album is Fire in My Bones, an outstanding three-disc, four-hour collection of soul-stirring black gospel music. I reviewed the album for the IMAGE Journal‘s Good Letters blog.
