Various – Great Lakes Gospel: Detroit (fire vinyl)

Over the decades, Numero has excavated a metric ton of recordings from the depths of Detroit. From all manner of mini Motowns we’ve uncovered soul, R&B, funk, disco, boogie, and by nature of proximity-gospel. Previous examinations of the Revival and Big Mack labels turned up more than a few new apocryphal hymns, and Great Lakes Gospel Vol. 2 compiles a dozen curious church groups devotionally reaching towards the genres frayed edge. Get lost in ecstatic choir funk, pulpit rappin, direct-injection guitar solos, and the holy spirit, should it move you. Look around the room. You could start a church with this thing.
