Shaw Singers: Yesterday and Today
Posted on December 20, 2006 by hcrink
'Nuther really cool homemade gospel rarity from down south. What makes this one especially interesting is that one side consists of very crude almost home-recorded sounding piano and vocal duets, while the other is slightly more produced and features a backing band. I'm assuming this split is referenced in the "Yesterday and Today" title. Both sides have a very low-key earthy charm to them though. One of those albums that really seems to capture a few moments from a long gone time and place very candidly and beautifully.
