Vol 4 of the complete recordings of the remarkable gospel singing, electric guitar slinger . This double CD also gives us a wonderful sound document: her wedding ceremony, enacted and recorded in front of a 20,000 audience. Sister Rosetta’s religion stemmed from the black church tradition which, while condemning sin, also celebrated life. British jazz musicians who met the singer on a 1957 tour were bemused to find not a disapproving preacher, but a swinging sister and hard drinking party gal.
