Various Go Devil Go! (LP)

(Jerome) 14 tracks

A cool gospel compilation ranging from hypnotic, primitive, mid-tempo country blues to chaotic, raw R&B workouts. Guitars and furious handclaps accompany singers who seem to be out of this world, pushing their way to the other side with all their might. Go Devil Go is a selection from the 3-CD set “Fire In My Bones”, which was compiled by Mike McGonigal in 2009. Most of the recordings included here were released on 45s or 78s for lesser known independent companies, some by tiny local labels and sometimes paid for by the church congregation itself.
