 Good News from a Good Band!
Submitted on: 2007-04-27 |

Gospel means, as the translation yearns for accuracy, The Good News (God Spell)! This music definitely conveys a positive message. The musicians are genuine, even though they do not hail from authentic places on the map that typically produce Americana/Blues/Gospel music. You say from...the East Village of Manhattan? I read somewhere that the band's beginning--or genesis, to remain in the proper vernacular--at Gospel nights jam session at a local church; for local NYC musicians following September the Eleventh. 2001.
I like the music because it sounds good; no great. But I love the music because of what it imparts--Tomorrow will be better than today, and yesterday wasn't all that bad because there was hope in today!
Enjoy!

 Is it gospel or not?

There seems to be much debate in the other reviews as to how to classify this material. Some of the songs ARE gospel and some clearly are not. But really- WHO CARES? You can classify some songs as this or that but the entire CD shows a range of styles,
The misic is all well done and seems to be a descendant of the Band's music as Amy Helm is the daughter of Levon, the great Band singer and drummer. This is agreat debut rrom a band with a lot of potential. |

Best. Gospel. Ever.

| I bought this on the strength of the powerful "Get Back Temptation," which I heard on Public Radio's "World Cafe" several months ago during my morning commute. There's a considerable range of styles on this album, from swamp-blues ("Get Back Temptation") to traditional Baptist church harmonies ("Two Steps") to smoky lounge jazz ("Elijah Rock," "No More My Lawd") to something approaching electronic punk ("John the Revalator"); yet it all fits together beautifully. This is some of the best Gospel music you will ever hear--Gospel music that kicks Satan's butt! |

| A fine offering from Olabelle. The NY based group enjoy themselves with a mixture of traditional and up to date music with a gospel/spiritual/roots foundation. If you lean towards this genre this album's for you. |

| This cd is the perfect collection of songs for those drawn to slide guitar and dobro. It would be great for those interested in a gospel theme without sounding like gospel music, if that makes sense. If you like the blues, if you like great harmonies, interesting acoustic work and songs that sound about a hundred years old from the South, give this a try. There are at least 3 lead vocalists in this group - good variety or better - diversity of sound. They are fabulous on stage - a real tribute to their talent. I'm waiting for their next release. |
