  Truely a rare collection of "blues gospel" songs. With exceptions of the last three tracks, the songs were recorded in 1920s and 30s. Mostly performed by black musicians though there are few songs by white singers.
  Although the CD cover and liner notes have "I Shall Wear A Crown" by Juanita Arizona Dranes as the track 15, it is not included unfortunately.
