Easter Sunday Gospel Time!
Madame Edna Gallmon Cooke - The Hammer Rings
Today's selection is one of my favorite Easter-themed gospel recordings. Madame Cooke takes the listener to the foot of the cross and mournfully tells the story of the Crucifixion. Her melismatic delivery worries almost every single note of the song, and the background singers add to the atmosphere of the song. It's powerful stuff.
