- Description
This album presents the distinctive Bahamian religious vocal music of anthems and “rhyming spirituals,” which seem to combine the traditions of singing sermons, African drum and bell rhythms, and call-and-response; featuring Raymond Pinder and Joseph Spence, whom James Taylor, Ry Cooder, and Jerry Garcia have all claimed as an inspiration.
