REV. LOUIS OVERSTREET
An Evening With Rev. Louis Overstreet :
His Guitar, His Four Sons & The Congregation Of St. Luke Powerhouse Church Of God In Christ
(US Arhoolie, F 1014, 1963)
Ideal for collectors!! First press in TOP SHAPE!! Essential Arhoolie album documenting a storming church service recorded in Arizona by Chris Strachwitz.
This little blurb from the Folkways website describes the album perfectly:
Arhoolie Records founder Chris Strachwitz first heard gospel singer the Reverend Louis Overstreet in Scotlandville, Louisiana, in 1960, and was captivated by Rev. Overstreet’s ability to bring the gospel to people outside of a formal church setting. In 1962, Strachwitz sought out Rev. Overstreet to record him and his sons. He traced him to Phoenix, Arizona, where he was preaching at St. Luke’s Powerhouse Church of God in Christ. This collection features Rev. Overstreet and his four sons in a church service and in solo performance at Rev. Overstreet’s home. These “field” recordings capture the passion of the Rev. Overstreet’s performances.
So hard to find one of these in such decent shape!!
