The Jones Family Singers - The Spirit Speaks (LP, Album)

Brand new sealed copy! (As a result, cannot confirm runout)

The Jones Family Singers, consisting in part of five sisters, two brothers and their father, have been tearing up churches and festivals for almost three decades. 'The Spirit Speaks' is their critically-acclaimed 2014 release.

“The roots of the “Hard Gospel” style of the Jones Family can be traced to the beginning of the 20th century, when slave songs became “shout songs.” After the Pentecostal movement of Holy Ghost soul possession was born on Azusa Street in Los Angeles in 1906, churchgoers spoke in tongues, rolled in the aisles and clapped their hands in sanctified percussion. Musical instruments, once considered the tools of the devil, were used to punctuate the testimony and wild, foot-stomping dances broke out at will. This was the roots of rock “n’ roll.”
– Michael Corcoran, (from the liner notes of 'The Spirit Speaks')
