French turnable wizards, C2C put soulful Gospel through their slice-em and dice-em test in their track "Happy" . The result is an utterly glorious track that is as dancable as it is soul-nourishing. This track was actually released in December of 2012 but just showed up on Soundcloud today. We love new music here at The Eargazm , but I'm not going to NOT share this track after hearing it for the first time. Have you ever seen something, maybe a commercial for some new product, and thought to yourself, [...]
mp3: Bell Jubilee Singers - Shadrach, Meshach And Abednego The Bell Jubilee Singers sing a tale of three young men - Shadrach, Meshach And Abednego - with such devotion to the one true god that they refused to worship a golden statue of their king. He threw them into a firey furnace, but god saved them, which impressed a bunch of people. Or so the story goes. I was familiar with various versions of this song, which often goes simply by the name Shadrach, but this one from 1971 is an absolute [...]
I've been playing a lot of video games as of late. I mean you have to do something to pass that time, right? Well the game that I have been playing lately has a lot of wonderful music in it. The game is called Bioshock: Infinite, and if you like video games you will love this one. And of course you love music, or you would not be reading this blog. Here is a wonderful old gospel song that I love, and that fits this game so well. This is Troy Baker and Courtnee Draper [...]
More CanCon! This time Toronto's disco magnate Cyclist brings it back to the pulpit with a remix for Soul Deep Records. Laden with plucky synths, piano riffs, and vocal stylings straight out of Harlem, the jam has already found support from The Magician, Jonas Rathsman of French Express, and Cosmo Baker.

A helping of country-flavored blues, Cajun, soul and gospel British guitarist George Breakfast's soulful sound wouldn't be particularly out-of-place in Muscle Shoals, Austin or even underground Nashville. There's a raspy Americana edge to his voice, and a gospel-inflected strut to of his songs that suggest everything from light '70s country to Little Feat inspired funk and Commander Cody-styled jump blues. The vocals are charmingly rough in spots, but the backing musicians are fluid and tight, and the melodies and lyrics are insinuating. Anyone looking to rekindle the 19702s warm infusion of country, blues, R&B, [...]

mp3: 'Cile Turner - Crap Shootin' Sinner Crap Shootin’ Sinner is a gospel-style ditty about a gambler trying to get into heaven. So far so normal. It’s sung by ‘Cile Turner, who was born Lucile Turner in Virginia in 1895. Apart from today selection being an entertaining tune, what’s interesting is that Turner was a white woman who from a young age embraced African-American folk songs and spirituals. This was an against the grain cultural choice that, at the time, would have challenged many in the deep South on both racial and [...]

This song, like most of my knowledge of Gospel music, comes from my History of Gospel class. For those of you who are not familiar with Gospel, the Hawkins family is one of the biggest names in the biz. Walter's brother Edwin founded the Edwin Hawkins Singers, who are most famous for the Gospel classic "Oh, Happy Day." This track comes from Walter's first project outside of the family singers; the first in the Love Alive album series. I have always loved this track. Tramaine Hawkin's voice is powerful by itself, [...]
The word is out, David Murray is back with what should be an exciting new quartet, consisting of pianist Marc Cary, bassist Jaribu Shahid and drummer Nasheet Waits. The Infinity Quartet effectively replaces Murray's Black Saint Quartet (which featured Andrew Cyrille on drums) and the album they're poised to release will be called Be My Monster Love on Motéma Music [...]
The term “apocrypha” comes from the Greek for “hidden things.” Applied the Christian Bible, it covers a wide swath of books deemed “non-canonical” by one denomination or another. The books and stories found within are pretty wild: there are dragons, beheading heroines, and Christ, as a young boy, animating clay pigeons. Generally speaking, the Bible is comprised of [...]
macklemore & ryan lewis feat ray dalton - can't hold us i don't think i've commented about this seattle rapper on this blog (even though ' thrift shop ' landed in my year end guilty pleasure list), but ben haggerty (aka macklemore) and his partner ryan lewis released one of the most musically commercial and lyrically diverse albums of last year. in the case of their latest single, the sound is truly joyous! throw in their perfectly curated visual creativity and wacky dress sense, and you've got a definite smash for the season.

You may think you've never heard of the McCrary Sisters, but you probably have anyway: The quartet was featured, for instance, on Dr. John's Grammy-winning 2012 Dan Auerbach-produced triumph Locked Down. Regina, meanwhile, has appeared on a trio of Bob Dylan albums. Ann joined Regina on Patty Griffin's Downtown Church. Three of the four appeared on Ray Stevens' "Everything is [...]
It's been a long way to the top for Sam Beam. From his early home recordings full of reduced acoustic beauty to the success of his Twilight-contribution Flightless Bird and the well-deserved Billboard-entry with his latest work, it is quite obvious, that the man behind IRON & WINE took some time to let his music The post Iron And Wine - Ghost On Ghost appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .
Maybe this sounds crazy, I mean can you imagine Karen O singing with a gospel choir live? Well, me neither, but it seems that this is possible, and actually it doesn't even sound as bad as I expected to. OK, I have to admit, this song is really awesome. Source Yeah Yeah Yeahs The song Yeah Yeah Yeahs performed at the Late Show with David Letterman , it's Sacrilege from their latest album Mosquito which [...]
Hey y'all, it's Sunday. How about some church music? An inspiring sermon of hymns set to soul jazz is being delivered by the pastor of The Breñas Community Church in Vega Alta, Puerto Rico, and the hymnbook is called Full Circle. This pastor, Mike Arroyo, is a skilled guitarist whose mission in life has been to spread the gospel, via [...]
Of all the guitars on serious display at the final Auckland performance of Wilco's tour of Japan, Australia and New Zealand, for me it came down to Rick Holstrom of the Rick Holmstrom Band. Holstrom's spacious and groovy country blues licks drew Mavis Staples back into the days of performing on stage with Pop Staples - and then she just let rip on representing Chicago, Selma to Montgomery, marching, occupying, and an hour long certainty in the righteousness of man and song! With a playlist that spanned over 60 years and Holstroms earthy telecaster phrasings the Staples and [...]
