Tharpe, Sister Rosetta - Four Classic Albums CD

AVID Roots presents the latest release in our Four Classic Albums series with a 2CD release from Sister Rosetta Tharpe complete with original artwork, liner notes and personnel details. “Gospel Train”; “The Gospel Truth (1959)”, “Sister Rosetta Tharpe” and “The Gospel Truth- All New! Her Greatest Gospel Hits (1962)”. Some call her “the original soul sister” while others call her “the Godmother of Rock n Roll”. As you listen to Sister Rosetta Tharpe’s incredible voice on this exciting new release from AVID, you will surely decide, as we did, that both titles capture her extremely accurately! Starting her singing career in the late 1930s and into the 1940s, her influence truly begins in the rock n roll era with many artists of the day ringing her praises from Little Richard and Chuck Berry to Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley. Into the 60s and 70s when the likes of Aretha and Tina Turner would drop her name while over in the rock world Clapton, Richards and Beck all paid their respects.
