The Gospel Thread.

[bubinga5]

This is the thread for lovers of the fantastic world of Gospel. Old, New, it doesn't matter. This thread has no religious connotations. Its about music. 

 

Im not sure who played bass on this tbh. Sharray Reed is on the album credits. If there is one Gospel album to conquer them all its New Directions first album. Incredible stuff. The Perri Sisters stuff is also amazing.  This track is not the same as the album version. 

 

 

Please share what you know and I don't.

Love me a bit of Kirk. This is very cool. Travis Dykes bass cover of this is amazing bass playing.

Oh yes, I've waiting for this thread to happen! I absolutely love watching band footage from City of Refuge. This is from bassist Bryan White's channel, but West Coast Vibes has loads of rehearsal clips too! There's nothing like watching these guys put everything they have into it.

 

I did my best attempt at Kirks tune last year... took more than a few takes that's for sure!

I have played lying down if that counts. 
 

It was during a drum solo, and the first floor window onto a patio roof of the pub was the only escape, so I feel it was justified.

Hey all,

 

I did a gospel bass licks breakdown a few years ago here:

 

 

 

I’d love to do some more so let me know what you think and send some suggestions 🤝

Some of the more 'rootsy' kind of gospel... here the Staple Singers, will the Circle Be Unbroken:

I've got to throw some Doobie in the mix

 

The feel is immaculate.

Thanks Caleb, these look really useful. I would love to give you more suggestions, but these will keep me busy for longer than I want to admit to myself, let alone anynone else.

[Ceebass]

Sorry for the spam. More Doobie, for you when you want your mind to be bent out of shape.

4 one hour Gospel shows on BBC Sounds, presented by Mica Paris (who knows a thing or two about gospel).

Covers various styles... here's link to the first show:

I've listened to all 4... very good.
