Sunday morning gospel--The Valley Voices and Bilray.

We're about to hear some terrific a cappella gospel performances by The Valley Voices of West Virginia (Irene Chadwick--alto; Lester Blackburn--bass; Tim Maynard--lead; and Kenneth Adkins--Tenor). No year listed on the cover (there never is!), but I'm guessing 1967-ish. The photo cries out late Sixties....

This, by the way, is one of the saved-from-water-destruction LPs I found last week at the Licking County Aging Program flea market. A small water mark toward the right-hand bottom (visible in photo) is all the damage sustained by the cover, thanks to quick transfer to a dry environment.

I ripped all but two tracks from the LP, those two being beyond hope. I spent hours de-clicking the others, but music this good deserves the best editing effort one can muster up. Heck, it's my job as a blogger.

A gem, placed in a single folder for your convenience--and Box.net's zip-file option is back up and running! (At last!) So, feel free to d/l them all at once.

Welcome back, zip-file option.

The Valley Singers--What Will Your Answer Be (Riverside Records 102).

Tracklist:

What Will Your Answer Be
I Am on the Road
Hard Working Pilgrim
I Know I'll Feel at Home
You Can Take My Place
When I Get Home
When We Gather By the River
Who
I Want to Hear Little David Play
Let Me Go Down to the River


Do you know the one about the pussy-footin' preacher? I didn't, either, until I found a coverless disc called "Bilray": Bill Sings Ray Plays What Manner Love in the same box that yielded the Valley Voices. That's what the label says. I'm guessing that "Bilray" is a merging of "Bill and Ray" and that "What Manner Love" is the LP title.

Such wisdom, of course, comes only after years and years of record-collecting experience.

And now I know the story of the pussy-footin' preacher. (Actually, "pussy-footin." No apostrophe in the title!) And you're about to hear the story, too. It's followed by a Homer-Rodeheaver-style recitation called Eagle Free. Take it away, "Bilray":

Pussy-Footin Preacher (Harvey)--Bill and Ray.

Eagle Free (poem)--Bill and Ray .

That is uncannily Rodeheaveresque. And I've always wanted to type "uncannily Rodheaveresque."

See ya next Sunday for more gospel sounds!
