Gospel Playlist 2

This playlist, like the last one, was very passionate and interesting to listen to.

I really didn't like "You'd Better Mind" by the Pace Jubilee Singers. They were passionate about what they were singing but I didn't like the main woman's voice. This song was really repetitive and not fun to listen to. I thought it was pretty dull.

In "Black Diamond Express To Hell," Rev. A. W. Nix preaches almost in the form of a poem and randomly breaks out into song. He was passionate about what he was talking about. One question that I have: Is his passion for what he is talking about real or does he just want to appeal to the people he is speaking to, to keep them listening. I want to know what he looks like when he is preaching. I bet it would be very entertaining. Throughout this sermon, the Reverend would repeat certain words or phrases such as "NEXT STATION!" This stood out very clearly and made me laugh everytime he said it. He would yell this when he came to that part of his speech.

"Your Enemy Cannot Harm You (But Watch Your Close Friend)" by Edward W. Clayborn was very bluesy, similar sounding to what we have been listening to in class. It didn't seem as much like the other gospel songs on these playlists. Throughout this song, Clayborn wasn't just singing random lyrics because they would sound good or rhyme, he was instead just speaking his mind and that made it more meaningful. I thought that his voice was decent but not amazing.

I enjoyed listening to these gospel songs. I really like the way they sound and how passionate all the performers are.
