Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"A welcome addition to gospel studies." --ARSC
"Highly recommended. " --Choice
"Marovich’s lucid account looks to a time when Black migrants from the South recreated their folkways in Northern cities—and how those urban settings changed the tone and volume of the music and culture soon enough. It’s the history of a song, the evolution of its meaning and of the gospel genre it influenced." --Shepherd Express
