Gospel Boogie: Dixie Rocks!

An article from Billboard, 59 years ago....July 4th, 1953:

About This Blog

This site is an exploration of uptempo gospel music from my record collection. I will focus on the early post-war years, 1945-1965. Most of the time, the various forms of gospel music are segregated. Here at Gospel Boogie, that will not be the case. I will be posting backwoods country gospel, black gospel and white gospel quartets …..side by side, toe to toe. It is all the same as far as I am concerned. There was much cross-pollination between the styles back when these records were new. This site will aspire to live up to that standard. This is not meant to be a total exploration of all gospel music from the time. It is what I like. If I do not like the song, it will not be on the site. I welcome any comments and hope you find something new to listen to. The number of gospel records from the period feels to be endless, thank goodness for that!

So, what is My Kind Of Gospel?
