Reverend Charlie Jackson - Gods Got It: The Legendary Booker and Jackson Singles (Remastered, Expanded) '2018

Tracks list

Re-mastered 2018 edition of this highly acclaimed collection features new,
exceptionally high-resolution vinyl transfers and includes an additional
since-revealed Booker single (both sides!).

Ever since Reverend Charlie Jacksons Booker singles were discovered by gospel
collectors in the early 1970s and began to trickle out to a wider audience,
Charlie Jacksons primal, funky guitar riffs have astounded listeners. Raw and
unadorned and at other times spare and lyrical, his Booker and Jackson label
recordings are infused with sanctified energy and singing. Further to his own
singles here are records by Brother Ike Gordon, Caravan No. 2 of Zachary, and
Laura Davis, which feature Reverend Jackson as accompanist. Until this albums
initial 2003 release, these records had never been collected together and had
never been issued on CD. Following its original highly acclaimed issue, Rev.
Jacksons songs were covered by The Black Crowes, Old Crow Medicine Show and Hank
Williams Jr. 

This updated 20-song set also includes a 16-page booklet with rare photos, full
discography, and extensive liner notes covering Reverend Jacksons life and
career.

Press quotes on original issue of this set:

Once in a great while a record comes along that is so cripplingly amazing that
it betrays all common manner of description. - OffBeat (New Orleans music
monthly)

In the 1970s, this Mississippi-born man of God made a series of holy-blues
singles for the tiny Booker and Jackson labels. This set has em all: heated
sermons of need, devotion and joy, blessed by Jacksons thunder-and-Lightnin
Hopkins voice and crusty-tremelo, railroad-boogie riffing. The reverend rocks
it. - Rolling Stone

Essential. These recordings are among the most exciting and intense gospel
recordings you are ever likely to hear. - Roots & Rhythm
