Lonnie Donegan - Sing Hallelujah (Bonus Track Edition) '2000

Tracks list

Lonnie Donegan sings mostly gospel and devotional music on this, his most Elvis
Presley-like album. Recorded in early 1962, the album features Donegan in the
best vocal performance of his career, very nearly outdoing Elvisas a singer of
gospel songs. Denny Wright is back on guitar, but most of the material here is
more opulent in its arrangements, featuring piano and a backing chorus (the
Kestrels, including Roger Greenaway, sounding like the Jordanaires). Songs
include "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen," "Born in Bethlehem," "Steal Away,"
Leadbelly's "Pick a Bale of Cotton," Sister Rosetta Tharpe's "This Train," and
A.P. Carter's "Keep on the Sunny Side." "Steal Away" may be the best performance
Donegan ever committed to record, and the rest is above average. [All of the
material on Sing Hallelujah is available on the eight-CD collection More Than
"Pye in the Sky."]
