REV. CHARLIE JACKSON - YOU GOT TO MOVE: LIVE RECORDINGS, VOL. 1 LP available at http://www.50milesofelbowroom.com/
Rev. Charlie Jackson was a distinctly powerful guitar evangelist who devoted his life to singing and preaching the gospel, particularly throughout Louisiana and Mississippi. His 45s for the Booker and Jackson labels, with songs such as "God's Got It" and "Wrapped Up Tangled Up in Jesus," are considered by many to be a pinnacle of raw, impassioned, bluesy gospel music.
"You Got to Move: Live Recordings, Vol. 1" compiles selections from church services that he documented with a portable recorder from the early 1970s through the early 2000s. Listening to these performances, one can hear why Rev. Jackson was so in-demand: no matter the situation or the size of the congregation, he sounds fully engaged, with a sense of sacred duty.
Future volumes in this series will include examples of Rev. Jackson as an accompanist, often in seemingly spontaneous collaborations. Any information regarding singers and musicians who performed with Rev. Jackson is eagerly welcomed by 50 Miles of Elbow Room.
