In this episode of Black Spirituals, Field Hollers & Slave Seculars, brought to you by the Jack Dappa Blues Heritage Preservation Foundation, I speak with Gospel legend Elizabeth King. Mrs. King walks us through her life long journey of Church, Gospel and the music business which has culminated in her making a full album debut at the age of 78 years old on Bruce Watson’s Bible & Tire and it’s a remarkable album with spotlights committed from MOJO, Southern Living, and Mother Jones.
NPR Music loves her “powerful vocals” and VICE Magazine said, “Her words have a clear message, but her deep feeling–her devotion–could move anyone… the message and urgency of the material transformed this prim, churchgoing grandmother into a bright, supernatural vision.
