  • Description

    14 of the best of Sacred Steel instrumentals taken from the ground breaking Arhoolie albums that introduced the world to this unique sound and tradition. Played on both lap and pedal steel guitars, this syle has captured the hearts of not just the gospel world but the rock, jazz and blues worlds as well. In the late 1930s musicians of the House of God, Keith Dominion Holiness-Pentecostal Church began playing their worship music on electric steel guitars. Taking the words from Psalm 150:4, “praise Him with stringed instruments� and Psalm 149:3, “let them praise His name in the dance,� the guitarists developed unique styles, tunings, repertoires and techniques to bring heavily heavenly sounds to their church. Featuring: The Campbell Brothers • Aubrey Ghent • Robert Randolph • Glenn Lee • Rayfield “Ray Ray� Holloman • Lamar Nelson • Dante Harmon • Lonnie “Big Ben� Bennett • Sonny Treadway
