Gospel Jacket?

[LET_THE_FETUS_ROCK]

Got my new Rolling stone today.  MMJ go gospel on new disc.  Quotes Jim as saying he has "never been rocked as hard as listening to gospel music, listening to Sam Cooke's secular music and then hearing the gospe he did before this blew his fucking mind, no guitars, no bullshit!"

Both the sound and subject matter influenced his 25 or so new songs-which the full band demoed during a monthlong stay in a seclude d studio in the colorado mountains.  "we went out there and cooked dinner for each other and got lost."
THey are still deciding which songs to include on the album next.  

How's that for some down time.  25 new songs!   A Double album of soul and gospel would spectacular?

Intriguing & exciting!  :o

Thanks Z Man!  

[red]

Very intriguing and even more exciting!    ;D

[rob]

That sounds great. I knew they were gonna somehow go really deep for the new album. Can't wait.

Very intriguing and even more exciting!

I'd sue you for plagiarism if we lived in the US!  ;)

[BH]

Nice!  I'm all tingly inside.

[TEO]

I would like to go get "lost" with the band in Colorado for awhile!  ;)

[aMD]

bump!

see it now forbethel?

[corey]

So.... I'd like some clarification before this shit gets blown out of proportion.

There's a big difference between making a gospel record and being influenced by gospel.
Forbethel's already saying in the other thread that they are making a gospel record.

Just what exactly does the article say?

[BH]

The record will be gospel, the same way Off The Record is reggae.

They are really just trying to add one more discription of their music for the next round of poorly written reviews.

After this record they will be known as a Southern Alt. Country, Phychadelic, Gospel, Indie Rock band.  That really is just all about Jesus.

gospel??...well...fuck yeah!

i hope that means plenty of gospel organ.  because that would be heavenly.  if i heard some gospel organ, i would dance like a member of a southern baptist church.

[TEO]

Looks like I am gonna' be gettin' some religion!    ;)

Check out Sam Cooke and The Soul Stirrers.   It is powerful music.  Sam Cooke's favorite gospel was "this little light of mine". I tried to find a link somewhere online to post so you all could take a listen.  However, I was unsuccessful.  I know it is on iTunes (and if you don't own it, everyone needs to have a copy of Sam Cooke Live at the Copa...is is sticky, gooey, powerful soul-moving music).   Get a snippet here http://www.cduniverse.com/search/xx/music/pid/5942955/a/Sam+Cooke+At+The+Copa.htm

I really like this...This is what I'm thinking. Jim's vocals on this new album will be his best yet. We're going to see a new level of soul and passion from him this time 'round, both in his lyrics and performance.

There could be some big sounding, slow tempo "gospel" songs, organ cranked. I really think that there could be a strong Soul/R&B feel to a lot of the tunes, maybe some horns, high-energy, make you wanna dance.

Also, it'll be interesting to hear the influence of the Rockies. I think there'll be some beautiful, lonesome sounding stuff on there, minimal instruments, maybe some pedal steel, and Jim's canyon filling vocals. It'll be interesting to hear how his lyrics reflect his time out there.

And I bet the next tour's Colorado stop(s) will be standouts.

I like the sound of that.  I think you hit it right on the head.

"a new level of soul and passion"    :o Is that possible?  I don't know if my emotions could handle it!
