Full-length all-gospel nearly-all-one-evening recording from Duluth blues shouter/singer-songsmith/resonator killer Charlie Parr and Southwest Virginia (and now, South West Virginia) old-timey thugs Black Twig Pickers plus Amy Shea. Sanctified set includes group shout-alongs, solo resonator and solo fiddle musings, and all manner of string/washboard/harmonica/tambourine/more combinations. Standout tracks...........hey, they're *all* standout tracks. Although, please note that Charlie's "Where You Gonna Be?" was also on the Great Pop Supplement's fall 2010 UK tour 7-inch. Issued by House of Mercy, the label for the Minnesota church of the same name. We thank you.
Glory in the Meeting House Reviews
- Charlie Parr and the Black Twig Pickers are stomping the bellows and the flames are tickling heaven and the rafters beyond. (Hinter Ground)
- ... as if everyone here joined up after a day's work to call it a day, sip some drink, and pick some spirituals ... (No Depression)
- It's a masterpiece in what's all good about country/gospel/blues. (You Crazy Dreamers)
- Charlie Parr is a true master of this music and I suspect that the Black Twig Pickers will turn out to be the same. (American Roots UK)
