We can add this title to the discography; Bro. Gilbert & the Mighty Christian Soldiers 'In times like these' (Goodie Train)

So we're stoked to announce the ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY show coming up on Thursday 28th June @ 2pm US PST, 10pm UK GMT on dublab.com https://dublab.com/ And it's gonna be a double celebration is we'll be announcing the release of a new compilation I've been working on....'Holy Spirit: Spiritual Soul & Gospel Funk from Shreveport's Jewel Records'. The broadcast will feature a clutch of tracks that appear on the 41 strong double CD, so it'll be a nice little snapshot of what to expect on the comp; https://www.amazon.co...ref=pd_sxp_f_pt It's a safe bet that we'll surround the Jewel feature with a healthy slathering of low slung gospel funk you might not have heard before. As usual, here's the mixcloud link to the last show; https://www.mixcloud....pel-show-pt-12/ Hopefully you can tune in live, but if not, then the mixcloud link will follow the broadcast a coupla days later.

Thanks alot for the comments, Ian.....cheers for checking out the show! Looks like I'm going to have an extended stay in the UK (til the end of August), so I'm hatching a plan with Dave to present the next 3 shows live from the UK. The June show will overlap with the release of the comp so we're going to use it as a promotional vehicle, all being well. So the date shift works kinda nicely ;) Excellent news on the mastering.....can't wait to see and hear the finished product! Cheers.......G

Here's the 12th installment of The Divine Chord Gospel Show which appears monthly on dublab.com https://www.mixcloud.com/gregbelson/divine-chord-gospel-show-pt-12/ We start with a hyper rarity out of Bakersfield CA...a 45 causing a lot of buzz around Europe and so far there have been less than 10 copies discovered...presenting Willie Dale! Plus we air out a metal acetate courtesy of the High Steppen Crossroads Singers - a heavy funk groove that needs way more exposure. In the 2nd section, we venture to sweet soul territory by way of San Jose & Sisters Lydia & Merna. Plus a relatively new discovery by the Fantastic Goldenaires gets a timely spin....and we head to the mid west for the Swan Mellarks & the Jean Johnson Singers To close, it all goes a little more modern with killer dancefloor tunes from Jo Armstead, Dorothy Norwood & a sublime rarity from the Johnson Gospel Singers! Feel free to join the facebook group 'The Divine Chord Gospel Show' for updates. Thanks for listening.
