Deep hymnal gospel and blues!
Possessed of ragged fury, fearsome spiritual intensity and intimidating power, both the hymns and original material collected here transcend genre distinctions such as blues and gospel - for all the world it's as if Owens is channelling something otherworldly into his earthy sermonising. Fans of Junior Kimbrough and Captain Beefheart alike will find much succour in the primitive majesty of this testimony to both rawness and righteousness.
