Book Reviews of The Gospel Sound: Good News and Bad Times - 25th Anniversary Edition (Hal Leonard Reference Books)
Book Review: For lovers of the real gospel sound
Summary: 5 Stars
Whether you love the music or know nothing about it, this is the best book ever written about the early road warriors who travelled the gospel highway. Mr. Heilbut infuses his deep knowledge of gospel singers with passion and love. That's what gives the book its unique flavor and ranks it far above any other work on the subject, scholastic or otherwise. A reviewer dismisses him as nothing more than a "fan", as if that's a bad thing. Let the "scholars" wallow in their dates and facts. This book is juicy and vibrant, as full of fire and life as the artists he depicts so well.
