Artist:	JACKSON, REVEREND CHARLIE
Title:	God's Got It: The Legendary Booker and Jackson Singles
Label:	CASEQUARTER
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	CASE 101CD

"CaseQuarter is a brand new label whose purpose is to document and make available all manner of obscure, eccentric and original sacred and spiritual music of the American South -- contemporary and historical; both commercial and informal recording. This is the first release, after the better part of twenty-five years; the legendary early 1970s New Orleans Booker label recordings of the Baton Rouge gospel guitarist have finally been collected on CD. Ever since Reverend Jackson's Booker singles were discovered by gospel collectors in the 1970s and began to trickle out to a wider audience, his primal, funky guitar riffs have astounded listeners. Raw and unadorned and at other times spare and lyrical, his Booker and Jackson label recordings are infused with sanctified energy and singing. Further to his own singles are records by Brother Ike Gordon, Sister Frances Jackson, and Caravan No. 2 of Zachary, which feature Reverend Jackson as accompanist."

Artist:	OWENS, ISAIAH
Title:	You Without Sin Cast The First Stone
Label:	CASEQUARTER
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	CASE 102CD

"The CaseQuarter mission continues full-force with its second installment of the wondrous and sacred musical intensity and beauty that avails itself in the American South. This time it is a collection of contemporary recordings -- You Without Sin Cast The First Stone, the solo debut of singer/guitarist Isaiah Owens. In the early 1990s, Isaiah Owens ended a distinguished career singing lead with the gospel quartet the Flying Clouds of Montgomery, Alabama. Early in the 1980s, Owens began to teach himself guitar and soon began sitting in on local AM gospel radio broadcasts, most notably with the Montgomery Gospelaires and later with Ann Talbert's Cheerful Angels program. Always known for his dynamic vocals and piercing falsetto, Owens augmented the initial chords he taught himself with extremely loud volume. Along with emphasizing the rhythmic over the traditionally musical, Owens was not afraid to incorporate dissonance into his playing. The merging of Owens' unique guitar style with his accomplished vocals makes for an intriguing and original musical experience truly not heard anywhere else in the gospel world."

Artist:	SPIRITUALAIRES, THE
Title:	Singing Songs of Praise
Label:	CASEQUARTER
Format:	CD
Price:	$13.00
Catalog #:	CASE 103CD

"The return of the CaseQuarter label to active duty has long been promised; this year 2007 it is true to be! The Spiritualaires of Hurtsboro, Alabama are one of the very last still active gospel quartets with origins in gospel's golden age of the 1950s. Weaving together influences from the blues and country & western, The Spiritualaires over the years have remained faithful to their ever-distinct yet traditional sound. Drawn from recent studio recordings and live radio broadcasts, Singing Songs of Praise reveal The Spiritualaires as both a super-fine harmony quartet and a unique blues-guitar-driven ensemble. What a treat it is to have -- after almost six decades together -- the debut recording of The Spiritualaires of Hurtsboro, Alabama."
