Up Above My Head - Sister Rosetta Tharpe

YouTube

If you're not familiar with Sister Rosetta, watch that video. Especially after the middle when she really cuts loose with that guitar. You'll realize where Chuck Berry got some of his ideas, and that Chuck could have sold his soul to the Devil and still not been able to match licks with Sister Rosetta.

Sister Rosetta's work has long been undeservedly overlooked and ignored. She is one of the finest guitar players and gospel singers of all time - she also did some secular stuff as well. But she was a black female in the 40s, 50s, and 60s playing what was almost exclusively a "male" instrument (female guitar players were expected to strum). So she got overlooked while record companies promoted and hustled her male inferiors.

Recently Maria Muldaur, who is a big Tharpe fan, pulled together a cast of other female singers to do a tribute album to Tharpe. Titled Shout, Sister, Shout, the performers include (among others) Muldaur, Bonnie Raitt, Janis Ian, Joan Osborne, Phoebe Snow, Odetta, and Michelle Shocked. Great stuff.

Thanks for the opportunity to link up with this one. This is obviously one of my faves.

An easy way to check is to just plug a song title into the "Search This Thread" link at the top of the page.

I know how to search..... just never thought about searching for previously used songs since it wasn't in the guidelines when the thread was set up. But I can play that way.

Didn't ignore it; just didn't see it. It took me awhile to compose my post, and by the time I had posted it, susieq had posted ahead of me. Que sera, sera.

Yep.... that happens. It was quite a long, but interesting, post.
