Album Notes
Includes liner notes by Pat Conte.
Washington Phillips is a figure of considerable mystery: gospel and blues historians can't even agree on when he died (at last, 1954 seems to be the confirmed date), nor what instrument he played: though for years he was credited with playing an obscure keyboard instrument called the dolceola, new research (including the first known photograph of the performer) suggests that he was in fact playing a type of zither, possibly homemade and possibly two of them at the same time. What is inarguable is the otherworldly beauty of Phillips's music and the simple, graceful wisdom of his lyrics, which range from the musical retelling of key Bible scenes to sharp commentary on the divisions between various black congregations. Released in 1991, I AM BORN TO PREACH THE GOSPEL: COMPLETE RECORDED WORKS 1927-1929 contains all 16 surviving recordings by Washington Phillips. (One 1929 single is now lost.) It is an essential document for all fans of gospel blues.
