Good God! A Gospel Funk Hymnal

Mixing primitive harmonies, spacious breaks, jungle percussion, elderly rappers impersonating the devil, cast recordings, thumping bass, and James Brown impressionists, this is old time religion slathered in funk's sinful gravy. Such a collection can only come together retroactively. "Gospel funk" lays its claim to genre only in the way that "deep soul" or "acid folk" do, as categories created by collectors and enthusiasts, ways of defining subsections within subsections.
