Try Ben Harper and the Blind Boys of Alabama, awesome. This is one of my fav releases from last year. Good songs, great singing, well recorded and gospel influenced but simply a gem to hear....enjoy.
Music with good gospel choir
This might sound kinda weird, but most of what I say sounds weird so...
I have really gotten into choral music lately. I bought a couple of the Cantus CDs at CES, and I really like them a lot! I have also been listening to Bob Dylan's "Saved" lp for the great backup singers. U2's Rattle and Hum has a great version of "I still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" with a gospel choir. I have a few other artists an long this vein, such as Babbie Mason. I love it!
Do you know of anything else that might be along the same lines?
