Good God Born Again Funk

I was browsing through Colette's page, searching for the next hippest stuff in the market today. Very rarely do i enjoy the music being played/featured on their website but this time i was enjoying the classic-blues-funk music so much that i clicked its featured artist. The band was "Gospel Comforters" and the title of the song was "Yes, God Is Real". I searched for the album, and behold, i saw a compilation album of "Born Again Funk."


The Numero Group’s 2006 release Good God! A Gospel Funk Hymnal examined what seemed to be a conundrum: gospel singers performing pious gospel songs, and devoutly, but doing so amid hot, sweaty, earthy sounds drunk on the same moonshine downed by any blues singer thumbing his way up north from the Mississippi delta. If the central premise was to grapple with a “funky” trend in gospel, forgive us for staring perhaps a bit too intently at the collision of sacred and profane we thought we saw on those LPs and 45s. This music was always sacred, and decidedly so.
Four years later, Numero returns with not quite a New Testament, rather a re-examination of a weighty tome. Born Again Funk lends new ears to a joyful strain of American composers and performers unafraid of expressing their devotion with both inspiration and invention. They were faithful to a spirit, not to an ordained sound.

I really like the name "Gospel Comforters." Gospel comfort to Blues Music. Coolness!
