Tri-State Gospel Esoterica

Listening to this music won’t save my soul*

This page is dedicated to Gospel music that originated from the Tri-State area Kentucky, West Virginia, Ohio in the 60s and 70s. It’s mostly curating other people’s work, be it research, vinyl transfers and so on. Reason for that is simply, I’m not there myself and the only tool I have is the internet. But I like to connect the dots and help to document a music that is slowly fading away.

Right now, I have no concept for this page, but I posted some music on the blog, so that should do it for now. If you are interested in trading music (preferably digitally), just send me an email.

* On the back cover of the record “Far Far Away” by The Alexander Family and the Happyland Trio, Dallas Alexander writes:

I sincerely hope God will bless each and everyone who listens to this record.

So maybe I’m wrong and there is a chance to get saved by just listening to this music.
