Nice collection of early African-American gospel song out of New Orleans, mostly in an unaccompanied jubilee style.  Pressed in 1989, this one’s long out-of-print and has always been hard for me to find.  Includes an 18-page 11”x11” booklet of notes by Lynn Abbott.  It smells a bit musty, so it's available here for cheap.
