****RINGER OF THE WEEK****Radha Botofasina: Carry On-The Spirtuals, Volume 2

Here’s an album that gets you back to the roots of all music-worshipping God. But this ain’t no Presbyterian Trinity Hymnal, Oh No! Vocalist Radha Botofasina, playing harp and supported by musicians ranging from Cecil McBee Jr/b, John Lehman/p, Munyungo Jackson/perc, a string section, various gospel choirs and sax sections, takes you on a spiritual treck of hand clapping Sunday morning pieces like “I Know The Lord Laid His Hands On Me” to a Caribbean “Mary Don’t You Weep”. She testifies on “My Soul Gonna Shine” and is as riveting as Sister Rosetta Tharpe with Lehman’s striding fingers on “Woman At The Well”. A dramatic “Mind On Jesus/God Is God” puts life into focus, while she preaches from the street on “Move On Up A Little Higher” and gets the church stomping on “Carry On”. Play this every Sunday, and you’re on your way!
