PREACH IT!!! The Jones Family Singers: The Spirit Speaks

Bishop Jones has been overseeing the congregation at Mount Zion church in Markham, Texas for over 30 years, and this album of spirituals will make you feel like you’re in the front row. And this music isn’t any of that slick modern R&B that could be delivered by someone on American Idol. We’re talking the sound, feel, grit and spirit of Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Wynona Carr and Dorothy Love Coates. “The band gets you on your feet before the plate is passed on ”Down on Me” while the delivery from Velma Davis, Alexis Jones, Theresa Jones and Ernestine Ray is nothing less than inspired. This family sings it like they mean it, going through chapter and verse in Ezekial on ”Bones In The Valley” as well as delivering the end of the service altar call on “Try Jesus.” If this doesn’t move you, you ain’t gonna MOVE!
