A street preacher and visionary artist who worked the corners of the French Quarter, Morgan made this recording with the same fervent conviction that filled her canvases with apoca lyptic scripture and bridal white. Her voice carries the raw, unmediated power of someone singing not for an audience but for God, placing her alongside other self-taught sacred outsiders like Reverend Gary Davis in the American vernacular tradition. Sister Gertrude Morgan (1900-1980) was a painter, singer, and self-proclaimed "bride of Christ" whose visually explosive folk art is celebrated on the museum circuit world-wide. But her one album, made in New Orleans in the 1960s, is one of black gospel music's secret relics. Those recordings were unearthed and a limited number of copies were released to unanimous and widespread critical acclaim in 2003. Tracklist 1. Let Us Make A Record 2. Way In The Middle Of The Air 3.
