CD ReviewsIt doesn't get rawer than this Andre M. | Mt. Pleasant, SC United States | 12/21/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "This is a rare Cd of recordings among the Gullah culture of Johns Island, South Carolina in 1966-67. Being that the Gullah speakers were (and to a degree, still are) among the most unassimilated Black cultures of America, this gives you a chace to hear what is usually only described in books on the subject. This is thus as raw a recording on Black American culture as you can get. Janie Hunter's stories represent something of a lost art, and the Moving Hall Gospel Singers gives you actual "Praise House" singing stripped of all the sophistication you often hear in gospel you hear today. Civil Rights and South carolina historians will also be pleased to hear the voice of legendary civil rights leader Esau Jenkins (1910-1972) who did much to improve the life of his community and Martin Luther King's man in Charleston. Overall, a great documenary CD."
