The Loving Sisters And Their Sons



The Loving Sisters: Joy, Cosmic Consciousness, save the world
From the album: The Sisters & Their Sons [1974, ABC Records]

Lets go to church!! While there are still a few hours left to the day of rest, heck with music this good I'd join a convent, please do not be seated for some soulful, funky gospel.

According to the liner notes on the back of this record it states The Loving Sisters were one of the nations biggest gospel groups of the time, maybe but I aint never heard of them but then again I know nothing about gospel. However I wish I did an hopefully I eventually will.

The first cut 'Joy' is a tune that will sooth and relieve burdens from the weariest of shoulders. I absolutely love the vocals on this record, these sisters and their son's sure know how to sing with soul.

The second cut is an up beat, psychedelic, religious, funker it definitely lives up to it's name 'cosmic consciousness' check the lyrics.

Finally the last cut is back to the slower tempo with a message that is still poignant to the world today me thinks, let every heart drip!
