(01/14/08) Hard-core gospel traditionalists will delight in this 36-track retrospective set of digitally enhanced masters originally recorded in the mid-'50s and '60s. Quite simply, this is the stuff that got her crowned "the World's Greatest Gospel Singer" -- signature hits like "I Found the Answer", "Didn't It Rain," In the Upper Room," and "His Eye Is on the Sparrow." Incorporating a variety of rhythms and styles, from innovative hymns to classic spirituals, the generous selection of tunes fills out the complete picture of her vocal skills and depth. For vintage material, the sound couldn't be better, as Jackson maneuvers the seemingly effortless riffs with spirit-filled abandon -- accompanied on many of the cuts by the renowned Mildred Falls Trio. Among the buried treasure likely to excite diehard church purists is "Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Seen," the Thomas Dorsey classic, "Precious Lord, Take My Hand," "Walk Over God's Heaven," and the jubilant and rousing "Elijah Rock" recorded live...

If you're aware of this and are simply looking for a good single-disc overview of their early years on disc, however, this fills that bill well. Their two most well-known songs from this period, "Uncloudy Day" and "This May Be the Last Time" (speculated as a possible source for the Rolling Stones' "The Last Time"), open and close the 17-track CD, respectively. Between those cuts are both Pops Staples originals and covers of traditional tunes like "Swing Down Chariot" and "Will the Circle Be Unbroken." It's been said before, but it can be said here again: these are among the most accessible gospel recordings for rock-oriented listeners, owing to Pops Staples' distinctive tremolo-heavy electric guitar, the...
