This CD is a compilation of electrifying performances from the Sacred Steel tradition of the African-American Holiness-Pentecostal churches. In the House of God churches, members of the congregation began playing sacred music on the electric steel guitar in the late 1930s. Today, the tradition flourishes, and this CD features many of it's premier figures including Robert Randolph, Chuck and Darick Campbell, Willie Eason, Sonny Tread way, Aubrey Ghent, Calvin Cooke, the Lee Boys, Glenn Lee, Elton Noble, Ted Beard, Josh Taylor, Footie Covington, and Henry Nelson.
