Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the guitar-slinging gospel pioneer who lit the fuse for rock and roll, looks back with grace on Precious Memories, a 1968 album of hymns and spirituals from the last chapter of her career.
Tharpe had spent the 1940s scandalising church elders and thrilling nightclub crowds alike, playing electric guitar with a fire that would inspire Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Elvis Presley. By the late 1960s the spotlight had moved on, but her faith, her voice and her phenomenal playing remained intact.
This album trades the jump-blues energy of her early hits for something more reflective. The title song Precious Memories is sung with warm, unhurried conviction, as if she is leafing through a lifetime of revival meetings and road miles.
Peace In The Valley and Precious Lord bring out the deep, comforting richness of her voice, while This Train, a song long associated with her, rolls along with the rhythmic drive that made her performances so electrifying. Throughout, her guitar adds bright, ringing commentary between verses.
Tharpe's influence has finally been recognised in recent decades, and records like this show the soul behind the showmanship. Precious Memories is a moving late portrait of an artist who changed popular music.
