Product Detail:
The Colored Sacred Harp tunebook is a collection of shape-note songs
composed and arranged by African American musicians in southeastern Alabama and
published in 1934. The driving force behind the publication of this song book
was Judge Jackson, whose son Japheth Jackson and friend Dewey Williams, sing on
this recording along with other Jackson family members and friends in their
inimitable, straight-from-the-heart style of singing. The collection includes
“Florida Storm,” a favorite of the Wiregrass Singers, written by Judge Jackson.
