Brothers & Sisters
Dylan's Gospel
Of all the great back catalogs in the history of rock, Bob Dylan's is among the most covered, his acolytes ranging from
The Byrds to Adele via Manfred Mann and Guns N' Roses. But something tells us you haven't heard anything quite like
Dylan's Gospel by The Brothers and Sisters, a choir of Los Angeles session singers brought gloriously to the fore for a
very special, one-off record.
Originally released in 1969 on Ode Records, this rare and sought-after album finds the California collective covering a
clutch of Dylan classics in the era's revolutionary gospel style. Produced by Lou Adler, soon to work his magic on
Carole King's mega-successful Tapestry, and arranged by Gene Page, noted for his work for Motown, the performers were
largely unknown, but many went on to find great acclaim. Merry Clayton, the powerhouse singer best known for sparring
with Mick Jagger on Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter" (and star of the recent documentary 20 Feet from Stardom), appears
here, as does Edna Wright of The Honeycones and Gloria Jones who recorded the original version of "Tainted Love" in
1965.
