Although she never strayed too far from her gospel roots, the great Sister Rosetta Tharpe pioneered a sound that younger admirers, such as Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Elvis Presley, would mold into rock & roll. Tharpe was one of the few female electric guitarists of her day. She played the guitar not just to accompany herself but as a lead instrument, and she ornamented her songs with intricate fingerpicking and flashy R&B licks. Presented here is one of her finest LPs, cut during the zenith of her abilities: the masterpiece Gospel Train (1957).
