This is a very solid and decent-sounding set of recordings by the great guitarist and singer Sister Rosetta Tharpe on Indigo, compiled from her most fruitful and best-known period, 1938-1948. The 22 cuts here focus on her developments not only as a player, writer, and singer, but also as an artist who perfectly melded the blues and the new gospel sounds of Thomas A. Dorsey. Tharpe arranged her own material near the end of this period, and the considerable polish in her recordings conveys a sophistication not seen before or rarely heard since by female blues and gospel singers. Recommended. ~ Thom Jurek, Rovi
