South Carolina-based Roy & Revelation keeps the soul-stirring gospel quartet sound relevant with “I Still Got Joy.”
Complete with call-and-response and vamp, the song swaggers in the knowledge that joy cometh despite today’s troubles. Not only is forsaking the devil’s deceitfulness to follow the Lord the way to “make it in,” but it’s also the way to get a healing touch on this side of the Jordan River. If you have joy, you have plenty.
A decade into their recording career, Roy & Revelation are nothing if not consistent in their pursuit of handclapping, foot-patting gospel quartet music. The goods are here.
