“Sanctified Mabel”Rickie Byars Beckwith
From the CD Let My Soul Surrender: Grace Notes of a Journey
What most intrigues me about Rickie Byars Beckwith’s “Sanctified Mabel” is its Memphis
A tribute you could easily hear Mavis Staples singing in the 1970s. Rootsy as a rattlesnake moan.
Rickie Byars Beckwith is Music and Arts Director of the Agape International Spiritual Center in Culver City, California where she directs the world famous 200-voice Agape International Choir and House Band. Rickie and her husband, Michael Bernard Beckwith, founder of Agape, form a prodigious and powerful partnership that has produced a dynamic catalogue of original songs that evoke and support transformational healing through the power of music. “Sanctified Mabel” comes from Beckwith’s combination book and CD Let My Soul Surrender: Grace Notes of a Journey.
