“Try Jesus”
Tallie
From the CD I’m Healed (2011)
Tallie Rogers, the sister of Pastor Tim Rogers of the quartet Tim Rogers and the Fellas, evokes the rollicking style of Evelyn Turrentine Agee and Dottie Peoples on her new single, a traditional, sanctified performance called “Try Jesus.”
To a steady, handclapping rhythm, Tallie beseeches listeners in trouble to “try Jesus…he’ll never leave you alone.” The vamp, which Tallie weaves like a fiery evangelist (is there any other kind?), and her background vocalists intone like a quartet, is guaranteed to get congregants moving up and out of their seats.
