From the Malaco CD …Then Sings My Soul (2011)

You have to love the gritty authenticity of Mosie “Mama” Burks (pictured left) as she leads the Mississippi Mass Choir on “I Love to Praise Him,” a neo-traditional congregational sing and clap along.
Burks channels the Mother of Gospel Music, Sallie Martin, in her strident, no-holds-barred delivery, while the choir channels their gospel chorus predecessors in its supercharged response.
