“Jesus is My Rock” is a traditional gospel blues hand-clapper given a seven plus-minute live workout by Dallas Texas-based Gaye Arbuckle.
Accompanied by her church choir, the United Voices of Concord, the beauty pageant contestant and singer-songwriter with a distinctive shock of red hair pays tribute to her GMWA membership by leading a piece with clear ties to the churchy Chicago gospel chorus style. You’d think you were hearing Fellowship or the Warriors! Arbuckle’s relentless vocals keep the temperature high and the spirit higher.
The single comes from Arbuckle’s CD Holy, recorded live in April 2008 at the Concord Church in Dallas, where Rev. Bryan L. Carter is Pastor and Arbuckle is Minister of Music.
