TBGB’s Hit Pick of the Week for March 6, 2005: “I’m Not Tired Yet” – Mississippi Mass Choir
Plenty is being written in the trades on the Mississippi Mass Choir’s latest project, Not by Might Nor by Power, and every word of the praise is well deserved. Of particular note is the ensemble’s rendering of “I’m Not Tired Yet,” a rousing, energetic gospel song that is deserving of radio rotation. This is call and response, lively, pulse-pounding gospel music the way Thomas A. Dorsey intended it to be. Three cheers for Mississippi Mass!

I just heard the song this morning on THE GOSPEL EXPERIENCE that Emmit Powell hosts every Saturday morning on KPFA 94.1 FM in Berkeley, Calif., http://www.kpfa.org. I hope they have a CD out that I can get. If anyone knows where to buy it online let me know. The female volcalist on this song has an incredible voice!!
