“In Spite of My Sins”
Gospel Daytonaires
On the Gospel Now Volume 2 Compilation
http://www.gospelnow.net/
The Gospel Daytonaires were formed in Orlando, Florida in early 1988 but on “In Spite of My Sins,” they deliver a sound that predates their founding.
The drive-tempo track feels culled from a 1970s 45 rpm: the hard-singing lead singer launches his emotive calls while the mixed quartet harmonizes with steady repetition. The musicians, especially the guitarist and piano player, lay down a quintessentially southern soul gospel foundation.
It is the kind of song that could go on for 10 to 20 minutes. When the spirit is high, maybe it does.
