“On the Battlefield”
Bishop Larry D. Trotter and the Sweet Holy Spirit Church

On his forthcoming CD, Chicago’s Bishop Larry D. Trotter asks, “How far back can you go?”

Knowing his penchant for traditional gospel, I suspect Bishop can pretty much top whatever answer you give.

Indeed, Sweet Holy Spirit Church’s forthcoming release is reminiscent of Bishop G.E. Patterson’s Singing the Old Time Way: it’s like the soundtrack to an old-fashioned revival meeting, one joyous gospel song after another.

With appropriate gusto, “Uncle” Ron Barrett renders the congregational classic “On the Battlefield” in his distinctive tenor, while Bishop Trotter joins in at the conclusion. Recordings like this remind you just how much fun church can be.

The project is scheduled for release sometime near the end of October 2010.
