“Jesus is Lord” – Calvin Bridges
“Jesus is Lord” Calvin Bridges PNEUMA/Spirit Recordings, Inc. (2022) www.calvinbridges.org By Robert M.

The muscular-voiced Bridges engages in bracing call-and-response with the choristers who support him with full-throated energy. I can hear the song's Hallelujahs lighting up radio post-Easter. “Jesus is Lord” was recorded live at Chicago’s historic Greater Harvest Baptist Church for Bridges’ 2019 solo project, Gospel Church Generations.
