T_Bone,
"I second the Fairfield Four, but would suggest that "Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray" is more 'accessible' (Standing in the Safety Zone is classic but it sounds as if it is mostly recorded off old 45s and while it's great gospel, the recording quality of CHNP is MUCH better)."
You might want to listen (Safety Zone)again. Only the first track, intentionally, sounds like an old, scratchy record. The rest provides absolutely astounding, you are there, sonics. I also feel the song selection is stronger.
