As a matter of complete transparency...my biggest musical want right now is a compilation of choice acapella (or damn close to it) gospel songs. I'll find one here or there every once in a while (Rubye Shelton and Vera Hall both immediately come to mind) but my desire is incredibly nuanced.

I'm not looking for GROUP vocals. Harmony, specifically, just ain't my thing. ONE voice, lone, pained, raspy, pleading, not really approaching happy or optimistic or even joyous, but just FULL of spirit, belting out. Unrehearsed, spouting from the heart, impassioned. In one word...raw.
