said: Any feelings on Washington Phillips?
said: well, i should say that i've never really listened to gospel music, so i don't have much of a way to contextualize his stuff. combine my ignorance with me being a very white person listening to very old black music, and an ex-christian listening to very christian music, and that makes his recordings... not the easiest thing for me to listen to, for various (largely voyeuristic?) cultural reasons.
that said, those songs are really beautiful, and something i've been listening to a whole lot over the past few weeks. i think some of my fascination can be chalked up to the fact that he sounds so different than what i usually listen to, but that's certainly not the whole draw. being a dangerous/amazing listen when i'm feeling emotionally vulnerable might be a lot of it too.
so to answer your question: no, nothing coherent.
