The Sterling Jubilee Singers - Jesus Hits Like the Atom Bomb: Gospel Quartet Singing in Jefferson County, Alabama [Cassette]

- Available on cassette - Documents the Sterling's rehearsal at Straight Place in Bessemer in 1994 - Music from the heartland of black American a cappella gospel quartet singing This recording, originally produced by the Alabama Folklife Association, documents the Sterling's rehearsal at Straight Place in Bessemer on Wednesday, April 20, 1994. It includes all the elements of a traditional Sterling Jubilee rehearsal - even the sound of trains passing by the hall intermittently - and differs from an actual meeting only in the omission of the business meeting and in the nature of the opening song. Wanting their first number to have impact, they selected "Atom Bomb" rather than one of the more worshipful numbers with which they normally begin.
