Gospel Truth Magazine

Yesterday we took a walk in the rain down to Walgreens and I bought a copy of Gospel Truth Magazine.com, which comes with a CD of about 20 tracks of contemporary black gospel music. The cover story is "Five women who are mixing the color of gospel music," and it's interesting to read their stories. One of the women, JoAnn Rosario, is not on the compilation CD so I'll have to search for her music elsewhere, but she's of Puerto Rican descent and apparently does some gospel tunes in Spanish. She also writes. The most amazing thing about her story is that soon after her 2003 debut CD release, she completely lost her speaking and singing voice due to nodes on her vocal chords. What a trial that must have been. Apparently she's still recovering. The CD has really good stuff on it, including Shirley Caesar.
