Album US 1985 on Gospel AIR Records & Tapes label
R&B/Soul (Gospel)
The Gospel sound and the Blues sound are the two most identifiable sounds to be produced from that musical tree whose roots lie in the fertile soil of the African culture and the oppressive experience of slavery. Whereas the Blues are the mournful sound of a woman looking for her man, Gospel is the joyous sound of a people that have found their God. The same fertile ethnic soil of Mississippi that yielded great Blues men like Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker and BB King, also gave us gospel greats like Rev. CL Franklin, Rev. Gatemouth Moore and Rev. Otis Mays. Now AIR is proud to present a young lady whose voice combines the pathos of the Blues with the joy of Gospel. Leomia Boyd is nothing more or less than a stomp down gospel singer from Aberdeen, MS. Listen as she transports you on wings of sound from the Red Clay of Mississippi to the golden streets of Heaven. Get in tune to the soul and spirit of 'A Country Girl' Rev. Larry National Promotion Director Recorded at Cheshire Sound Studios, Atlanta, GA
