Naomi Shelton & The Gospel Queens
From the first strains on the Hammond organ you know that Naomi Shelton's debut full-length is a trip down memory lane. The funny thing, though not so much of a surprise (this is a Daptone release), is that this isn't a reissue. Shelton has been performing in various ways for over 50 years in both the gospel and secular genres, but she's finally found a home with Daptone, and along with her backing band, The Gospel Queens, she's made up for years of obscurity with a soul-heavy gospel testimony that places her at the top of the retro-soul game with the like of Nicole Willis and Sharon Jones.
