Jimmie Jules & The Gospel Renaissance - Moments of truth Lp


I had the opportunity two times ago to present Jimmie or Jimmy Jules on my blog. The first time was about five years ago when I presented the single entitled "The new year / It's impossible" in the late 2008. The second time was a year ago when I presented the self titled album by Southern Cookin'. Today I'm presenting a rare gospel album entitled "Moments of truth" which was released under the name Jimmie Jules & The Gospel Renaissance on Mission Records. It was distributed by Royal Sheild Records.


The album was recorded at River City Recorders, Baton Rouge,LA. The musicians that appeared were Willie Williams and Rodney Taylor on guitar and bass, Kenneth Brown on lead guitar, Jimmie Jules and Earnest Dent Jr. on keyboards, Jeffrey Alexander on drums, Jimmie Jules on synthesizer. Produced and arranged by himself, using his real name Charles Julien.
I have chosen three tracks entitled "Detour", "The moments of truth" and "Moments of truth". On "Detour" lead vocals by Liz Nevilles, on "The moments of truth" lead vocals by C.Barnett, and finally on "Moments of truth" lead vocals by Jimmie Jules. Backing vocals by Delpit Sisters, Shirley Dent, Sylvia Perriloux and Charles Warren.
