Rev. Johnny L. Jones - The Hurricane That Hit Atlanta [2CD Set] (2010)

Dust-to-Digital presents a 2CD collection of archival recordings from Rev. Johnny L. Hurricane Jones, culled from more than 1,000 tapes going back to 1957. Every track on this set is available to the public for the very first time. The reels of tape, which date back to Johnny's first days in Atlanta, provide documentation of a church across seven decades. The quality is raw and often distorted, yet the sounds are nothing short of heavenly.

Rural Georgia preacher Jones has been swaying congregations since the late 50s with distorted guitars, walking bass, clapping choirs, pew stomping, & beleaguered microphones over-driven with the fury of his faith. Excerpts from his radio show which include ads for funeral homes, calls with parishioners, rave-up songs full of feedback, sermons- the full experience, including some electrifying performances by ladies in the congregation. --Weirdo Records
