I love the archaic quality of the gospel album liner notes themselves. For one thing, "chill bumps appear and I am frozen in the web they weave" is such a mixed metaphor it's almost poetic somehow. Also, while anyone whose browsed the records at a thrift store knows that most albums of the 50's had puffed-up blurbs like this on the back cover, I think this is the only time I've heard of one going as far as to start telling you, in the second person even, how you are going to feel about the music.
