    Valoración: VERY GOOD

With the passing of Marie Knight in year 2009, we lost one of the last greatest voices of the gospel tradition Fortunately Mark Carpentieri of MC Records has taken back a new recording with one of her last shows she performed in a gospel festival in Massachusetts Despite she was eighty-seven years old and her voice was not so cool as the one once captivated huge audiences, she still sounded with force and expressiveness enough to impress and move the whole audience After a brief introduction, Marie gives us nineteen songs, some of them coming from Reverend Gary Davis, Sister Rosetta Tharpe or Anna Warner among others Between song and song, our diva did a spoken speech, in a path of a short sermon, sometimes in s humoristic tone and other times full of a serious or even painful message Marie Knight is only backed by piano player Dave Keyes, who also sings the traditional song Closer Walk With Thee He provides energy enough to make Marie’s magic voice appear with the energy, power and conviction to captivate the audience who respectfully listen to her
