Biography
Ascending from the always frantic and joyous spirit throngs of late 1930's Gospel, Elder Curry and his stompin', shakin and screamin gospel accompaniment can be found on various compilations, including the Casequarter records release, "I got Two Wings- Elder Utah Smith and Cogic Freinds" as well as the death ballads from the triple disc compilation "People Take Warning." Elder Curry offers up a darkened strickly babptist form of pre war blues that is often accompanied by restless clapping, few instruments and several back up women and their stomping percussion. His recordings illuminate a narrow passageway through a shortlived time of pre Rock N Roll raw screaming gospel that initially sounds more ethnographically inclined than musically fun, however his obsurant strut of feverish bible yelling is not to be missed.
