Sister Gertrude Morgan was a New Orleans artist whose spirituality inspired a body of work almost mythic in its proportions. In 1969, Preservation Hall recorded Sister Gertrude singing fourteen gospel songs in the Prayer Room of her Ninth Ward home, accompanied only by her stomping foot and tambourine.
That album, Let's Make a Record, fell into obscurity until 2004, when Philadelphia DJ King Britt reissued it with new beats and instrumentation and created another world.
Now, for the first time on vinyl, the historic 1969 Preservation Hall recording is paired with its 2004 reimagining, King Britt Presents Sister Gertrude Morgan, on a double LP featuring both original album covers and art from Sister Gertrude herself.
