Tyscot Records is celebrating Black History Month with February 19th releases of two seasoned songs that have gotten faithful contemporary updates by some legendary recording artists.
The gospel world is still mourning the sudden death of Rance Allen this past October. The charismatic artist thrilled audiences for over 50 years with dynamic performances of songs such as “Miracle Worker” and “Something About the Name Jesus.’ Just weeks before his passing, he was in a Toledo, OH studio recording his portion of Bishop Leonard Scott’s remake of the spiritual, “Throw Me Overboard.”
This up-tempo rendition of the tune features Scott’s smooth tenor alongside Allen’s raspy baritone. In this Rootsy take, the guitar is the prominent instrument in the rhythm section with some feisty percussion and swelled organ fills. It’s a foretaste of sounds to come as the first offering from Scott’s forthcoming, all-star hymns album which is due later this year.
