Equally gifted as a singer, songwriter, and keyboardist, Andrae Crouch was one of the most successful gospel artists of the 1970s, much to the consternation of genre purists at the time, who resented his appropriation of rock riffs and showmanship. In the long run, however, Crouch's inclusive approach has proven to be perhaps the single most influential force in contemporary gospel music, and nearly every gospel artist from the '80s on has owed him a substantial debt.

Although the prospect of the three revered performers all pounding on the eighty-eights at the same time holds the potential for an overwhelming (if not downright cacophonous) sound, the trio works wonderfully together, offering up fun, rollicking, blues-inflected numbers such as "Boogie Woogie Prayer," "Lady Be Good," and "The Sheik of Araby." In addition to those tunes, the two-disc collection includes classics such as Johnson's ragtime-infused "Four O' Clock Blues" and numerous versions of W.C. Handy's jaunty "St. Louis Blues." These 45 tracks provide a fascinating look at the intersection of jazz, R&B, and early rock & roll, making for a potent dose of vintage boogie woogie that is almost impossible to top.
