Celebration means black music (at least to me), so this is basically a wonderful excuse to put together some rhythm and blues, gospel, country blues, jazz, and hip-hop, not to mention as many versions of my favorite spiritual I could think of and three vocal performances by the one and only Mavis Staples.
01. Stevie Wonder – “Signed Sealed Delivered (I’m Yours)” (Signed Sealed Delivered)
02. Mississippi Fred McDowell – “Glory Hallelujah” (Live At The Mayfair Hotel)
03. The Neville Brothers – “Big Chief” (Lightnin’ In A Bottle: A One Night History Of The Blues)
04. T-Model Ford – “Let The Church Roll On” (Bad Man)
05. Charles Mingus – “Better Get Hit In Yo’ Soul” (Mingus Ah Um)
06. The Pogues – “Sunny Side Of The Street” (Hell’s Ditch)
07. Digable Planets – “Where I’m From” (Reachin’: A New Refutation Of Time And Space)
08. Dr John (with Mavis Staples) – “Lay My Burden Down” (N’awlinz: Dis Dat Or D’udda)
09. Bruce Springsteen – “Night” (Born To Run)
10. Jurassic 5 – “Action Satisfaction” (Jurassic 5 LP)
11. Otha Turner & The Rising Star Fife And Drum Band – “Glory Glory Hallelujah” (Everybody Hollerin’ Goat)
12. Joseph Spence – “Glory Glory Hallelujah” (The Complete Folkways Recordings)
13. The Staples Singers – “I’ll Take You There” (Be Altitude: Respect Yourself)
