Jesus Hits Like the Atom Bomb: Gospel Quartet Singing in Jefferson County, Alabama

Death Is Not The End continues its unmatched work as a steward of overlooked musical histories with this intimate document of the Sterling Jubilee Singers, a southwest Alabama gospel acapella quartet whose voices carry nearly a century of Black sacred harmony shaped in steel mills, union halls, and church rehearsals. Captured during a 1994 rehearsal complete with passing trains, prayer, laughter, and breathtaking four-part devotion, the tape preserves a living tradition earned through decades of fellowship, discipline, and faith.
