Susan Graham Pepper - Sister Thou Wasn’t Mild and Lovely

13. Sister Thou Wasn’t Mild and Lovely: voice alone. I’ve spent time in Primitive Baptist Churches in Western North Carolina, and there is a special beauty in this ornamented, expressive singing style. This one is from the singing of Susie Goehring on her record Starch and Iron with Rayna Gellert. The source version comes from Eastern Kentucky ballad singer Addie Graham (1890-1968).
