Over the coming months, NCTA Radio will be streaming a series of thematic programs that feature music from the NCTA Collection. “Gospel Ship” is the first of these programs, which were produced over a 10-year period by Mark Yacovone for WDUQ-FM, and narrated by Joe Wilson. The sounds of African American, Cherokee, Sacred Harp and Appalachian gospel from deep tradition – all recorded live at various National Folk Festivals – are featured. Thanks to the National Endowment for the Arts for supporting production of the series, and to WESA-FM for permission to stream.
