It preceded Black Christ... by 20 years or more but was released in the mid-70s on Folkways. A more straight ahead sound but quite spooky.

I was listening to it at the weekend and for all the celebratory songs (My Blue Heaven, Praise the Lord) there is an obvious melancholy or darkness to the music, which now makes a lot more sense from what you've said. On a purely musical level, the harmonies in the opening track get me every time, as does the version of "It Ain't Necessarily So". Great post.
