I am truly taken by the book. It is good, informative, comprehensive, and free of the usual assortment of cliches, academic hems and haws, and over-spiritualization. It takes the often over-simplified view of music and revivalism and exposes it to a fascinating cross-weave of thought, content, and context which, to my embarrassment, I thought I had already had a handle on. I recommend it without reservation. There is no doubt in my mind that general readers and specialists alike will benefit from reading this book. --Harold Best, emeritus professor of music and dean emeritus of the Wheaton College Conservatory of Music Kevin Mungons and Douglas Yeo's biography of Homer Rodeheaver brightens an important corner of gospel music history that has gone unexplored for far too long. What they reveal in their remarkable portrait of 'Reverend Trombone' is a man both of his time and ahead of his time. It's more than a tale of the emergence of gospel singing and revivalism, it's a quintessentially American story about a quintessential American. --Robert Marovich, author of A City Called Heaven: Chicago and the Birth of Gospel Music
