Waxing the Gospel: Mass Evangelism & the Phonograph: 1890-1900

Richard Martin

"Led by internationally-famous evangelists Dwight Moody and Ira Sankey, the revival business of the late 19th century was an established juggernant, complete with its own musical soundtrack. It met up with an infant recording industry in the 1890s still experienceing growing pains. Waxing the Gospel is a groundbreaking exploration of how tradition and technology merged in three distinct areas of recording: commercial, celebrity, and vernacular."--Cover.
