Sacred Steel: Traditional Sacred African-American Steel Guitar Music in Florida

Various Artists
Sacred Steel: Traditional Sacred African-American Steel Guitar Music in Florida Originally developed for playing Hawaiian music, the steel guitar was integrated into the sacred music of two branches of the House of God, an African-American Holiness Pentecostal church in the late 1930s. This collection is drawn from sacred music recorded between 1993 and 1997 and is divided into instrumentals/concerts and live religious services. The liner notes provide a brief history of the steel guitar and its sacred music traditions.
