“This May Be My Last Time Singing” is a rousing collection of African-American gospel from the latter half of the last century. Interestingly, the tracks were compiled from 45s, many of which were pressed in very small runs for the congregations where the music was recorded. The curator, Mike McGonigal — of whose musical/editorial vision you might be familiar with from the excellent Yeti Publications and several Mississippi Records compilations — says that “he chose to source this compilation entirely from 45s because of their democratic/DIY nature; almost anyone could raise enough money to release a seven-inch single.” The Tompkins Square Label released it as a three CD set, but oh how I wish it was also available as a box set of 45s.
