Dylan's Gospel
Dylan's Gospel is the only studio album by The Brothers & Sisters of L.A., a group of vocalists working as session musicians in the Los Angeles, California area during the album's recording in June 1969. The Brothers & Sisters of L.A. was organized by Lou Adler specifically to record the album, which consists of gospel music-style covers of Bob Dylan songs. Members of the group included Merry Clayton and Gloria Jones.[1] The album was first released in 1969 by Adler's own Ode Records label.[2] It was initially a commercial flop, which convinced Adler not to reunite the Brothers and Sisters of L.A. for another performance.[1] It was reissued by Light in the Attic Records on April 1, 2014.[3]
