AllMusic[2]

Thomas Ward of AllMusic stated, "The finest collection of Jimmy Witherspoon's gospel songs, Feelin' the Spirit is an essential addition to any Witherspoon collection. ... Witherspoon's voice and style are so distinctive that they make these songs seem new ... Never strictly a gospel artist, all of these recordings show sincerity and, more importantly, depth, both musically and spiritually".[2]

Personnel
gollark: It's not exactly Java's fault Minecraft is slow.
gollark: C++ or something with Lua modding.
gollark: I mean, it's a lot better technically (unlimited or at least much better world height, not Java, moddable), but the content is lacking.
gollark: I've also been looking into Minetest, a FOSS moddable Minecraft alternative, but honestly compared to MC itself it just seems bad.
gollark: Maybe in the late endgame we can do that with the stupidly OP combat stuff there is.
