'Goodbye, Babylon' gathers exceptionally rare, pre-war gospel, blues, and sacred harp recordings, providing an unparalleled historical survey of early 20th-century Southern spiritual music. The anthology heavily revitalized interest in deeply traditional acoustic folklore and sacred singing traditions.
