I love gospel music. I don’t mean the overproduced crap they play at megachurches, I’m talking about a piano, bass, and a stomp/clap choir in a black southern community church led one or more strong, usually female, singers.

I’ve never heard this music that wasn’t about God and that kind of puts me off so I’m wondering…is there gospel MUSIC without the gospel LYRICS?

[Edit]I’m talking Blues Brother church scene music - thanks shittydwarf for the link

    Ruthie Foster has some music that might be what you’re looking for

    Otherwise, I suggest poking around Bluegrass. Supposedly bluegrass sort of split off from gospel like an evolutionary branch, so there are a lot of heavier influences in bluegrass like what you’re talking about. Though I assume that most of what you’ll find is probably going to be sort of white people quiet church music, but I know for sure there’s a fair amount of good time stomp and clap.
