Maceo Woods – In Concert (1970/2020)

Originally recorded in 1969 and released the following year on the Volt label as “Hello Sunshine,” Reverend Maceo Woods’ “In Concert” highlights the talents of Woods’ Christian Tabernacle Concert Choir. Woods founded the Christian Tabernacle Baptist Church in 1960 in his native Chicago with just 14 members. It’d soon grow to 2,000 members, and Woods would gain prominence as both singer and organist.
The optimistic title track “Hello Sunshine” interpolates Wilson Pickett’s 1968 song of the same name, written by saxophonist King Curtis and Ronald Miller. The mainstream-leaning appeal of the song was in line with Woods’ philosophy for joining the Stax Records’ family: to reach ears that otherwise would not have been in tune with the catalogs of traditional gospel labels. “The Gospel Truth label is an answer to my prayers,” he stated in a press release for the label. “I feel that gospel and other religious-oriented music have a rich reservoir of talent which has been left to deteriorate or to be corralled only in the church. This talent needs exposure.”
