Sacred Steel
Author: Robert Stone
Publisher: University of Illinois Press
ISBN: 0252090306
Category : Music
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
In this book, Robert L. Stone follows the sound of steel guitar into the music-driven Pentecostal worship of two related churches: the House of God and the Church of the Living God. A rare outsider who has gained the trust of members and musicians inside the church, Stone uses nearly two decades of research, interviews, and fieldwork to tell the story of a vibrant musical tradition that straddles sacred and secular contexts. Most often identified with country and western bands, steel guitar is almost unheard of in African American churches--except for the House of God and the Church of the Living God, where it has been part of worship since the 1930s. Sacred Steel traces the tradition through four generations of musicians and in some two hundred churches extending across the country from Florida to California, Michigan to Alabama. Presenting detailed portraits of musical pioneers such as brothers Troman and Willie Eason and contemporary masters such as Chuck Campbell, Glenn Lee, and Robert Randolph, Stone expertly outlines the fundamental tensions between sacred steel musicians and church hierarchy. In this thorough analysis of the tradition, Stone explores the function of the music in church meetings and its effect on the congregations. He also examines recent developments such as the growing number of female performers, the commercial appeal of the music, and younger musicians' controversial move of the music from the church to secular contexts.

Book Description
What if Prince Phillip failed to break Aurora's curse and Hades whisked her away to his kingdom? A princess with a secret and a cursed kingdom to save. A mysterious illness has decimated the kingdom of Stonewall, snatching the king and queen's lives. The barren Stone Keep is left in Princess Aurora's hands, sustained only by the Steelborn's coffers. But Aurora wants more than her kingdom's survival. And to lift the curse that burdens her kingdom, she must dive into the Netherworld and beg for the Dark Prince's help. The catch is, none who's traveled to the Realm of Death has ever made it back. Can she outwit the Dark Prince, and escape his island? And given the chance, will she want to? A broken prince striving to risk it all in the name of true love. When Aurora broke Prince Phillip's heart, he vowed never to set foot in the Stone Keep. But when a coup rises against the crown of Whitehaven, the threat of war reopens his old wounds. Phillip must warn the kingdom of Stonewall. Chaos ensues upon his arrival as Princess Aurora is dragged to the Netherworld, kidnapped by a dark god. To rescue the princess, Phillip will need his captain's help, as they plunge into a journey riddled with dangers—the worst of which is facing the Lord of the Netherworld himself. Will Phillip's valiant heart conquer Aurora's and defeat the god of death? Steel and Stone is the second book in the Cursed Kingdom series, packed with old gods, valiant heroes, and morally grey heroines. If you like Enemies to Lovers, Hades and Persephone's mythos, and twisted fairytales, you'll LOVE Steel and Stone! ** This is a dark and steamy Sleeping Beauty retelling featuring morally grey heroes. This is an enemies-to-lovers and fated-mates story suitable for 18+. Steel and Stone is the second book in the Cursed Kingdoms series and the story will continue through future books. **
