Folklorist Robert L. Stone presents a rare collection of
high-quality documentary photos of the sacred steel guitar musical
tradition and the community that supports it. The introductory text
and extended photo captions in Can't Nobody Do Me Like Jesus!
Photographs from the Sacred Steel Community offer the reader an
intimate view of this unique tradition of passionately played music
that is beloved among fans of American roots music and admired by
folklorists, ethnomusicologists, and other scholars. In 1992, a
friend in Hollywood, Florida, introduced Stone to African American
musicians who played the electric steel guitar in the African
American Holiness-Pentecostal churches House of God and Church of
the Living God. With the passion, skill, and unique voice they
brought to the instruments, these musicians profoundly impressed
Stone. He produced an album for the Florida Folklife Program, which
Arhoolie Records licensed and released worldwide. It created a
roots music sensation. In 1996, Stone began to document the
tradition beyond Florida. He took the photos in this book from 1992
to 2008 in Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Mississippi, New
York, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Florida, and at concerts in
Italy. The images capture musicians as they play for worship
services before spirit-filled believers singing, dancing, shouting,
praying, and testifying. Stone gives the viewer much to witness,
always presenting his passionate subjects with dignity. His
sensitive portrayal of this community attests to the ongoing
importance of musical traditions in African American life and
worship.
