Rare original 78rpm recordings have been digitally restored to bring you the music of 'the world's sweetest Gospel singer'. William MacEwan sang on the streets of his native city, Glasgow, in the early 20th Century. Instead of condemning and inciting members of the opposite religious persuasions with fervent rhetoric - he sang to them. The final eight tracks on this CD were the first set ever recorded by a Gospel singer, made in London, 1911.
