THE KEY TO THE KINGDOM contains the 16 surviving recordings by the mysterious gospel singer Washington Phillips, originally released by Columbia Records between 1927 and 1929, as well as four tracks from the even more obscure gospel duo of Blind Mamie and A.C. Forehand that were originally released on the compilation STOREFRONT AND STREETCORNER GOSPEL 1927-1929. This Yazoo release features far superior remastered sound and crucial new liner notes that cast new light on Phillips's life and work. Most interestingly, the notes deduce that rather than playing the obscure dolceola, he is in fact playing two modified zithers simultaneously.
