They have four albums available on Spotify, and their 2014 release, The Spirit Speaks, is good. The first track is called Down on Me, and while I can't find a YouTube video of it to share, I like the frenetically-paced, bopping beat - it feels like an old Ray Charles or Robert Randolph song. The rest of the album is generally more chilled, but is really nice. This might be my favorite of the gospel bands for ACL Fest - maybe I can hook up a Stubb's gospel brunch with them.

The Jones Family Singers
Traditional gospel. A basic but funky rock line covered in a strong-voiced lead and some solid harmony. Some are female lead, some are male, but all of them are pretty kick ass singers.
