Anthony Hamilton has never hid his gospel upbringing. It's a living, breathing texture to virtually every one of the North Carolinian soul giant's releases. He's even managed to transform some modern day hits into full-on Sunday service. A recent appearance on NPR Music's Noteworthy, found Hamilton expounding upon the early spirituals and singers that shaped his career and became a constant source of inspiration throughout it, all from the very church he attended as a child. You can watch it below, just be sure you take advantage of his forthcoming touring schedule to catch that spirit live and direct. Anthony Hamilton's new album What I'm Feelin' is out now and available to purchase via iTunes.
