Pioneering quartet legends The Mighty Clouds of Joy have much to rejoice about these days. On one hand, they are readying themselves for the celebration of a lifetime: an unforgettable 50 years in gospel music and ministry. On the other, it’s the 2010 release of At the Revival, their third EMI Gospel effort and the perfect capstone for their first five decades as one of music’s most enduring acts.

The album’s title evokes images of weeks-long tent meetings and spiritual fervor across the land, but don’t expect At the Revival to be a down-home, take-me-to-church kind of record.
