93: Higher Infinite Power

Vocal Anointing and Coded Escape Songs

The discussion focuses on the "anointing" or "drip" in religious singing, specifically referencing Reverend Velma Thomas. Mo Facts explains how songs like "Wade in the Water" and "Steal away to Jesus" provided literal instructions for escape, such as using waterways to hide scents from dogs. These songs spoke of life in the "here and now" rather than just the hereafter.
