From her early years (6 years old) playing a too large guitar in the church of God in Christ ministry to the end where she was playing 50 dollar gigs in church halls ,fighting the effects of diabetes, th writer takes on a journey with sister all around the world. The author makes the convincing case that without Sister Rosetta Tharpe there would be no rock n roll as we know it. From Elvis to Chuck Berry to jimi,they all owe something to her for showing the world what it means to rock. Great read,great subject, worth the time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sister Tharpe should be on our coins. *by B***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 25, 2018* This is one of the most remarkable rockers of all time. Her singing rivals an angry Mahalia Jackson but even more on fire. Her finger picking electric guitar is Chet Atkins meets Muddy Waters with touches of Buckethead and Yngwie Malmsteen thrown in. And this was 1950. I think she plays in tune but I don't really care. Her notes come from God or Satan and it does not matter. Listening to her is like listening to Chuck Berry for the first time or Scriabin or Charlie Parker or the Ramones. The music is in your face and keeps at you, maintaining its strict idiom but assaulting you to a higher artistically agitated, purpose. It's beyond addicting. It is pure art. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Not What I Hoped For *by S***O on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 11, 2016* I came up across a YouTube video last year of Sister Rosetta Tharpe. I was instantly obsessed. I grew up listening to Rock 'n' Roll, rockabilly, I'm half black, I'm Pentecostal, I'm a woman, and I'm learning to play guitar. Finding out about Sister Rosetta Tharpe was one of the best moments of my life! I've finally found a hero. I could relate to her in so many ways. I wanted to hear all of her music and I wanted to know everything I could know about about her. Discovering this biography was so exciting! Yes! I can read about my hero! While I appreciate that Wald took the time to write this book, because more people need to know about Sister Rosetta, this book was so very difficult to read. Wald is an English professor and it shows. I feel like I was having to grab a dictionary for every other sentence. For example, she used the word "lithesome" why not just say "thin"? Maybe it's just me, but when I read, I just want to read. I enjoy learning new words, but I don't want to have to reach for a dictionary multiple times just to get through a single paragraph. I've never felt so stupid before reading a book in my life. I feel at times the author mocks the Pentecostal faith. If you don't understand something, you shouldn't write about it. She refers to receiving The Holy Spirit as being possessed by The Holy Spirit. I've been in the Pentecostal faith my whole life, I've never heard of receiving The Holy Spirit as being possessed by The Holy Spirit, to me that phrasing just sounds entirely inappropriate. She makes us Pentecostal people sound stupid for believing in God, for different aspects of our faith. There's a lot of parts in here, that are not even about Sister Rosetta. More of a history lesson about music, the Pentecostal faith, black history, stuff that I am interested in, but I just want to read about Sister Rosetta when I'm reading a book about Sister Rosetta. I'd say that there's as much historic information in here as there is as about Sister Rosetta. For a 200+ page book, I still feel as if I don't know much about Sister Rosetta. There are lots of mentions of various photographs taken of Sister Rosetta that are not included in the book, that I've Googled and I can't find. I guess they couldn't be included because legal reasons or copyright reasons, but if you can't include them in the book, why even mention them? I've read a long description of a photograph that sounds beautiful, and I don't even get to view it? --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/10878395-shout-sister-shout-the-untold-story-of-rock-and-roll](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/10878395-shout-sister-shout-the-untold-story-of-rock-and-roll) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
