Directed by Robert L. Stone The Arhoolie Foundation, in cooperation with the Documentary Arts Foundation, produced this documentary film under the direction of Robert Stone. Sacred Steel shows the development and use of the steel guitar in assisting the services and leading the “praise music” in the House Of God denomination of these Holiness-Pentecostal churches. Featuring the Campbell Brothers with Katie Jackson, Elder Maurice “Ted” Beard, Calvin Cooke, Willie Eason, Elder Aubrey Ghent, Rev. Glenn Lee, the Lee Boys, Robert Randolph, historic footage of Henry Nelson, and much more.
In the late 1930’s musicians of the House of God Keith Dominion Holiness-Pentecostal Church began playing their worship music on electric steel guitars. Taking the words from Psalm 150:4 “praise Him with stringed instruments” and Psalm 149:3 “let them praise His name in the dance,” the guitarists developed unique styles, tunings, repertoires, and techniques.
Filmed on location in several churches, “Sacred Steel” traces the development of this tradition. Through interviews, performances, and historic footage, “Sacred Steel” will move the body and spirit as well as educate.
Directed by Robert L. Stone; Produced by Chris Strachwitz of the Arhoolie Foundation and Alan Govenar of Documentary Arts Inc.; Camera by Robert Tullier; Editor: Andrew Dean; Sound recorded by Strachwitz, Govenar, and Glen Drinkwater. Running time: 55 minutes. Arhoolie Foundation AF DVD 203.
Quotes about Sacred Steel: “Sacred Steel was the most exciting roots music to emerge at the end of the 20th century, and this video is the next best thing to actually being in the church with the musicians.” -Geoffrey Himes, music journalist for The Washington Post, Rolling Stone, Chicago Tribune, and others
“…unless you visited a House of God church, it was hard to imagine the gripping power this phenomena yields. Until now, that is.” -Dan Willging, Dirty Linen
I (James McKoy)am a direct offspring of Deacon Henry Nelson. I learn the Pedal Steel Guitar under his guidance way back in the 60s and 70s His Father Bishop W l Nelson was State Bishop of the State of South Carolina. I am proud and honored to be a pedal Steel player in the Grand Old House of God, Keith Dominion.
God bless everone that plays a steel guitar.

Bless you, James! 🙌
Thats wonderful! Im a lifetime guitar player but recently picked up a lapsteel and am in love with it. I tune mine to open E. Id love to be able to sit down with all these guys and just learn
I'm not a religious man but if I was (and I used to be) this is how I want to praise MY God.
I'm interested in your story. What was your previous religion and what impact (negatively or positively) did it make in your life?
I’m the little kid playing the drumstick as a guitar. Lol
3:18 is what I came here for. God bless Darick and the whole Campbell family.
So thrilled to finally view this special documentary! I was fortunate enough to be gifted with the CD entitled "None But The Righteous " by a brother in music (who has since passed on) who introduced me to the precious praise music of Sacred Steel; which became a part of my collection of music I was able to broadcast over the airwaves for my radio show at the time. I want thank the House of God , its members and musicians for sharing -blessed be, it's a breath-taking delight. God bless you S. M. Fox for your love and devotion to Music and the cultural landscape of the Arts and for your love and support. You are so sorely missed, when i go and see u in heaven i know we'll be singin' and playin' in Gods band and choir.
Amen amen amen!
Amazing documentation! Thank you so much for bringing this to light! The Lee Boys are my kind of people.
Absolutely soothing to my soul ❤️✨🙏🏼

Beautiful documentary of a living tradition which is alive and well . I saw the Campbell Brothers in Cognac France and they tear it up the stage and the audience
What an WONDERFUL documentary!! My goodness, I see so many of the precious saints who are asleep in Christ!! S.I.P.
When I was a kid of 4 or 5 years, I hear the first time a hawaiian guitar. At this moment on, when I hear a hawaii guitar, this sound touch my heart and my soul. Sometimes I have tears in my eyes, tears of joy ♥️♥️♥️

Fantastic documentary, thanks so much!
Here after hearing Robert Randolph on Krasno’s podcast. This is absolutely fascinating
I haven't seen this doc in about 15 years. I got this on VHS. Thanks for the upload
Absolutely amazing. Thank you Jesus!
Thanks for presentation..I knew about it,listened to it and it registered highly.We serve a mighty God...Alleluia..
This is a true testament that best singers and musicians come from no other church but the Sanctified, Pentecostal church no matter if it’s a independent Holiness church , Apostolic, COGIC, Church of God etc THEE BEST MUSIC IS CULTIVATED OUT OF THE HOLINESS CHURCH
Loveeeeeeeee ittttttt oh my goshhhhhh moreeeeee

47:31 look at Bishop Elliot bump Bishop Campbell like “look at your boy cuttin up” 😂 my favorite scene !

Yes !!!!!!!🎸🙌🏼😇
Now this is what you call a Sanctified church
Wow!
Maan... I was looking for the german metal band "Sacred Steel" and not this :(
OK, but did you watch any of the video? Did you like it? Watch the first 5 minutes and tell you don't like it! It seems that a fan of metal would like this Sacred Steel!
I was looking for this and had to pass thru some of the German metal band videos.
So, we are even, bro. 🤣
I’ve never met a metal head who isn’t open to inventive ways of playing music

Great music and performances but is this more about the players or Christ in the end?
This seems more like jam sessions than church services lol.
@@EdwardSnortin and not worship to God.
Any of these amazing musicians will tell you its all about Jesus. They know where their gifts come from. I think the documentary captures that balance very well.
They put in their work to sound good for God.
@@gxtmfa These musicians are paid, so how can you say that?
