L'envie #114 :: Kevin Nutt

Kevin Nutt has hosted the weekly gospel radio show Sinner’s Crossroads on WFMU since 2001. He found and has run the intermittent CaseQuarter Records label since 2003. Nutt’s father was a Baptist minister and from a very young age he was interested in the songs sung in church. Beginning around 1977, after hearing the Soul Stirrers and the Five Blind Boys of Alabama and after beginning a lifelong listening obsession with local gospel programs on Montgomery, Alabama gospel radio stations, Nutt began seeking out and collecting gospel records. Nutt was out canvassing for records at ground zero when the kind and sincere soul DJ’s, the gospel-come-lately reissue entrepreneurs and the cut throat opportunists were still in their funk(y) diapers.
