Country Preacher is a live album recorded by the Cannonball Adderley Quintet in 1969.
Recorded at an unidentified church meeting of the Chicago chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference's Operation Breadbasket,[3] the album spent two months in the Cash Box R&B charts in 1970.[4]
Described by discographer and Adderley biographer Chris Sheridan as "an audible sociological record",[3] the introduction is by the Reverend Jesse Jackson.[5] The liner notes, written by Adderley, give some background to Operation Breadbasket and the Country Preacher.
The album is the first with bassist Booker as a member of the Quintet.[3]
Adderley, in his introduction to the title track, mentions fellow saxophonist Ben Branch, the director of the Operation Breadbasket Orchestra and Choir.[4]
