I have always loved the Blind Boys, Anyone who doesn't like these guys simply has a very narrow sense of what music is and forgets that auto tune and sampling to shallow lyrics is NOT music.

Love it love i thanks god for Blind Boys of Alabama.

Heard this song on BBC America's Copper and I have loved it ever since! This is beautiful!! ♡

Track taken from the album "Higher Ground".  This album is now available as part of the Real World Gold series - http://realworldrecords.com/gold/

The Blind Boys of Alabama started singing together way, way back in 1938. A mere 64 years later, the gospel group recorded this phenomenal set for Real World, their second release for the label. Showing no sign of coming off the gas in their autumn years, Higher Ground is a gutsy, impassioned offering, shot through with gospel fervour and soulful intensity. The boys are aided in their crusade by Robert Randolph’s blowtorch pedal steel guitar (along with the artistry of his Family Band), while additional flavour is provided by that immaculate troubadour Ben Harper.
