It's so nice to hear The Bones of J.R. Jones again.

Ten Degrees of Strange

In the Blossom of Their Shade

Long for the Heaven I Seek

From the album Tomorrow Is My Turn

This is one of many African-American spirituals that have been set for classical voice and piano – this one was arranged by the celebrated black tenor Roland Hayes. I was captivated by Florence Quivar’s rendition of it and brought it to the session – the challenge was to translate this spiritual through a classical lens back to the vernacular side. Gabe Witcher took the original Hayes arrangement and chordal structure and broke it down between guitar, banjo, and double bass, and I strove to find a timbre that fit in.

Tomorrow Is My Turn

LYRICS
There's blood in the water. Won't you cut me down. ‘Cause people keep on talking. Won't you cut me down.

Bobby Reid
Won't you please
Cut me down

Said I was a lover. Won't you cut me down. My hands are growing colder. Won't you cut me down. 

Bobby Reid
Won't you please
Cut me down

I only see your footprints. Stranded in the desert. Where I see you leaving. Me on the horizon. 

Spare me all your loving. Bobby won't you cut me. Down. Down. 

Leave me if you love me. Won't you cut me down. Or keep me if you want me. Won't you cut me down.

Bobby Reid
Won't you please
Cut me down
