Haim, you deprived us of the picture.

I posted this one yesterday but its just the perfect start to a Sunday morning.

"Since 1939, the Blind Boys of Alabam have sung a fervent blend of traditional and contemporary gospel music. Much has changed during these seven prolific decades. Stylistic phases have waxed and waned; personnel has come and gone. 78rpm records have given way to LPs, followed by eight-track tapes, cassettes and CDs. The Blind Boys' audience - once rigidly segregated and confined to traditional gospel venues - now reflects the group's eclectic, global following, while their repertoire has expanded to embrace secular songs with a strongly spiritual message. Such wide acceptance is also evidenced by four Grammy Awards, an honor that didn't exist when the Blind Boys started out."

Lontano,
I gave this a second listen today - the long treatment. IMHO its outstanding, did you say you liked the earlier one even better?
Cheers ... Oliver

This was the first of hers that I bought a few years back and it is different - no vocals. Some great guitar playing. I like it a lot

MilesSmiles,

I highly recommend this if you don't have it.

'Spirit of the Century'


The only accapella song on the cd is fittingly the last song, "The Last Time." I have a few other cd's of the The Blind Boys, but I believe this is my favorite.

Larry,
thank you - I have this one as well. I'm a fan of the Blind Boys for quite a while now. Did you ever get to see them live? I will try to once I move back to the States.
Cheers ... Oliver
