Spirit Of The Century
The Blind Boys Of Alabama are a gospel institution, relentlessly pursuing their goal of bringing soulful gospel to the masses. On Spirit Of The Century they have extended their 'family' to incorporate some stellar musicians to produce an album that mixes traditional spirituals with some more contemprary material.
iN 2004 Producer John Chelew brought in David Lindley and John Hammond on guitars, bassist Danny Thompson, drummer Michael Jerome, and harmonica ace Charlie Musselwhite. Ben Harper's Give a Man a Home is projected by the always impressive vocals of Clarence Fountain, but the track that has caught the atention of the public has certainly been the track that pairs the lyrics to Amazing Grace with the melody from House of the Rising Sun.
