Jud Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 The Blind Boys of Alabama, Go Tell It On The Mountain. Chrissie Hynde, Aaron Neville, Mavis Staples, the inimitable Tom Waits on the title track, and woven through everything these guys singing their considerable hearts out. Great sound quality. If it doesn't raise the hair on the back of your arms, have your hearing checked. One never knows, do one? - Fats Waller The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious.
