An American gospel institution, the Blind Boys Of Alabama began life in the 'jubilee' era of gospel singing. Today, more than 60 years on, they are happily domiciled at Peter Gabriel's Real World label, revisiting past glories and constantly surprising with new musical horizons.

This collection draws from their highly regarded work at both Coleman Records from 1948 to 1951 and Vee Jay during the early ‘60s. The performances illustrate not only the development in the gospel sound but the continuing search for new ways of reaching both religious congregations and the rapidly expanding market of record buyers. The songs here are marked by the tension between the gospel leads, the rise and fall of the harmony vocal support and the blistering instrumental punctuation that brilliantly emphasises each vocal line. Y’all ready for some old time religion?
