Blessed To Be... Modern Day Blues & Spirituals

 

We step out of the reggae zone for one week only for a foray into modern American blues & gospel sounds. Centers around the inspirational & sensational works of Ben Harper alongside his band the Innocent Criminals as well as with the legendary Blind Boys of Alabama. Also some deeply spiritual songs by the Holmes Brothers. A good few surprises 😋 

Its a different flavor this time but Jah Jah works go on sameway seen 💚💛💗



Begins with protest & resistance songs (ðŸ”ĨðŸ”ĨðŸ”Ĩ Babylon) before moving to a few brutally reflective gideon songs. A series of joyous, uplifting spirituals is then followed by some more soul-searching before coming to a optimistic & contented conclusion... 

We are blessed to be.. more thanks for life!

I've not done a tracklist for this one (enjoy the suspense hehe) but I'll list one below later on..

 

If been a real pleasure to revisit some of these old favorites of mine. The live session was a surprising success. Far from no one tuning in as I'd suspected might happen it was rocking this Friday night on hearticalfm.com as everyone really appreciated a break from the usual reggae jeggae.. 

Well pleased & satisfied :)
