The Blind Boys

A couple of weeks back we saw The Blind Boys of Alabama, America's pre-eminent black gospel group. Hell, it's no wonder gospel churches in the deep south are packed every Sunday, this shit is FUN. Seriously, I would actually consider returning to church if Sunday mornings were filled with the raucous joy of redemption and salvation rather than the drudgery of sanctimony.

Btw for fans of HBO's "The Wire" (and if you're not yet a fan check it out), the opening theme song "Down In The Hole" (penned by Tom Waits) was performed by The Blind Boys for Season #1.
