The Blind Boys of Alabama - Down in New Orleans
The Blind Boys boast a great comeback story. Formed in 1939, the gospel group was discovered by a new generation in the last five years, winning four Grammy Awards for albums featuring songs by Tom Waits, The Rolling Stones and Ben Harper, with whom it recorded There Will Be a Light. Here, the hipster septuagenarians team up with New Orleans legend Allen Toussaint and various brass bands to deliver deeply soulful, highly rhythmic and surprisingly youthful renditions of classics like “Down By the Riverside.”
