Ben Harper and the Blind Boys of Alabama - There Will Be a Light
For 60 years, the members of the Blind Boys have been giving the world pure, unadulterated gospel. Lately, the group has enjoyed a hipper profile, thanks to their fine crossover albums on Peter Gabriel’s label. Harper previously lent his lean tenor to the Boys’ rousing rendition of “People Get Ready,” from Higher Ground. Here, they deliver such gems as the moving acapella “Mother Pray,” the stirring spiritual “There Will Be a Light” and the chilling “Well, Well, Well,” featuring stark vocals and bottleneck guitar.
