Blind Boys Of Alabama cover The Cross

Just saw this add in a Montreal newspaper.On their latest album,which includes Ben Harper as a special guest, you can hear their version of The Cross.

their cover is good, however, it's different from what you might expect. my suggestion is to listen to the cd in its entirety. you will appreciate their version more, PLUS you will expose yourself to a great cd...

check out the title track and "you and your folks/23rd psalm". i could definately hear/see prince performing the latter (or even "the ladder") with them, say perhaps at the celebration 3...

things that make you say, hmmm... prince, are you listening?

This is a great CD; I listened to it all day yesterday. They also do a cover of People Get Ready, which I love.

I was also thinking they'd be cool addition to the Celebration...
