Gavin Bryars and Tom Waits Jesus Blood Never Fails Me

[W2boz]

All of my life as far as I can remember it aint Christmas in our house untill this record has been played. What a legend of a track.

After all of these years it still gives me the shivers.

That old tramp died before the recording was finished! but he died happy i think, Jesus was right there!

[treintjefop]

@cordelmar What happend to you? I heard people cried when they heard it in the studio while making this compilation,

[Serenoj69]

@treintjefop I cried too. I can still cry when I hear it. Such a brittle, old and poor man and he is so faithfull to what he sees as his saviour (I don't believe in God). I can see him standing there, singing for 72 minutes (like he seems to have done). I would like to comfort him, so sad and so emotional this is to me.

[treintjefop]

@Serenoj69 i think it is the deep love that makes it so emotional. That man lost everything material but not his faith in love of something higher!

If you are not touched by this, you have no heart.
