This morning I am born again

[uniquehybrid]

Slaid Cleaves has written the music to a Woody Guthrie poem or lyrics, called "This Morning I Was Born Again." Ray Wiley Hubbard recorded it, and I love that so much. But it is inaccessible on the internet, sadly. I hope that, if Mr. Cleaves is blocking it under copyright, that this would somehow get resolved. It is a redemptive poem by Woody, and a definitive tune by Slaid, and Ray Wiley sings the hell out of it. Please let the music spread! Peace.

I enjoy all of Slaid's songs as I'm discovering them; however, I'm not sure I fully can appreciate his philosophy in this song. I can relate to finding God in nature, but I am also not afraid of crossing over to that which I trust is greater. Albeit, I'm not in any hurry today and will appreciate the entire journey and if that is where our philosophy meets so be it.

" I do not want your mansions." I love it.

Somewhere, both Woody Guthrie and Scotty Moore are smiling at this lovely fusion of American Primitive and rockabilly.

One of my favorite gospel songs. True it's message goes against most gospel songs. Slaid has a way with words.

[eggcetrafarms]

You mean Woody Guthrie has a way with words? He wrote it but never recorded it.

[cryingsoftly]

Didn't know that. I knew woody had a way with words. And Slaid has a way with words (listen to broke down, or hear him talk at his performances)

[eggcetrafarms]

Yes, they both have a way with words, you're right.

[cryingsoftly]

Though few can touch woody. I can't believe I immediately assumed Slaid did it. *Hangs head in shame*
