This song carries and emotional wall that hits you in the face. I love old, primitive gospel and spirituals. I love history. This music has it all, plus the hardship and pain showing in every note. I don't think it matters who sang this. Just listen. I can hear slaves singing this type of song when working the fields way before the Civil War. What a download! Thank you so much for posting this.

@olbaidojor Wanted to add I got to lots of different types of churches growing up. Daddy was small country preacher & was unique.He saw people for people. As far back as early 50's (when I was toddler) we always had company frm other countries during his school breaks.I grew up with lots of exposure to lots of different cultures. Ppl that many wouldn't even acknowledge at that time & I didn't even know that! The little church was my favorite & I wished I could have gone every Sunday!

@olbaidojor Thanks for your comment, but my explanation of 'call & refrain' is just that. Mine. I'm not an expert so I'd check w/some ref books. We were invited anytime to visit this church since my dad was a good friend to many of the ppl.It was in 60's & we'd surprise ppl when we went but were totally accepted.We were up North & not in the Civil Rights 'hot spots'. Just farm country.It was great! The mountain churches in W.Va. do a call & refrain also.It's different, but similar.:)

@ama00010 yes. I didn't get that in my comment. I might not have even thought it. Sometimes my brain is disengaged when I hear great music...my kids say it is disengaged much of the time. I listen to this a lot. You CAN hear the hammering...you can hear so much in this song! Thanks for adding something very important that I left out!

[olbaidojor]

@MyMoppet52 I would love to go to a Church were they did songs like this woohoo!! thanks for explaning 'call and refrain'
