Fret Not Gospel - I'll Fly Away

"I'll Fly Away" (Albert Brumley, 1932)
From Gloryland - American Funeral Songs

Fret Not Gospel at the Noe Valley Ministry for the 2008 San Francisco Bluegrass and Old-Time Festival. Everybody does I'll Fly Away", even us. But not everyone has two banjos playing on the same song and no one has the one banjo player paying his respects to the other (see at 2:19), in what must be a first in all of history.
Song 4 Recorded - February 8, 2008

We play, what could be called Americana gospel, the old-time roots music from the traditions of the black and white rural American churches, plus a few of our own.

The mandolin player was way to the right and out of the frame, and since there were so many pickers that night (two banjos, guitar, fiddle), the mandolin picker did not take a turn on this song. Otherwise it would have been blasphemy, no doubt about it.
