What a Friend We Have in Jesus by The Purple Hulls

Tabs available @ http://banjobenclark.com and tons of free learning material @ http://facebook.com/thebanjoben . This is hands down our favorite thing to do in the world...take a classic ol' hymn, and bluegrass it up a little, in our own little style. We're calling ourselves Ida Red now. If you don't like it, tell Tom T. Hall...he's the one that named us.

@slash29 - Thanks for being open minded. You are right, many of the old hymns are the "Blues" of its day, expressing the deep longing that they couldn't speak outloud.

I'm not religious but I absolutely love this kind of bluegrass. Music communicates a universal message of passion that transcends above belief/creed and should be enjoyed by all
