Blind Boys of Alabama new clip from upcoming album

THE BLIND BOYS OF ALABAMA SPREAD THE WORD ON '08 TOUR

BLIND BOYS TO JOIN GOSPEL CARAVAN AT NYC'S NEW YORK CITY CENTER JAN 25

NEW ALBUM 'DOWN IN NEW ORLEANS' OUT JAN 29 ON TIME LIFE

Four time GRAMMY Awards winners The Blind Boys of Alabama are plotting a
national tour in support of their new album 'Down In New Orleans' (Jan
29/Time Life). To kick off the tour, the group will join an all-star lineup
of Gospel music legends including The Dixie Hummingbirds, Chuck Campbell,
and the McIntosh County Shouters in the National Heritage Masters: Gospel
Caravan concert January 25. The tour also sees the band sharing bills with
Mavis Staples and Taj Mahal.

Blind Boys' concerts are joyous celebrations. The Boston Globe observed
earlier this month, "In concert, the Blind Boys of Alabama still raise up
their bluesy hallelujahs to rarefied soul-groove highs." In a recent concert
review, The Boston Herald said, "[The] Blind Boys wow... the night was as
solid as a rock." The Philadelphia Inquirer agreed, "In their own way, The
Blind Boys have given black vernacular music a 21st century significance."

They may be from Alabama but they've been spending time in the Crescent
City. The Blind Boys' new album 'Down In New Orleans,' their first in three
years, will be released January 29, 2008 on the Time Life Music label.

The Blind Boys of Alabama are Jimmy Carter, Eric 'Ricky' McKinnie, Joey
Williams, Caleb 'Bobby' Butler, Tracy Pierce, Billy Bowers and Ben Moore.

Blind boys Praise the Lord. Try listening to Ben Harper and Blind Boys Church house Steps.

I Especially love the Blind Boys of Alabama. Try listening to Ben Harper and The Boys, "Church house steps." It's great Gospel.
