This is from a US Library of Congress (by Alan Lomax, I think). I bought this on an LP from the LOC in the late 1960's while still a teenager. It is one of the most remarkable recordings I have heard in a life full of music.

This version of "Ain't no grave" is so fantastic. I have it on an LP called "Black religious singers".

Do you happen to have the rest of the album that this was on? I recall a Good Friday sermon, also collected by the Lomaxes, that was on it.

Is this public domain?

@VintageMusicFan I don't mean any dis to Brother Claude, but he was less than 20 years old when this recording was made, so it is difficult to give credence to his copyright claims.
From my research there's no such thing as a public domain recording in The United States due to conflicting state and federal laws. However a lot of old recordings are saved on Internet Archive as public domain. I haven't looked to see if this one is over there.

Thank you for uploading this song! I have a copy of Bozie Sturdivant singing this
song on cassette that I recorded from a cd a few years ago. I'm a Johnny Cash fan but much prefer Bozie's version of Ain't No Grave Can Hold My Body Down.
